The coding and software is just a means to an end. And it wasn't actually that broken in the first place.

That wasn't where Twitter's problems lay. But I don't think he has the foggiest idea how to work on those problems, and trusting anyone else to come in and know more than he does about what the issues are and how to fix them isn't going to happen, mainly because they'll require that he changes his behaviour.

So he'll just drive on with the technofixes that achieve nothing that Twitter needs right now and the disgusting corporate atmosphere he's building until somebody yanks his lead real hard.
