Complex internet services fail in interesting ways as they grow in size and complexity. Twitter’s recent issues show how failures emerge slowly over time as relationships between components degrade. Meta’s quick launch of Threads demonstrates how platform investments can compound over time, allowing them to quickly build on existing infrastructure and expertise. While layoffs may be needed, companies must be strategic to maintain what matters most - the ability to navigate complex systems and deliver value. Twitter’s inability to ship new features shows they have lost this expertise, while Threads may out-execute them due to Meta’s platform advantages. The case of Twitter and Threads provides a lesson for companies on who they want to be during times of optimization.

    Because OP posted about a business lesson.

    It only “hypes up” Meta by using it as a contrast to demonstrate how Elon shat the bed.

    Maybe stop calling it a shitty take? You clearly don’t understand it.

    I don’t want to fight though, I won’t be responding here again.
