These articles are fun. Just don't take them too serious. On the one hand, the place is on fire, on the other, some newb can do the job of 20 people.

"Twitter's layoffs have resulted in an extensive reorganization of remaining workers, the engineer told the BBC. He said that one "totally new" staff member without expertise was now doing a job that used to be done by more than 20 people. The New York Times previously reported that some junior employees have been left in charge of areas they haven't worked on before."
