Genius Musk:
Twitter revenue per employee if 950 instead of 8k : $ 5B rev / 950 employees = $ 3.25m rev per employee in 2021 ( industry leader )

I guarantee, if you posted this exact math on twitter it would get cited by Elmo fans as brilliant business, despite the fact that something may or may not have happened to the twitter revenue between April and now

So on one hand you've got a bunch of very senior technical people saying "shits gonna get real" and on the other you've got recruiters, financial advisors and "self taught infrastructure guys" saying "it's gonna be fine".

I guess the truth is somewhere in the middle.

If it was self-parody because the weird obsessive nature of finding imaginary faults (that only the gullible would believe) in AOC was being called out, it'd be genuinely funny. But that means giving credit to a publication that has hitherto shown as much self-awareness as a pet rock, so.

IT IS MY RIGHT TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL WHEN I'VE PUT BACK SIX SHIRLEY TEMPLES OK

:patriot:
25% API failure rate from a company that size is a BFD for sure. I wrote a middleware solution in python on our Django server my first year as a dev (was for a contest sign up and literally the second time I ever touched python in a prod env) and while it worked it didn't have timing and batching to the database done as well as it could have. I had a 10% failure rate for contest submissions that I updated immediately based on failure notices from the sentry integration. To me, as a junior, green AF dev, 10% failure was unacceptable and I wanted to do better. Fixed the issue next day and verified the 10% in question were processed. I think our current threshold for these failures is either 0.75% or 0.5% and trust me we are way smaller and jankier than Twitter. Well, maybe the same amount of jank now that they lost everyone that knew how to do anything.

If my self-hosted stuff was throwing errors 25% of the time I'd be spending all night troubleshooting it.

No payroll department needed, employees can simply come grovelling to Elon when they need money like Oliver Twist.

To think he could've taken 3-6 months learning the business and figuring out if and where cuts could be made instead of immediately firing loads of people and paying them those 3-6 months anyway while the company implodes

That's not the only possibility! Maybe they tried to update the list and corrupted it, and now have to rebuild it. Or they don't know how to do it quickly and are resorting to manual methods and it'll take a loving weekend to do it. Or they broke something else and everyone's locked out because the building is in lockdown. Or they have no loving clue what's wrong and need the weekend to do a reboot and hope it works in time for Monday. So many ways the New Look Twitter could have hosed this up.
