@Timcast Elon fired 99.4% of twitter staff and the site is still running so far Quote Tweet Nick Huber BREAKING: Musk is now running Twitter with less than 50 key employees, down for 7,500 at its peak. “Everything is normal, we may be profitable soon.” He says.

For a site like Twitter? Probably. You don't need a team of thousands of coders to make and maintain what is essentially a forum where people make posts. Especially not if an "algorithm" is what is handling most bans.

Even game development has a max of like, 3-400 and a lot of those get shifted to other teams after development is complete. That's a group of people creating something from (in some cases) nothing.

Twitter is a forum. I wonder how many people are working on the .wins.

Your number of employees shrinks further if you are contracting out your servers to a farm too.

Yeah if they are not having to maintain servers they don’t need as many employees as they had. I wonder what types of folks didn’t quit? Obviously not afraid to do work.

Server farms are notorious for being staffed by very few people. We have a lot of them out here where electricity is only 2.6 cents per kwh. They consume power, but hardly hire anyone and they usually bring those employees from out of town.

Meanwhile the lib.s are trying to tear down all the damns built by our forefathers, cuz fish or something.

Well yes and no. You may not have to deal woth the physical infrastructure but you still have to manage the operating systems. Patching and OS upgrades, security, install and life cycle management. It can be mostly virtual but you still need people to manage all that. Historically they were the same people that would have managed the hardware.

A lot of that is automatable now, and if not, unfortunately, much can be outsourced to India.

Yeah my company just did the India thing. Whatever man. Tell yourself whatever you need to believe. It's fine. I just know the reality on the ground. Indian folk, some of them, are very good. Mostly those make it to the US and upon getting here demand a salary like those who are already here.

I lived in Silicon Valley in the 1980's and am a software developer. I wanted a family and a life, meaning I wanted mostly 40 hour weeks, whereas SV insisted the minimum was 60 hour weeks and asked for 80.

I left SV for that reason.

And I have no sympathy for the Twitter workers as they were abusers both for suppression of Conservative thought, but also of their employers largesse.

Even with mostly automated systems, you do need people to maintain them, even if they live in the cloud. Things go wrong all the time and someone has to go in and intervene. So that being said I do believe he can operate with a skeleton crew, but that would limit the future as no new things can be added. But new things can be for sometime in the future and not now.

Right? A medium town employer who values your skills and needs them will pay you more and let you be true to your own self (family etc) because everyone needs a website nowadays.

As I said in another post though, he has Tesla employees involved in the transition and a massive pool of talent to draw from, so where he may need more people, he can pull them in and train as needed without importing the old Twitter culture.

I suppose that's the thing I left out of this post; more may end up being needed to maintain systems, but by starting from scratch and getting rid of the meditation room safe space types, he can remove that messed up culture and prevent it from tainting new hires.

I actually listed recent MMO expansion numbers, and that does include management and marketing, and also engine developers, so on.

Additionally, processing data is not exactly a manual job. It's automated and the automation is maintained. As long as you have the processing capacity, required LAN and internet speeds and the baseline code (as well as people who know how to modify, add and subtract) most of the initial work is done.

Maintaining a system is very much different than starting a system from scratch, and while I'm being a bit reductionist here for the sake of post size, they certainly didn't need the meditation room safe space types that taint the work culture for new hires.

I'm not sure why I opened your post and it had a downvote, especially since nothing you said is wrong.

Welcome

To The Great Awakening

We are researchers who deal in open-source information, reasoned argument, and dank memes. We do battle in the sphere of ideas and ideas only. We neither need nor condone the use of force in our work here. WE ARE THE PUBLIC FACE OF Q. OUR MISSION IS TO RED-PILL NORMIES.

This is a pro-Q community. Please read and respect our rules below before contributing.

WHY Q?

"Those who cannot understand that we cannot simply start arresting w/o first: ensuring the safety & well-being of the population shifting the narrative removing those in DC through resignation to ensure success defeating ISIS/MS13 to prevent fail-safes freezing assets to remove network-to-network abilities kill off COC to prevent top-down comms/org, etc. etc. should not be participating in discussions." Q

Welcome to the Digital Battlefield - Together We Win

Rules

Q Supporters:
This is The Great Awakening. Our community is international, focused on helping ourselves and others walk away from the programming, and return our governments to "by the people, for the people!"

Follow the Law:
No posts or comments that violate laws in your jurisdiction or the United States. The Feds are always watching!

No Bad Behavior!
No doxing, including revealing personal information of non-public figures, as well as addresses, phone numbers, etc. of public figures. All GAW users must adhere to the highest standards of conduct, whichever .WIN they are on. If we are notified by other moderators of incivil behavior on other .WINs, you WILL be banned here!

Civil Discussion ONLY:
They want you divided.
They want you labeled by race, religion, class, sex, etc.
Divided you are weak [no collective power].
Divided you attack each other and miss the true target [them].

No PAYtriots/No Self Promotion:
Linking or promoting merchandise, fundraising, or spamming personal websites, blogs, or channels is not permitted. Do not attempt to profit from Q or advertise for those who do. Peace is the prize. We do it for free.

Questions and Concerns: All moderation questions and concerns should be submitted via modmail. DO NOT GRIEF the mods.

Expand your thinking:
Remember, this .WIN is the public face of the Great Awakening, and, as a member here, you agree to represent the Great Awakening movement against Globalism, Communism and Progressive Insanity in the best, most positive way possible. NOTE: Your comments and posts may become news. Keep it classy!

This is not a 'fringe conspiracy' site: Topics related to flat earth theory, faked moon landings, and chemtrails are explicitly prohibited on The Great Awakening. Visit https://conspiracies.win if that's your thing!

No doomers, shills, or tards: THIS IS AN ELITE RESEARCH BOARD. If you can't use common sense you'll get banned without hesitation. If you're a shill, you fall under this rule. If you're a doomer, you fall under this rule as you just add garbage to the site like the other two. This includes forum sliding. Q said "We are saving Israel for last," and so are we. And if you're a tard, oh, man.

General Rules:

-Mods used to issue warnings, followed by temporary bans and/or permanent bans. We don't, anymore. DO NOT GRIEF THE MODS.

-Keep posts related to topics Q has raised or that are current. We try to keep an open mind, but... c'mon.

-Keep post duplication (especially from other .WINs) to a minimum. No crap, off-topic memes

-HIGH EFFORT, HIGH-INFO participation only! Please respect other readers' time. Please use descriptive titles. No URLs in titles, pls. No clickbait. Keep your comments high effort. No BS.

-No fame-fagging; no, "your" post did not get removed! Were you the original author?? Eyes on the prize, frogs!

-Memes encouraged, but no low-quality, low-info trash, pls. Excessive, low-effort posting may earn users vacations!

-Keep it honest and accurate.

-Patriots.win / Q Supporters ONLY. (Sorry, this train still has no brakes.)

-Handshake noobs will be scrutinized by their command of Q, sincerity, and respect to others.

Remember, your conduct here represents the Q movement! OUR ENEMIES ARE WATCHING! (Hi, Mike! You LOSER!)
