> I remember people exclaiming 'musk is right, Twitter doesn't need 1000s of developers' only for Twitter to start failing a lot of regulatory and abuse vector edge cases shortly after their layoffs. It's no good judging business needs based on a basic garage implementation of Twitter. The real world and a few billion users makes for an entirely different set of problems.

It's strange this is the lesson you took from Twitter. Twitter fired 90% of their developers, and almost nothing changed. Twitter is a site that exists in the real world, at scale. People don't even talk about the fact that Twitter fired 90% of their devs anymore, they just began firing devs themselves.
