Keep in mind that Twitter engineers are under extreme pressure, knowing that their H1B visas are at stake, to implement Elon’s whims as quickly as possible on systems they’re unfamiliar with. I doubt many of us would perform better in their situation.

Do you know how many current Twitter engineers are on H1B? Is this based on some data, or just speculation?

This kind of stuff is unavoidable with what's going on at Twitter. Infrastructure changes, platform changes and mass layoffs all at once. I'm actually impressed they haven't experienced more and longer outages.

> Where do you all get your info lately? How do you stay informed? I really don't know how to get a wide swath of information anymore with Twitter and Reddit gone

News sites reddit and twitter source stuff from... Or pick your favorite aggregator.

Sometimes Discord/Matrix and blogs are good for really niche topics.
