This has been solved many times, many years ago. It's not a hard problem. A one step scaling plan would be "write it properly this time".

Of course. But there are solid examples from web1.0 and before that did more than twitter, and scaled to more users. Twitter is pretty simple in terms of functionality.

climbing Mt Everest/K2 has been done many times already, but it's still hard; and not something taken lightly

I just don't like gloating on someone else's mistakes and failures (essentially kicking someone who's already on the ground), especially when I'll probably have my own set of spectacular f-ups to deal with related to my own startup
