While true, engineers ae SpaceX are much much harder to replace that web devs/engineers at Twitter, which are a dime a dozen. With so many in the Valley cutting jobs, if Twitter needs to hire new engineers, I don't think they'll have issues finding them.

- shagie 4y ago... that is going to lack meaningful stock and bonuses... or work life balance for a while.
- csydas 4y agoFor me it's not so certain; I think that most of the devs/engineers at Meta, Twitter, et. al., might get a bit of cold feet with the biggest tech companies and with Silicon Valley in general. I think smaller companies and upstarts have a chance to get some great talent that will be strongly considering their living situation and looking for something more stable, but I'm not so sure that Twitter is going to have its pick of the litter for a long time until it demonstrates a stable and mature environment to work in. I have no doubts some persons will be very nervous and take the opportunity, and I wish them luck. I'm not so sure others will be as eager.
- partiallypro 4y agoUpstarts that I know of are struggling with funding, so I don't think that opportunity is as big as it once was.
- munificent 4y agoSure, Twitter can probably find new engineers to hire. But replacing all of the random but critical bits of knowledge in the heads of the people walking out the door is much harder.
