I've been saying this for almost 2 years now. A reckoning is coming in the tech industry not unlike 2000. Wayyyy to many bootcamp coders getting uppity when they aren't collecting a $200k paycheck. When a 'professional linkedin recruiter' reaches out to me, all I can think of are the $100k HTML developers who were let go in 2001. History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme.

Can Twitter run on 200 devs? Probably. Maybe even 20. Can Twitter run on the 200 devs they have and thrive? Don't know, but it won't be easy. Can Twitter run without manual content management? Not long term. Can Twitter run on subscription alone? No. Will Elon Musk ruin his mystique? Already has. Are these questions related? Yes.
