>They all saw Twitter cut 80% of its staff and yet is still online. Maybe its a bit more complicated than that? If software is built around the business and if the business is no longer changing much maybe they simply don't need as many people around? After all, software can run hands off if you don't mess with it much. IMHO it should be possible for musk to run Twitter singlehandedly all by himself if He has no intention to change anything. It should run fine until it needs something fixed due to a bug, a legal requirement or a partner change(some provider of some service changing something about their service). Its kind of obvious that we are no longer in the age of Internet exploration, things are quite stagnant for some time and you don't need much explorers and sailors to do the same things. Know How is there, tools are mature. The average techie jobs have been automated to great extend, be it through tools they created or AI that can take care of busywork or understand legacy codebase without the need of retaining the people who built it. The interesting things are happening in the AI, robotics and other areas but your average "tech" worker is not equipped to do these things. |

Not sure if this was a Freudian slip, but love the capital "He" here as if Musk is on the same level as God.
