What would the external signs of a company with lots of deadweight be if not lack of shipping combined with serial unprofitability and a bunch of middle management with a headcount not commensurate with their activities?
- saagarjha 4y agoTo be entirely honest, I think Twitter is serially bad at shipping things and also hired too hard during the pandemic. That said I stand by my earlier point, which is that measuring this via "I see a bunch of people on TikTok drinking lattes" is about the dumbest way to do it, because it's nothing special in this industry. What you really want to look at is "how long is it taking to ship things" and "what does code churn look like" and "what stakeholders are involved in a new product launch", which are generally much harder to see.
