elon fired > half the company. site runs reasonably well. personally havent seen issues.
main question is what these people did.
and being in big tech seen this up close. original leadership leave, replace by professional managers. Professional manager have no vision or care about product. only goal to grow head count..get promoted.
amazes me why so many people triggered by musk firing half company. class of worker producing no economic value but paid hundreds of thousands USD per year..catered food.. it massive GRIFT. business is business, not charity.
if this really happening then musk right to fire engineers.
from me time at google and amazon - most critical services operate independently..not requiring entire teams to operate. just need 1-2 engineer on call.
for most part of traffic spike then auto scaling solution in place to add compute capacity.
service never should be brittle.
Twitter case very interesting. practically no major feature work in 5 year.
me best guess Twitter may have issue now because they pushing feature under musk. as he said himself expect issues to happen.
but all these people crying Twitter demise are like clowns. musk ripped band aid off the massive grift..people paid $350k+ a year to not do much productive work.
Instead engagement with my posts has increased, accounts I like are back, and it’s easier to see a timeline view now.
I have never heard this before. It seems very unlikely and given you seem to have some personal issue with Musk I’m unlikely to believe it unless you provide a source.
So yes, there are lifestyle adjustments: kids move to a state school, downsize car and house: but you own that downsize outright, and you made bank in your IRA equivalent to 10 years at average income.
You could sustain a year of job hunting and not have a problem.
Of course if you spent all that income, you also might not be able to. And the tail cost of tax on vesting could hurt. Mostly this is hurt to self esteem if you frame it that way.
I'm not a FAANG. I have a story about partners at a conference swapping life issues, one was concerned which of the two Tesla (the x or the matching his n hers x) they should keep...
Speaking as an old geezer - I see a whole lotta people, even older ones, who never really "get" that other people don't share their worldview / emotions / etc. I've had seemingly bright, educated grandparents proclaim to me that they can't believe that anyone would ever do X...just 20 minutes after they told me a story about their own grandkid doing X.
There are far more worse places and companies than the blue bird site. I don't see techies here rushing to work for the government or being a retail worker at Walmart or Amazon.
> With such deep cuts, I'd have expected even more serious outages than what we've seen so far.
Well despite the 'news' suggesting that Twitter will totally collapse in the coming weeks (spoiler: It did not) over 200M+ users are still sitting on Twitter.
This is false. What actually happened:
> “I have more than 100 million followers, and I’m only getting tens of thousands of impressions,” Musk reportedly said.
An employee tried to claim this figure was organic (which is obviously fantastical) and was rightfully fired.
Now theLoon wants every customer's warranty card to include a paean to his genius. Well, if it was the 1990's.
I am a little bit surprised I am still able to "block" the Musk account on Twitter.
