The headline may overstate whatever happened. I'd never used tweetdeck prior to now. Yet, it just now loaded fine for me. Once it loaded, I clicked a button that said something like, "setup some fields", and then tweets were displayed. What's not working? I'm just a free user of twitter.
Or... it was broken for normal users and is now fixed.
The newspaper said there was a fire at this building? Yet, it looks fine to me now?

At the very least per tweet it’s possible to see really view patterns, which to my knowledge what’s possible before.

Mileage varies. For me, Twitter’s user experience hasn’t changed noticeably.
Is it working for you today?
Also, here’s a nice way to just get the tweets from people you follow: use the realtwitter.com redirect, then click “Latest.”
There were many different hypotheses on the outcome of Elon firing 80%+ of Twitter employees: 1. The site would crash and burn the next day. 2. Nothing would change. All those engineers were anyways just sitting around. 3. There would be no immediate impact (servers can run by themselves after all), but the site would slowly degrade over time as institutional knowledge around maintenance, upkeep and all the various s…
A simple and short lived glitch does not a #3 make. Twitter is better than ever now. Elon did good.

By selling it to a chum who paid an overpriced tag of $44B through leverage.
Honestly I think this point is understated. Twitter (executives at least - but that's how capitalism works in America right now) basically won by offloading a dying platform onto a sucker with more money then sense. If they'd spread the joy around so that everyone who worked there got a golden parachute to glide away on before Musk walked in with a kitchen sink I think I'd be singing praises of them as folk heroes -…
I think you have that phrase backward.
In case people are wondering what this is about: All links and images are not working on twitter right now. Seems like they accidentally included their own services in the api blocklist? Sending best of luck to the engineers. The whole twitter saga has given me a good chunk of valuable "lesson learned" over the last weeks and months.. so thanks for that.
For someone who has tried to avoid hearing as much as possible about this drama (and didn't notice this was about Twitter until looking at the comments), what are the condensed "lesson learned" takeaways if you don't mind elaborating?
I won't argue that firing all the engineers so swiftly wasn't a mistake (I mean I _could_, but don't want to dig myself any deeper than necessary in a single post). What I will say though, is that this gives me hints as to the quality of engineering that went on at Twitter.
I feel like some stellar Rube Goldberging went into solving problems that could have used simpler, if not _less CV boosting_, solutions. I've been at places like this. The engineers have fun building convoluted "solutions" for the sake of saying they worked on cool-tech-x. And surprise, it needs endless maintenance.
