- When you fire a lot of engineers, legal, security experts... things will still somehow keep working - Also some people still want to keep working at this place (or must, because of VISA etc); It probably happens all the time, just this time everyone was watching it in full motion. - I was sure this whole takeover was the end of twitter, but somehow with how many users twitter has, it just won't die. Goes to show the advantages of the mass.. probably the same applies to microsoft/google.. - The whole 8$ for a checkmark story.. which destroyed the whole trust in the checkmark basically immediately. The whole verification process (how that worked) - many people shared some insights on that and how much effort it was to fine-tune all of that with the scale of twitter. - The free API just being shut down with basically zero communication to devs. and somehow getting away with it. I guess this is a reoccuring theme in tech that a small company has to be open for developers until it's big enough to turn on them. - With the reduced engineering and the new management, it seems more errors slip into production (and incidents like the one now) - or maybe it just feels like it with all the focus on twitter right now - but anyways, you just see things breaking you normally would not expect to see.. - How people are communicating, or in this case not communicating.

I'm probably not the ideal person to write this down, there was so much stuff going on, some people probably made a whole blog-article series on this. This is just a few of the things that I'm able to remember right now.. and with everything on hn here it gives you some ideas and things to think about. Hope that Helps.
