I agree with you, but even if they quit, I'm not sure there is a much certainty. From what I've read, no severance agreement was prepared for employees to review, so there is some question about the terms of severance. It's

That seems hard to manage if you have data upgrades. For example, a new version adds new data fields, obsoleting old ones. If you don't renew, you have to revert to a version from 12 months ago? That version doesn't support the

A good SF accountant can probably walk you through this if you don't want to go the more expensive lawyer route. If a lawyer is needed, an accountant will be able to tell you that. Not a lawyer or accountant, but for $3000 in income,

A guy at my gym was on one of these, it stopped suddenly and threw him. He broke his pelvis and is still rehabbing a month later, probably a couple months left to go. Guess he's "lucky" he didn't die.

I'd do it in a heartbeat if they paid the 3 months severance upfront. But the way things are going, Twitter might not be around in 3 months to pay monthly severance, and I'm guessing if Twitter files for bankruptcy, there goes yo

I read on another thread that a lot of these contractors don't know if they are going to be paid, because the Twitter employees authorizing their time cards are no longer employed. What a shitshow!

I'm guessing Twitter is a highly distributed system, so of course it's doing a bunch of poorly batched RPCs. That's more or less the definition of a highly distributed system, where all the data can't be stored in 1 pla
