Title: Twitter laid off 50% of its staff. Principal and staff engineers made lengthy Twitter threads predicting the collapse of the system given its nuance, complexity, and how their positions were key to its survival. Pundits predicted that the site would likely not survive a few weeks, that there was no fat to trim at the company and all the workers let go were essential for daily operations.<p>Now that it&#x27;s been three months, what happened to the dreary prognosis? Where is the continuous downtime? Where is the permanent feature freeze? Where is the imminent collapse we were told about? I noticed that nobody is talking about how none of those predictions seem to have manifested. Why?
