An “amateur hour” Javascript bug is self-DDOSing Twitter, sending infinite requests from users related to — or possibly even causing — Elon Musk’s “temporary emergency measures” to stop web scraping.
It‘s pretty clear to me this guy knows nothing other than “how to throw money at intelligent people to make them make more money”, but with Twitter he somehow didn‘t do that. Instead he went the opposite way, to not pay bills and fire the intelligent people. I can only surmise, that this is an effort to destroy Twitter, maybe it was a thorn in some countries side?
Yeah I feel you, it‘s like the “rich person at a carnival” parable:
Entrepreneurship is like one of those carnival games where you throw darts or something.
Middle class kids can afford one throw. Most miss. A few hit the target and get a small prize. A very few hit the center bullseye and get a bigger prize. Rags to riches! The American Dream lives on.
Rich kids can afford many throws. If they want to, they can try over and over and over again until they hit something and feel good about themselves. Some keep going until they hit the center bullseye, then they give speeches or write blog posts about “meritocracy” and the salutary effects of hard work.
Poor kids aren’t visiting the carnival. They’re the ones working it.
Maybe this is just a miss. I tend to see plans or conspiracy sometimes, when it could just be incompetence.
