## What Jamie wrote

So X has decided that they really want people to start saying X and not saying Twitter anymore. Someone tells a developer to make that happen. So they start replacing "twitter.com" with "x.com" but don't bound the match at all? Seriously, this is beyond amateur hour, and exposes users to super-simple phishing attacks. C'mon — even an associate fresh on the job should have known better. 🤦‍♂️
