Elon was and remains right. Cuts are necessary. You can easily cut 80% of your staff with no major harm to the business as an ongoing concern. Twitter is humming along and has new features at a rate not seen in years. Which begs the question, wtf were people doing at Twitter before? I can guarant...Read more
By the title, I mean a company that can offer decent TC and still provide job guarantee during recession.

Why isn’t anyone calling out the obvious and blaming twitter for selling? They knew what Elon would do, so why sell if they cared so much about the people who ran the company? Just not making sense to me. It’s unfortunate and I feel for everyone effected by layoffs, but Elon is making business dec...Read more

That projection makes the current $3.4 billion total revenue estimate for 2023 appear especially stark. Joe B...Read more
I'm an engineer, I have never understood business much. That being said, I cannot for the life of me understand how Twitter is worth the $44B that Musk paid for it. Can someone explain to me how Twitter is worth this much money? tc 250k

Lucky I left Twitter a few months ago already, but to be honest, knowing what I know…. “Acquire, take a look, stop everything, prioritize, set a quick business plan, take the best team to execute it, get a list of which teams are really needed to keep the lights on, fire the rest, profit” So many ...Read more

Managers in tech, let's be mindful of the language we use in meetings. Labeling a meeting as "Business updates" or "Business priorities" can create unnecessary stress for the team, especially if layoffs are not on the agenda. Let's aim for clear and concise communication to promote a positive and pr...Read more

So I just realized snap market capital is almost double twitter (100x vs 5x). I know twitter is more popular for general audiences, good engineers with lot of open source, publish a lot if cool research papers, owns mopub etc. Why twitter business seemed to be behind? What’s going on?
Claims to ban political ads and political issue ads. Still allows politicians to promote tweets. The definition of "political issue" is a huge can of worms with unintended consequences like banning Planned Parenthood, Greanpeace, Religious organizations, petroleum companies, green energy companies ...Read more

I know someone that had multiple good offers last year from top companies - Twitter, Apple, TikTok, etc and decided to go to Twitter because of culture and WLB. This is the same experience for m...Read more
