With product development it's not about having "enough people" to do everything, it's about having the right priorities and choosing what to focus on.

We could discuss if this feature should have been prioritised or not, but claiming that Twitter is this little understaffed company that cannot be expected to implement something like that is a bit disingenuous.

You’ve misinterpreted what I said. I didn’t make a positive assertion that it was impossible for twitter to pick this up. I merely disagreed with the comparison with Facebook. The GP pointed out that Facebook could do it while Twitter couldn’t. I pointed out that sure, Facebook did it but they also have 9X the number of employees so it’s not a fair comparison.
