Curious if there's any good examples of firms in the past that laid off 90% of its staff and survived before?
@Pwnallthethings is it really 90%? kind of amazing twitter is still up.
@ChrisO_wiki @herid @Pwnallthethings welcome aboard.
@herid @Pwnallthethings 85, 88% give or take
@herid @Pwnallthethings it will run fine until there is some odd quirk or tribal knowledge that comes up. I worked at a place that cycled servers behind HA proxy because of a memory leak issue. I’m sure there is some bug that a core team only knows how to deal with and prevent.
@wompy @Pwnallthethings yes, but it's surprising to me this hasn't happened yet.
@herid @Pwnallthethings give it a couple weeks, unless heavy surge of activity or push of new code happens before then.
@Pwnallthethings @herid oh I think left Monday to be a chaotic mess. World Cup traffic and leak of potential new features to follow it?
I for one welcome the fail whales return.
@wompy @herid @Pwnallthethings Can totally back this up; I've also been in places where a change that doesn't take effect until reboot can be lurking for MONTHS afterwards, a reboot happens... BOOM. Those are damnably hard to figure out if the person isn't there and it was never doc'd.
@herid @Pwnallthethings oh, wait fir the first goal. World cup starts Sunday. Elmo did not get that much traffic, his claims to the contrary, during election night…cause news twitter already mostly migrated
@herid @Pwnallthethings The figure I saw was 88%. https://twitter.com/kyliebytes/status/1593395225371688960?t=lbT0W-gCIzlEOd41-WcOdQ&s=19
