“ Also, Twitter has been made pretty darn resilient over the years. You can call it good engineering, some will call it overengineering, others resilient engineering.
Point is, it’s built in a way where it doesn’t break easily”
I imagine this ceases to be true if they cut a billion dollars in infrastructure costs.
What sets the number of employees isn’t the number of users, its the amount being spent by competitors trying to pull those users engagement elsewhere.

Divided by 15,000 employed, that's around 18,000 users per employee.
This doesn't seem excessively challenging.
I realise it's not linear, but has anyone tried to run some more relevant basic benchmarks as to what a "right size" twitter staffing number might be?
