Re:So how is X still working after so many people fired year... by codingdave on Sunday December 31, 2023 @07:00AM (#38823464)
I have zero internal knowledge, so this is all just speculation, but a few things are possible:

1) They really were over-staffed.

2) The people who remain have simplified it to match the new staffing.

3) The system was stable enough to not need constant interventions and updates, so it keeps on running... but the people still hope nothing breaks because they have no idea how to handle a true emergency, and it is just a matter of time until they are truly hosed.

I think all 3 points are true and valid. #3 is the final consequence (which is already happening, Twitter is much less stable than before).
