What is Twitter even doing? Like I realize they likely have an infinite number of people working for them, but are any of them doing anything important at all? This is not like the usual "I just don't see how a company needs that many people" laments: this is specific to Twitter, as they seem to have at most one engineer working on new features... it took like five years for them to implement "increase size of Tweet to 280 characters", and the only feature of note I can think of since then was adding a half-assed ability to mute replies (which to me is a critical feature that prevents trolls and hate groups from using my audience to spread their hate; but the feature is somehow designed to take a reply that would have maybe been buried in hundreds of people replying to me and "mute" it by giving it a dedicated icon with a pop up dialog reminding people to go look at the content I muted, so in fact more people probably see the thing I muted now than before I muted it... it is ridiculous). Like I frankly feel the decision here is "I guess send all the employees home as it isn't like their productivity could be any lower, right? hell: maybe one of them gets inspired and finally builds something!".
