Scoop from Twitter: small things are breaking, not enough engineers to fix them

So internet's tell me Twitter claimed 273M daily monetisable users, seems at peak.

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?

“ 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.
