I predicted Twitter would be the next unicorn to cut staff and offices ten days ago (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10300002" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10300002</a>). To be honest, I didn&#x27;t think it would happen quite this fast.<p>But 4K employees, 2K engineers to support Twitter? If they were still in a rapid growth&#x2F;innovation phase, perhaps they could get away with this. But rapid growth is over.
