Ex-Twitter engineer: Musk brought Agile to X, he just never called it that
JoeJustice · x · 2026-09-18
Answering what Elon Musk brought to and took from the organization at Twitter, former engineer Joe Justice argued Musk imported a faster pace of solving the most important problems and renamed it X.
Under Musk, server security improved, latency dropped, and the feed algorithm went from opaque to understandable, consistent, and intentional. Justice contends that "pace of value creation" is exactly what the Agile Manifesto means — Musk rarely uses the word Agile, but that is precisely what he implemented.
