Remember the time when Elon Musk fired 80% of Twitter and everyone thought Twitter was going to go down any minute? Remember all the nonsense stories about how it was on a brink of complete collapse (technically) and the service would go down in matter of weeks? Surprise (or not to many including me), nothing like that remotely happened. Instead, the twitter as a service has remained pretty stable throughout, and they’ve actually added features than remove. Now yes it has become a cesspool of right wing shit hole, but its beside the point. Technically the platform has stayed pretty solid and is still catering to scale.
Its a clear example of whats ailing all tech companies these days. All major tech companies over-hired post pandemic only to realize that they don’t need that many people at all. If the likes of amazon, google, msft, or other tech companies were to lay off more than 50% of their work-force, there would be absolutely ZERO impact to any of the products and services owned by these companies. Thats the hard fucking truth that nobody wants to accept, but its true.
