I'm in the same boat - there's no way I would have worked at Twitter a year ago; but now I would consider it. Elon's acquisition has made me much more optimistic about the outlook of the company. If Twitter has a mass exodus after the acquisition, I'm sure there's a wave of open-minded engineers ready to take their place.
- recuter 4y agoTwitter: 500 million tweets a day. WhatsApp: 65 billion messages a day. Is writing better spam filters / bot detection really so fun sounding? I don't get the fascination, it just seems like one of the most boring websites in the world. (Not being sarcastic) It is up and running for a long time already, written and rewritten and rerewritten.
- twblalock 4y agoYou know there's a lot more going on inside a company that serves that kind of traffic than just spam filters, right?
- recuter 4y agoSure. And I know it isn't directly comparable to WhatsApp but it isn't mind boggling scale really. You want to work on the adtech side of it there's quite a few of those exchanges similar in size around, they just aren't house hold names. Where is the fun? I'm genuinely asking.
- mensetmanusman 4y agoTwitter: 500 million public posts a day. WhatsApp: 0 public posts a day. This might be comparing apples to oranges, as one is more like a global town square, and one is more like a postal service.
