4. Something in between? In short term we'll see some issues but overall nothing important will change and these downtimes and small issues are a justifiable cost for letting such massive cut in the payroll.
- bfeynman 4y agolol, I guess every tech company that has major KPIs for availability is wrong and people are totally fine with apps being down constantly, and new users will totally come back after trying to signup and failing. It's a tech company, a few thousand employees supporting perhaps hundreds of millions of users is pretty standard economies of scale.
- emilsedgh 4y agoWhat keeps Twitter up as a major social network is not %99.99 uptime. It's strong network effects in play. What will sink Twitter is not %99.8 uptime. It's those network effects fading away. For example, if people stopped using MySpace, Facebook, etc it was not because of their availability. Again, I'm not saying this is cool. Im just saying if that extra %0.2 downtime (in short term) costs you 80% of your work force costs, a business manager may consider that acceptable.

Well we're not even a year in and these "small issues" seem to be repeatedly occurring. Let's get a little further out with some more stability before we call them justifiable lol
