It really irks me when a big company like Meta tries to describe a new project as a startup created by a "nimble team of engineers". In the blog post they link to [1] >Threads was developed in an environment more akin to a startup. OK sure, a small group of people broke the model of development and did something new from the ground up? >Threads scaled successfully to 100 million users without any major downtime thanks to Meta’s underlying infrastructure and engineering foundations, which were critical to the successful launch. Ah, no. All of the underlying hard parts were done already for them. That's not a startup.
