Guess many don't think it's gonna turn on in the morning?

Question for you it people- how many people does it take to run such a website?

Elon has thrown down the gauntlet and some code typers think resigning will bring Twitter to a grinding halt.

Essentially, Musk told employees to prepare to go hard and if they can't, to quit

Many are saying the vast majority quit, including entire teams of engineers. Hopeful lefty twitter users presume Twitter cannot continue functioning. I'm pretty ignorant on what a Twitter engineer would do, so, how many people are actually needed to keep Twitter at status quo?

It's just a bunch of idiots that don't know how anything works anymore.

Twitter isn't in a data center that needs constant people on site, and even if it was it wouldn't need constant work.

Twitter is in AWS. The likelihood of an outage is very low. They'll just stop making changes for a while and be fine.

It doesn't seem like the girl who posted that "day in the life of a twitter employee" video back when the old management ran things is going to make the cut. I'm sure she's already been cut though.

Twitter employees are a bunch of crybabies. Good riddance. Whenever you take over a small business you run into stuff like this. I am amazed the corporate lemmings have gotten this bad. They are so entitled, aren't they?

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

Musk is no dummy. He's clearing out the fluff and finding out who really wants to work. He changing the culture and discovering who will be loyal. He knows exactly what he's doing.

Hopefully they'll also hold their breaths until Musk gives in.

People need to realize Musk has the ability to slow Twitter to a halt, retool and build it up again, and that's what he'll do. Not many people like that in this world.

Elon is the dumbest rich guy, who would spend 44 billion on a stupid website that doesn't generate revenue to hold its valuation. A lot of engineers maybe lefties but they kept that site running. Will be fun to watch it crash and burn, horrible site

I couldn't care less about Twitter but we have to give Elon at least some credit for the ongoing conversation about how cozy government and big tech have become in their efforts to control the narrative. His very public episode in buying them has been and likely will continue to be revealing about just how hard those two work to suppress unapproved speech.
The federal government was never meant to be this powerful.

Seriously, what does a Twitter engineer do and how many would it take to keep it running?

10? 100? 1000?

And I love all you dumbass boomers who think people should be full time in the office, minimum 60 hours a week. They aren't a design studio all they do is maintain servers and data. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot


Not a boomer and here to admit I know nothing about the operation of Twitter and what it takes to run it.

That's why I'm asking.

Twitter was fine the way it was being run on the operations side. Don't fix something that isn't broke, supposedly 75% of devs quit. They can go work somewhere else for better pay/remote work. Elon wants to turn it into Tesla corp culture which doesn't fit twitters business model

Okay. I agree. Those that left/are leaving can find other jobs.

But, what would it take to just maintain the status quo while they rebuild it into what Musk wants?

Are the 25% that are remaining enough? How many of those developers were dead weight?

He's just separating the wheat from the chaff.

Once he gets it down to those who want to be there, it won't be so bad. He's just trying to scare the flakes off.

If I had FU money, I would be happy to lose 44 Billion to insure something that was so important in the constitution that it was placed FIRST.
