I agree. I grant It’s possible Mudge is

A) an old hand and doesn’t know how to run a security program with the tech today

B) a strong tech hire who can’t lead a program.

But Mudge is still… Mudge, and he’s also proven his ability to collaborate so if he was a bull in a china shop a twitter, that would be surprising.

There’s also a broader trend here of well known security leads that originate from that time working at social media and leaving quickly, like Alex Stamos, who also u-turned out of Facebook.

So are the odds higher that Mudge did a bad job, or this set of companies are not great internally and old guard security leads are pointing it out? The twitter CEO letter framing him as a bad employee doesn’t address this context.
