> They have thousands of engineers that in the span of a decade don't seem to produce much at all

I have always wondered. Are there "projects" adjascent the core product that I'm not aware of? I can understand the infrastructure side of the work is pretty busy, but feature development and bugfixing don't require that many people even in a fast paced product development phase. What's everyone doing?

Tweeter has released steady slew of new features: https://twitter.com/i/release_notes

People on HN are great at making irresponsible claims and they are the clueless ones. You can bet that thousands of engineers there are very very busy.

Irresponsible is a bit rich, I have no responsibilities owed to twitter. Perhaps ignorant would be fair. I am not exactly floored by those releases compared to the team size, but it does show they're not twiddling their thumbs. As mentioned in another comment, they might be a bit inefficient at the size they are now, and the responsibilities they have to internal operations aren't particularly obvious to outsiders.
