    Incredible. There’s no way engineers didn’t push this to production without testing. So what happened? My uneducated guess is that Musk told them to force logins by the end of the day or something.

      That’s quite an assumption

        Yeah, fuckups happen all the time even with great engineers. GitLab and GitHub are great examples.

          But in this case we have Elon Musk, a CEO who just wants to get things done. The engineers may have pushed this without testing because they don’t want to get fired.

      Likely a lot of lost institutional knowledge, plus good talent wont put up with bullshit and hang around unless they are tethered with visa restrictions or similar.

      Even better, the checkmark users paid to be alpha testers and get the privilege of using a paid app less than when it was free.

    Such a noob move.

    No rate limiting, no exponential back off… That’s the easiest recipe for failure

    Said this elsewhere but I bet Elon was the one who wrote that code too. I feel like an actual scripter/coder would know to rate them requests even for their own local services.

      How DARE you accuse Elon Musk of actual labor?

      I bet it’s his army of yes men who weren’t fired or quit when he stepped in.
