I would obviously not want to work in such an environment, but. Given that he fired so many people, yet the site is working unchanged and works exactly the same as before, maybe he’s not that crazy?

I can log in to the website and see no difference; nothing is obviously broken. Maybe he’s right and most people were doing nothing? I don’t know.

the irony is the firings pulling eyeballs and interactions to Twitter, which increases load, which nobody works to handle anymore

Do you really believe they handle your login manually? That's kinda cute. :)

I think what he means is that, things are basically on hold there and nothing has broken yet.

So I think his point his kinda valid, Twitter doesn't need that much employees to work as expected. It's possibly a very low maintenance platform that can go for days without the need of any sort of maintenance.

I have chosen to turn off the ventilation in this coal shaft, we are all breathing just fine so it obviously wasn't necessary.
