Twitter’s head of engineering announced on Thursday that he was resigning, the day after the disastrous attempts to launch Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign on the platform.
——
His company was left highly embarrassed by Wednesday night’s debacle, which saw Twitter unable to live-stream the audio of DeSantis’s campaign launch, and a hot mic discussion with Twitter’s owner Elon Musk and moderator David Sacks.
Musk and Sacks said the problems were due to ‘server strain’ and ‘melting the servers’, claiming that it was the largest event ever hosted online – but many pointed out that far larger events had been held without a hitch.
Without giving any details on the reason for his departure, the engineer, Foad Dabiri, announced his exit from the company in a series of Twitter posts Thursday afternoon. He wrote:
After almost four incredible years at Twitter, I decided to leave the nest yesterday. The combination of the fantastic community, the impact it has, and its limitless potential sets Twitter apart. So, here is my pseudo-obligatory gratitude thread: #LoveWhereYouWorked
During my time @Twitter, I experienced two distinct eras: pre and post M&A. Both came with their fair share of challenges, but they also shared a grand mission and a team of extraordinary individuals. What truly made Twitter exceptional was, above all else, “the people.”

And then came “2.0.” What an extraordinary journey it has been. To say it was challenging at the outset would be an understatement. The change was massive and rapid; we came through and emerged stronger, thanks to the remarkable team that held the fort.
Working with @elonmusk has been highly educational, and it was enlightening to see how his principles and vision are shaping the future of this company.

2.0 also introduced me to incredible “oldtimers” whom I had the pleasure of collaborating with Paul B, @wanghaofei @ehikian @ellagirwin JP @marmars @NegatedVoid Tim L. And the great newcomers @tim_zaman @rpoo @cstanley and many more.
Twitter is a place that defies comprehension. It’s unique, peculiar, remarkable, and resilient, all thanks to the brilliant and capable individuals who have built and continue to shape it.

It’s impossible to grasp the inner workings of this platform and what goes on on a daily basis unless you’ve been fortunate enough to experience it firsthand. So kudos to the team that, despite all the outside noise, keep going and going strong.
And @3_stan , brother, we better ensure we work together again soon. You know this duo can do some serious damage 😉

In other words, “I tried to tank DeSantis’ anouncement on the DL and Elon is on to me. I’m getting out while I can.”
I bet Musk was on fire
I’d think more heads will roll
Sounds like he is not happy with the direction Elon and Twitter is going and he wants no part of it.
Yeah WHAT A TOTAL COMPLETE EMBARRASSMENT !!! ELON YOU FUCCKED UP BAD !!
IT WAS LIKE THE 1920S PHOTOS OF THE COMPLETE FAMILY EARS LEANING INTO THE RADIO. It was EXACTLY the same DUMB B.S.
EXCEPT THE AM RADIO WOULD HAVE NEVER DIED….DESANTIS YOU KNOW IS FUKKING PISSED !!!
It shouldn’t have been how he announced it to begin with. They only had 700K viewing it and if it could only be viewed if you had a Twitter acct then I wouldn’t have been able to see it. I quit Twitter before they blocked Trump from the platform. The hatred drove me away and I won’t go back. I’d imagine though many that did watch are not all supporters of the republican party.
I think Elon, like President Trump, got a rude awakening about how truly evil and hateful the DemRATS and libs are. Hopefully they both learn from this.
Oh this definitely stinks of SABOTAGE.
