I can't speak to halving the infrastructure support but I know what it looks like when you outsource over half of your infrastructure support and the outsourced support is nearly worthless. It's not good!

I wonder how long an outage or outages would need to be to kill Twitter off?

assuming they pulled source control stats I wonder if it was lines written or lines changed it’d be funny if the top ranked dev was some pedant that kept running some code formatting tool

it’s not so much “build a plane in midair” as “buy a plane while it’s flying, kick half the crew out, and find out how passengers feel re zeppelins vs planes and maybe start dismantling and do a zeppelin type thing instead but yknow cooler”

The thing I can't quite understand about paid DMs is that one of the appeals of Twitter has always been that you could conceivably catch the attention of a famous person *without* needing to pay for the privilege. You can just tag them! I guess a DM would make it more likely that the famous person would see the message, but unless Twitter is paying them to respond, I don't know why they wouldn't just ignore it.

So many dudes gonna be sending their life savings to fake sex worker accounts (already a problem but infinitely worse with paid checkmarks) and inevitably taking it out on the real person.

slow update from me, but one thing that a *good* Scala dev can do (note: I am not one) is write a program in a single line of code; what a bad Scala dev does is write extremely verbose Java
