Jesus fucking Christ. Can these companies learn how to write software? Quality is dropping like dogs. Twilio used to be a good company and now they are utter shite. Such a shame. Leetcode and bad hiring practices have done this to our industry.
Neither bad hiring not leet code is a problem with Twilio properties in my experience. Quality however, that gets railroaded by "deliverables" -- the problem is craftsmanship is hard to maintain and manage as companies scale while priority shifts to product announcements.
There needs to be penalties. Massive penalties for breaches like this. That is the real problem. Nothing will happen to Twilio even though they caused such loss. They need to suffer economically for this, then quality will improve.
It seems much easier to pin the ever-decreasing quality of software on the practice of trying to keep everything secret (propriety). Like, obviously it's not secure if they don't let people audit it...
