@swotam I can't speak for @paul, but even if they can weather the business impact (and I think they can - @ivory is almost certainly going to be a huge hit) I have to imagine this being a real emotional hit.
As a developer, myself, I'd hate to see a long-time beloved project knifed in the back like this.
Every good app deserves a proper sunset.
@jeff @paul @ivory agreed, itโs completely unacceptable that they would do this without giving devs a proper heads up. However, when you look at whoโs in charge at Twitter, does this really surprise you?
