Will Twitter Infrastructure Go Down?

1. I've been enjoying your vids, very helpful to my switch to LInux. But this…. you're saying "the only jobs worth keeping are the ones I've very knowledgeable about." There's an error in that thinking, can you spot it?

2. This age well. Haha. poser.

3. you just became another woke youtuber hating on elon

4. This aged very poorly, lolz.

5. Nope more active users and still up

6. Elon only cares about the politics of legacy engineers and purging all the liberal engineers because I guess supporting legacy systems is easy for social conservatives.

7. God I hope so

8. My god! Twitter is worse than I thought and the are screwed

9. Why? Why? Why does everything have to be so God damn complicated? Because we're human and know it all!!! Good luck with that. I apologize for any rude language and do appreciate all the men and women who take care of these systems. I am an electrician of 21 years and have worked in a few data centers and know the struggles. I recently enrolled in micro electro mechanical systems at college so let's see how much this human brain can handle!!😁 Let's do this baby!!!

10. So Elon was right the system sucked

11. It’s strange because people have started many different things in their garage (or something) and it makes no sense for me that you would not be able to build a viable competitor of Twitter with only 44B (B with a B as in 44B) or at least you know if you just want to help a failed president express himself just buy TruthSocial… it can’t be a potential failure of 44B… if Trump’s TruthSocial worth more than 44M (M with a M as 44M) I would be happy to see it’s tax returns (for the company)… 😅

12. I thought you meant drinking coffee ☕️ 😅

13. Knowing nothing about this but taking you at your word and opinion, what is the solution other than buy more ducktape? What is the system that provides performance, scalability and security? Do you build a parallel platform and then transition over?

14. I would expect that the top engineers left when he told employees to only stay if they would do long hours and intense work. If you have dozens of companies you could work at and get paid well, why would you accept that? He won't have trouble just keeping them; he's going to have trouble getting engineers to replace the ones that have left. The guy has no sense of management. I'm amazed he got so far with Tesla and SpaceX. Part of me thinks he just wants to sink the company but after spending $44 billion on it, it would make no sense.

15. This would be wonderful news. Just imagine a life without Twitter, perhaps the world’s most useless invention

16. Twitter spent a lot of time writing code (maybe that's in puppet) to (somewhat) securely deploy nodes anywhere in the world. Basically the servers keep all code and keys in memory so if someone grabs it there is nothing of value you can get from the server.

17. Well, that might explain the previous owners eagerness to sell.

    Definitely a … fixer-upper.

18. The fired android TT app developer mentioned 10+ yrs "tech debt"…

19. I'm more mechanical than technical in my engineering knowledge.. But this kinda sounds like if you bought a car, then after the purchase learned it has an SUV suspension, an aviation engine, and a marine electrical system. Then the mechanic who helped the orevious owner also moved to another town because they hated you. Good luck.

20. Some crazy copium in this video. If twitter could have gone down, it would have during the world cup. Elon firing all those useless employees will be good for the company in the long run. Right now, it's probably one of the leanest big tech companies post-purge as he retained most of the 10x developers and cut all of the fat. Like a startup in team composition, but with the budget of a big tech firm. It would not surprise me if twitter becomes way better in the coming months.
