- bushbaba 4y ago…why? Twitter much like Reddit has never been profitable. It’s a sinking ship.
- hn_go_brrrrr 4y agoBecause Twitter has (had?) skilled engineers. The profitability of a company is likely uncorrelated with the quality of its engineers.
- mayankkaizen 4y agoGod knows what is going on on the minds of remaining employees. I guess most of them want to quit but couldn't for variety of reasons (such as visa issues). And some may be too deep in awe of Musk to quit.
- nostromo 4y agoFacebook just laid off more than an entire Twitter’s worth of employees.
- mrguyorama 4y agoBecause visa employees are basically shackled to their organization. They stupidly cheap compared to a fare market value. There's probably like 1000 at most, and not all of them will bite. It would be a cheap way to get really reliable and CHEAP devs to replace the 10k they just dropped.
