It is being reported that perhaps approximately at least another 1200 employees resigned from Twitter yesterday. That's from the remaining 3700 after Musk's initial layoffs of about half the initial employees. You can do the math. Musk is now reportedly desperate to learn how the Twitter software stack works.
@lauren oh bless his heart, did he assume the people he fired wrote that s*** down somewhere?!
Design documents are for companies that didn't have to build their way out of the failwhale era.
@mtomczak Irrespective of how much is written down in internal docs, much of the institutional knowledge in these firms is dependent on person to person contact -- and that's completely expected and frankly completely normal with human beings. You work through problems in conjunction with other employees who know more than you do or are experts in areas where you're not. Musk has decimated this. There is no escape.
