Twitter in chaos as employees accept Musk’s invitation to quit their jobs

I've always wanted to work for Musk, but never felt like I was skilled enough to work on spaceships or cars... But Twitter? I am thinking about applying, so go ahead and quit.

Interesting that none of these twitter articles are making it to the front page.

That's one way to look at it.

Another way to look at it is: Too many are making it.

I suspect the challenges in running a scalable distributed realtime system like Twitter are fairly significant. And while I don't know how much of Twitter's operating expenses are attributable to the efficiency of that platform, if the new CEO wants to keep expenses lower than revenue, they would potentially be very concerned about how to make that platform efficient, which probably has some really interesting systems engineering challenges.

Bizarre. You want to work for him no matter what project?
