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.

I wonder what cloud service will they move to if they stiff Google. They had earlier refused to pay their AWS bills, lol https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/twitter-refused-to-pay-aws-bill-so-amazon-refused-to-pay-for-ads/ OCI? Azure? IBM Cloud? Some other player?
Any experience with this team? Particularly any one interviewed with this team? If so, what’s the process like?
Elon keeps saying they might go bankrupt. Looks like Twitter has empires of infrastructure teams. Why not switch to aws/gcp, fire the infra teams and ask aws/gcp to take shares instead of cash for the bills Just the marketing Elon gives is worth the cost for the cloud players. Then there is no c...Read more
Amazon is trying to compete with SpaceX and Tesla, and Elon is no fan of Bezos. Where will he move Twitter's infrastructure dollars?
Why do the Google competitors, people who compete with them for ad dollars, use GCP? You would think they would want to use anyone but Google. Just like Walmart doesn't want to fund their competitor, Amazon, by using their cloud services. It isn't the tech. Most of these guys just buy boat loads of ...Read more

Salary data on Paysa is kinda outdated and so is Blind search. I was wondering how much Box, Twitter and Apple pay a Senior Software Engineer with 5.5 years experience in distributed systems/cloud?
Hello blind, Everyone is focused on twitter layoffs, but clearly the service can't operate with only 50% personnel. Take any cloud service - it is impossible that 50% of people are useless. So, my prediction - twitter will aggressively hire back, maybe not 50% but close to that.
He has stopped paying his Cloud bills. He hasn’t paid rent. He asks his H1 slaves to bring their own toilet paper. Free speech ain’t cheap yo. https://www.reuters.com/technology/twitter-is-refusing-pay-its-google-cloud-bills-platformer-2023-06-10/ TC: peanuts
