Overall, I think they could have reduced engineering staff in the long term by adopting mainstream open source technologies instead of their own custom (albeit also oss) database/filesystem/streaming system/rpc library/spark stack.
But those migrations would have taken years. Instead, slashing staff that fast is likely to cause slow rot of their ad network, and overall system resiliency.

Can you share the graph of Twitter reliability over years that you plotted to arrive at this conclusion? Thanks.
