      That’s actually pretty hard to do with a codebase as large as twitter’s must be. You would have to locate the frontend code for each front end they have (website, app, etc). For each front end, there will be multiple Twitter logos (different resolutions, icon version, etc.). And then you would have to replace all of them and push the changes through their pipelines.

      I doubt musk can do that.

          Elon is a novice when it comes to programming.

          That is obvious to any programmer who saw his antics at the beginning of the Twitter takeover.

          I mean, the guy was claiming the people who added the most lines of codes are the ones with the most skills and are the ones allowed to stay.

          While an amateur programmer needs 100 lines of code, a good programmer can do the same in less than 10 lines. Which is faster, more performant, wastes less resources, and is easier to read afterwards.

          It is literally the opposite of what Musks claims.
