How does something like Tailwind lead to a company big enough that you can layoff 75% of the engineering team?
- eatonphil 9mo agoLinkedIn says the company was 2-10 employees. 75% laid off wouldn't have been a lot of people. Tough for them though.
- 1123581321 9mo agoThree engineers laid off, one remaining.
- whatamidoingyo 9mo agoI was wondering the same thing.
- kayo_20211030 9mo ago3 of 4. Not a behemoth by any stretch. A bit sad.
- d1sxeyes 9mo agoI don’t know how big the “team” was, but 75% suggests maybe 4 engineers, one left. The next number up that works is 8, and 8 full time engineers to work on tailwind seems like a lot.
- d1sxeyes 9mo agoListened to the podcast, it was 3 laid off.

In this comment, he says that he had to lay off 3 people. Not sure if this means it was him+4engs and now it’s just him+1eng or if he’s including himself and he’s working alone now. But either way, can’t be fun
- phonon 9mo agoIt was three out of four people.
