The incompetence shown by Agrawal is fucking criminal and insane! Having a Background in IT and Operations, Its a wonder that Twatter even worked as well as it did. The Major Incidents that that place churned out would have made me believe in heavy day drinking and hitting up my local pot shop on the hour!
I'm picturing this one guy they locked in the control room who actually kept everything running. They'd throw food and Mountain Dew at him to keep him going and never let him out. He's probably still there, somewhere, maybe hiding under the floorboards of the control room, the unsung hero of Twitter.
the reality was, 50% of the tens of thousands of employees had access to modify and push code whenever they felt like it, and a room of about a dozen real engineers working around the clock to fix everything and keep it running in the conditions you outlined.
