I'm sure they severely messed up in a bunch of things during the layoffs. And things broke in the process.
But the catastrophic scenario that some people painted, where Twitter was basically walking dead timebomb ready to crash irreparably at any second, wasn't true, clearly.
- ceejayoz 4y ago“The engineers did a better job building a resilient system than we expected” speaks well for the fired folks, but doesn’t preclude it eventually hitting a point where that resiliency runs out.
- playingalong 4y agoIt rather speaks well for the original engineers who laid out the foundation. It might be a totally different set of people than these in 2022, fired or not TLDR: Twitter is old.

- watwut 4y agoI would interpret that part as "original twitter architecture was actually well done and resilient" then anything else. It just means that many of those systems were better done originally then legend had it. The severe and immediate loss of advertising however was not just a minor messed up part of the takeover. The money making parts of business is something that does matter.
