How has Twitter limiting the number of tweets we can read caused it to DDoS itself?

606 views

I saw someone say that the new Twitter update was causing it to essentially DDoS itself. Is this true? I have a very basic understanding of what DDoS is but I don’t understand how the two are connected. Thanks in advance.

Further question – why wasn’t this fixed within a few hours?

You get the surge of traffic, servers struggling and a lot of complaints. Surely even the few engineers not yet fired figure it out. Isn’t it then easy to write a few lines of code to introduce the standard solution to this problem?
