- neverrroot 1y agoIt worked for Twitter, very well from an IT point of view.
- owebmaster 1y agoIt works great for Twitter. Every other month there is a strategy failure to get some media attention.
- neverrroot 1y agoI still remember the doom preached at the crossroads. Guess what happened over the next years.
- lossolo 1y agoThey didn't go down, but the lack of staff is starting to show in some areas. For example, clicking on certain links in their developer docs leads nowhere. There are also API issues, such as disappearing likes. Everything has its consequences.
- owebmaster 1y agoDid Twitter get any better?
- SlowTao 1y agoIt wasn't a total collapse like some were expecting, they haven't really done much new however. Cutting some of the fat was a good idea but they might have gone a little too lean in places.
- astrange 1y agoTwitter fired all the advertising account managers, and no longer makes money because it essentially no longer has ads.
- dyauspitr 1y agoTwitter doesn’t make a profit. It’s propped up by a billionaire so he can have social clout.
- kevinventullo 1y agoGenuine question: what makes you think Twitter is profitable? As far as I can tell, the numbers are a secret.
- mapontosevenths 1y agoYou're missing the point. Sure, they're going to just keep doing what they've always done, but this time they're going to do it HARDER and with 15% fewer people!
- javier2 1y agoSo just like the plan they executed in 2023 and 2024! It must start working at some point right?
- Coffeewine 1y agoAdmittedly, just because something hasn’t bourn fruit doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad plan. All they need is a major stumble by TSMC or AMD or some tailwinds themselves and they could start looking much better.
- mapontosevenths 1y ago"Our plan is perfect, it's the world that's messed up!"
- ryandrake 1y agoIt wouldn't be the first time an Intel CEO resorted to prayer[1] as their business implodes. 1: https://www.threads.com/@masiosare/post/C-SoS6qJbU6?hl=en https://www.threads.com/@masiosare/post/C-SoS6qJbU6?hl=en
- combinator_y 1y agolol I forgot about this one, Intel have a very big collection of weirdo execs I guess.
- kstrauser 1y ago"Well actually..." That wasn't a prayer. It was a quote from Proverbs, a collection of pithy sayings and life advice. Other quotes from it include "above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it" and "pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall". It's literally a book of, well, proverbs. Many are religious, but plenty of others are general life advice.
- givemeethekeys 1y agoThe beatings will continue until morale improves. Layoffs and Return to Office! Imagine doing what all your competitors are doing while being one of the least desirable big tech companies to work for. What could possibly go wrong? /s
- gishglish 1y ago> Imagine doing what all your competitors are doing while being one of the least desirable big tech companies to work for. Good thing you have very few of them because your industry is way too capital intensive to start a competitor now. I am generally curious what capitalisms proposed solution to this problem is.
- MPSFounder 1y agoOffshore. There's your solution bud
- gishglish 1y agoOf course, not sure why I didn’t see what’s plainly in front of me
- givemeethekeys 1y agoEvery large tech company is a competitor for Intel's talent.
- electriclove 1y agoHow much talent is really there today?
- geodel 1y agoI mean hiring a lot over years did not make things any better so why not try the reverse.
