MessageBird lays off 31% of staff

As a former Twilio employee, this is what we used to say, especially back when I started in 2011 when there really weren't many other options, and most of the few other options were not easy to get started on as a solo developer.

I think it's reasonable to say that if you do all of those quoted things, probably some of the texts you've gotten have gone through MessageBird, but certainly not all of them.

Then again, the wording of that is ambiguous enough.. that's what it could have meant, even though it's worded to sound more expansive.

It's not the only ambiguous wording in the post; the math doesn't add up here. It's probably a peak of 254 million/hr.

"during Black Friday processed a whopping 254 million emails every hour and 3.3 billion during the day"
