I might put SpaceX, Google and even companies like Boeing very far ahead of Twitter when it comes to "one of the best engineering staffs in the world"
EDIT: I added Google because of robots, AI and driverless cars, I'm not really sure Twitter is on that level.
- argonaut 13y agoThat's just nitpicking. Twitter is considered a top tech company to work for in SV, IMO. Their hiring standards are no different than Google's or Facebook's.
- threeseed 13y agoWhat you're doing is stupid. All you're doing is placing software engineering behind all of the classes of engineering. Why not mention companies like BP, Pfizer or Toyota ? In terms of software engineering Twitter is absolutely one of the best around.
- static_typed 13y agoCitations or evidence required for your claims that Twatter is absolutely one of the best around.
- ropable 13y agoThis is one of the more tiresome class of comment on HN. The parent was self-evidently just an opinion.
- eropple 13y ago> All you're doing is placing software engineering behind all of the classes of engineering. Is doing so wrong?
- username223 13y agoCalling what Twitter does -- SMS with ads and RoundRects -- leading software engineering is an insult to software engineers. If twitter built cars and planes, I would walk.
- xentronium 13y agoIt's no insult. Given enough scale, simplest things like posting 140 character messages become engineering challenges.
