X has shipped way more new features on the past year than in the rest of its existence.

Musk famously reduced head count by like ... 80%? To me, that speaks of a very capable team. But yeah, downvote this one as well, the truth is evident anyway, lol.




"X has shipped way more new features on the past year than in the rest of its existence."

This makes you sound like you live in Elon's alternate reality.



lol, the last year on that list is mostly a pitiful collection of minor tweaks and “plans” to do stuff in the future. Any day now, I’m sure.


Those look like mostly nonsense tweaks to put a "paywall"/"sign-in wall" on content. They have mostly made the service less useful to the world.


I never downvoted you but it's clear you don't know what you're talking about. X has definitely not shipped way more new features in the past year than the rest of existence.

I don't even know how you would quantify that but features are only possible when you have a good architecture (incl. infrastructure and well-thought out interfaces) already in place. That kind of stuff takes years and was done by the team before Musk even took over.

I also feel you're completely discounting the regressions. Twitter has suffered search engine discoverability; the API has completely broken in their attempt to monopolize it; and the entire accessibility team was axed leading to a very broken user experience for those relying on screen readers. Maybe those features just don't matter to you but in an attempt to quantify "number of features shipped" they should definitely be accounted for somehow
