- mechanical_fish 15y agoAbsolutely. I'm postulating a very conservative lower bound here. (And, obviously, a very rough approximation of the actual history. If we could see Twitter's Git repository presumably we'd find that the service actually went through dozens, perhaps hundreds, of performance tweaks as it grew.)
