Before Musk jumped in there was a decent design culture with a lot of talent.
Musk fired most of the design squad and killed the culture.
Does this pose a security risk? #twitter

Any Twitter folks who were part of Elon's Twitter architecture review? If yes, what did you make of Elon?
I have an interview coming up with HashiCorp. One of the topics focuses on systems and architecture. What should i study for this section? Basic overall architecture videos like “how to create twitter”?
That’s a system architecture / system design diagram on the whiteboard. Can someone still at Twitter confirm if he reviewed any code?
I have two system design interviews coming up over the next month. One with twitter and one with facebook. I've never done a SDI. I've looked over Grokking the System Design Interview and I wonder if most of what it's talking about would ever be expected of a iOS Developer. I know someone that inte...Read more

Any recommendations on what to expect or tips to prepare? Twitter is only three rounds - coding, behavioral, and system design. Is behavioral just a typical STAR format behavioral interview? Will coding be LC hards or meds? Robinhood is coding, sys design, architecture (domain spec) and behavioral...Read more
Apparently several years ago Twitter tried “monorepo” architecture… But on regular git. Because of their large codebase, and the fact that Git is not built for this at all, “git status” and “git log” would apparently take 5 minutes to run. They threw engineers at it for months but still Git was so...Read more
Elon burned old Twitter to the ground and is now rebuilding it one piece at a time as he understands why it existed in the first place. He banned Kanye finally to prevent advertisers from leaving and maybe pushback from EU. Free speech absolutist FTW. This feels very similar to when some new rockst...Read more
Almost anyone that studied grokking would know that twitter and instagram seems to do a combination of fanout and polling(famous people). Does a TikTok architecture do the same thing when a video is uploaded by someone? #bytedance #tiktok #systemdesin

Many times during a system design interview you are asked how is facebook, twitter etc designed. If you have studied the actual design do you reveal that to the interviewer? If you describe the exact same architecture as on the company blog I guess the interviewer will know#engineering #software #in...Read more
