Somebody at Twitter 1.0 left a poison pill algorithm hidden in the code to keep certain people shadow banned after they left or were fired.

TBH, In his interview with Tucker he said the code was bizarre and convoluted (paraphrasing). And he needs help to get it back into proper form. He said Twatter was run as a SJW. platform and not as a business. Massively over staffed and in desperate need of reform.
I suspect Twitter software is like a small start-up I worked for briefly. They just kept adding code on top of code on top of code. Never going back to update the original but instead adding more layers. They did this to customize for each customer. Hopelessly complex mess. I do not seek to offend anyone here if they code but the people I have met who do this seem to think only in terms of short term fixes. "I CAN do this." Therefore, "I do it". Little thought to how what one just did might effect what the guy sitting next to you just did.
It's the retarded AGILE scrum fad. Don't think about the future and don't plan anything. Just spend two weeks at a time writing random code and hope it works. Then two weeks later change your mind and do it again.
Agile works if done properly. The problem is, most businesses don't know how to do it properly and end up with a bad mix of agile waterfall, which doesn't work at all and ends up with spaghetti code messes.
Proper agile takes time for writing proper unit tests and following a test-driven paradigm. That test-driven paradigm then leads to "fearless refactoring". Proper agile will then take the time to refractor the code to be better.
I was in a company that did proper agile for a while. Problem was, that company was a contractor company and didn't have enough clients so many got laid off. The clients it did have was happy, but they hired more than they could afford to pay from the clients they did have.
I've been to 4 companies since then and not a single one did proper agile. Always some bad mix of agile and waterfall.
Its not a fad. SpaceX has seemed to do quite well in manifesting the principles in manufacturing rockets...
