I remember reading comments on how the site still fine after firing so many people. "What do they do".
People fail to understand that large projects have inertia. He could have shuttered all twitter offices, fired all employees, and only paid the server bills, and the website would probably continue to function just fine for a few months.
But as a devops/SRE, this whole saga has been awesome to watch
