Twitter guy admits rendering the timeline hits well over 200 different microservices, which probably does add up to around 1000 internal requests. He even admits they have 10 years of tech debt and that they need to fix and essentially blames previous leadership for not focusing on performance. Also every request apparently has to do a full round trip to the US data center regardless of location worldwide. Musk really isn't wrong here, Twitter is a mess
