The question becomes how sync'd this is with the actual production system or if it's something they're putting out there just to sate people.

Hello, yes, this is Gregly

@simon_bitdiddle @thomasfuchs Oh, there’s no way they’re syncing this with prod. At least I’d be extremely surprised if they did.

I wonder if people who are forking it are making enhancements or fixing bugs and Twitter are using those efforts to fix their bugs in prod.

I also wonder if Twitter is trying to hire people who do that sort of thing.

God, came up with a novel supply chain attack: We copied code from someone who patched a bug in the code we published but it turned out to be poorly crafted/intentionally buggy.

We can't demand that they fix it because we didn't get permission to use it.

I think the amusing thing would be to see them actively develop day-to-day on this and then suddenly /stop/ right around the same time an announced round of firing occurred.
