I'd bet every penny I have that most corporations in operation today could do the same thing and run even better. The entire concept of "middle management" is some unique kind of stupid that MBA retards fell for several decades ago. Corporations have been dumbed down and caused to falter by how much padding of the payrolls they are carrying. If you only look at "charitable" or "research" corporations you'd find you need exactly 0% of the current employees.
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.
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.
