- jrockway 17y agoCitation needed. It makes me sad that a post that portrays every employee of a company negatively without citing any sources gets modded up here. "Haha, Twitter has a fail whale, they all suck!!11" sounds like Digg, not HN.
- miracle 17y agoThere was a screenshot a few months ago showing the debug version of twitter which showed that each page request needed about 12 mysql queries... that's proof enough that they didn't have any talented engineering talent. Their business guys and designers were however top. But hey, at the end it worked out all very well :-)
