(A) How is a CTO responsible for deployments? CTO oversees the development evolving the company’s strategic technical direction so that's its beneficial for a business. Twitter is not your typical YC startup. Large companies' CTOs should not care about things like "this could DDOS us". These are the responsibilities of SDEs. (B) No, but I just googled it and I can't see how the term applies here. In my opinion, it doesn't.

on (B) you're correct. I tried to post this above but it got flagged quick. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36561808 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36561808 it's a 429 error, so the developer who posted this is an idiot. they're not even wrong. the 429 doesn't even touch twitter's infrastructure. the HTTPS TLS terminates at a Google VM, which gets relayed depending on the VIP used to hit it, but the traffic never gets past that Google VM. This is literally /HOW/ companies deal with DDOS. https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastructure/2019/expand-the-edge https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/topics/infrastruc... it's unbelievable that my median salary for the past decade is $3,000 after several years of "Startup" followed by "How to Start a Reboot of My Life"
