Judging by Twitter's uptime record in the past, they probably have had an experience where someone thought that, started coding, and crashed the whole site.

- benreesman 18y agoI like making fun of Twitter as much as the next guy, although in all fairness when I saw this graph I decided to give them a little more credit. They're facing ongoing, unbounded growth. I can't claim to have handled that kind of scaling, let alone handled it without a hitch. http://alexa.com/siteinfo/twitter.com http://alexa.com/siteinfo/twitter.com (make sure to set the timeframe to 'max' to see what i'm talking about)
