Jack seems to think they grew too quickly but what would he know?

Jack seems to think (and say) whatever is good for jack. In this case to peddle his new social network
Not much. He spent all of his time running Square, and there are only so many hours in the day, which is why Twitter was languishing on the vine until this bit of excitement happened.
I was at Square from 2011 - 2017 and talked to Jack pretty often, including about how he managed his time. And his calendar was public.

When I was at Square and Jack was also working at Twitter, he split his days evenly across both companies.

At Square we were frustrated he wasn’t spending enough time on us.

I don’t know what it was like after mid 2017.

Speaking of vine I wonder if the skeleton vine maintenance crew got the boot.
"Grew too quickly" does not imply that Twitter currently has too many engineers, only that they did at some point in the past.
