One interesting point here. I noticed that Twitter bought a design agency a few months back [1] who themselves claimed to have dozens of employees. It made me wonder. Why would Twitter need dozens of designers on top of the designers they already had? I would have assumed they likely had a 10-20 person design team. One designer and a few managers for the handful of features they have. But then I read a post online that even back in 2014 they had north of 59 designers. And given their growth since then, they likely have hundreds of designers.

As a founder, engineer, and designer myself. I cannot fathom what 100+ designers do all day for an app like Twitter. They have to be working on so much overlap, and busy work.

internal tools need designers too! not to mention their ads platform.

I imagine their content review platform, trust & safety tools, etc all have some designers working on them
