It is fascinating that half (or more?) of Twitter's workforce can be released and there's no discernible degradation of the service. I wonder how many other tech CEO are looking at their organizations and wondering if they could slash similarly without losing platform performance.
- josefresco 4y ago> there's no discernible degradation of the service Twitter advertisers would beg to differ.
- phendrenad2 4y agoThe service has degraded for advertisers?
- vrc 4y agoIn terms of brand safety it has. But we haven’t seen the same backlash as when FB or YT had brand safety issues a few years ago. My guess is because the Elon stories are chumming the water for Twitter stories. Curious if it ever shakes out
- YetAnotherNick 4y agoWe aren’t talking about brand safety, just whether the site is working as expected after firing all the engineers.
- josefresco 4y agoYes. I've heard directly of the chaos. If I hadn't heard directly I wouldn't have commented but sadly have, from multiple people.
- phendrenad2 4y agoI'm interested to know more about what's failing.
- a_shovel 4y agoThe Latest Tweets feed on the Android app was completely broken for about a week for me and several other people.
- garren 4y agoSeems short-sighted. That Twitter hasn’t fallen over appears more like a credit to the SRE work that went into getting everything running on, effectively, autopilot. Today’s Twitter infra is clearly a far cry from the stuff a decade ago.
