Any ideas would be appreciated. Also how do I fight back since I wasn't given any options to protest being banned off of Twitter?

I saw a lot of this type of thing when I programmed -- and it wasn't being done for nefarious reasons -- it was simply bad programming. People would go to unbelievable lengths to complicate the simplest of tasks. We had a phrase for this: running around the house ten times to get through the front door.
Now imagine what a group of programmers can do if they're trying to complicate some code...
Wow this is very insightful stuff thanks for sharing. I know absolutely zero about coding and programming. This absolutely makes sense though. I like the phrase u gave. Definitely something all coding should be aware of. How long did u program for. Do u still do it or if not why did u stop
I programmed for around 20 years. I called it quits when the company never replaced anyone that left, and just started dumping more work on my desk with no pay increase. It simply wasn't worth the mental stress at this point.
Did u enjoy doing it though. If the pay and work load was balanced?
I can understand why you would quit that's not fair
I loved coding. Logic was my thing, my niche. But I began to realize that I was nothing more than a slave to the corporation. It was eat, sleep, drive, work. Nothing to motivate you. The best programmer and the worst programmer got the same raise, no matter whether the company had a good year or a bad year. Promotions were extremely rare. It was soul-crushing. I finally said, "Enough!"
The funny thing was, everyone from the director on down was shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that I left. I got called into my boss's office and the directors office wondering why I was leaving. They were that clueless. Naturally, there was no offer to better my situation. Leaving was the best thing I ever did.
