*sigh* Seriously? I've already started telling people to change their filters and now they're going to break *again*.
This is why daddy drinks. All kidding aside, I don't understand how a change like this gets pushed out without the left hand knowing WTF the right hand is doing — which is what it looks like (from an outsider's perspective) happened. IMO/FWIW: You've gotten too big to make these sorts of changes without more consideration and communication. It makes me look bad as a developer, and it makes Twitter look bad. The irony is that you're a company built around communication.
