I bet if you never thought about Twitter again, you'd be just fine.

There is no 9-9-6 culture shift, there is no value shift in software engineers across the country, there is no need to build a Twitter competitor, none of this actually matters.

The half billion monthly active users and $5B annual revenue beg to differ. And it trickles down in the form of paychecks — does that matter?

The world will move on.

What an impotent philosophy. The world moves on from everything. Why bother stalking hacker news if this is not the sort of thing that interests you?

More like a recognition that in a macroeconomic sense, Twitter really does not matter. In a cultural sense, we are better off without.

This forum is about satisfying intellectual curiosity, not chasing the bag.

No, it doesn't matter. Twitter is unimportant to this world.
