'When Elon Musk took over Twitter, he started by firing half of the social
network's staff. That's a recipe for failure right there. Leaving aside Musk's
management and policy failures, social networks need experienced developers to
keep moving forward.
Ranting about the remaining employees needing to be "extremely hardcore"
doesn't help any. And, adding insult to injury, Musk has also abandoned
Twitter's open-source projects.
Like almost all modern software companies, Twitter depends on open-source
programs. The network itself runs on CentOS 7. This free Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL) clone comes to the end of its life at the end of June 2024.
According to Twitter sources, the plan was to move to CentOS Stream. Now,
there's literally no one left to plan out, never mind oversee this operating
system migration.'
