> Not much. 100 engineers should be enough to ensure the continuity of microblogging. You’ll have to give up on a lot of features, services, and internal departments, but it’s not going to make any difference for users. How about departments like sales, marketing and legal? The users won't miss it, but I imagine the shareholders would. You can argue about the other two, but Twitter makes all of its money from selling ads and data. The big money there is in selling to big companies and enterprise sales don't scale like engineering does. You end up hiring a lot of people when you have job listings like "Account Manager, Indonesia".
