I predicted Twitter would be the next unicorn to cut staff and offices ten days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10300002 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10300002). To be honest, I didn't think it would happen quite this fast.
But 4K employees, 2K engineers to support Twitter? If they were still in a rapid growth/innovation phase, perhaps they could get away with this. But rapid growth is over.

- donohoe 11y agoDo be fair, only part of the prediction was right at best.
