Yeah definitely not a good sign for Twilio - the tried and true playbook will now get executed once again.

Fire a bunch of people, especially those that are most tenured and have the highest salaries.

Raise prices each quarter to achieve revenue growth with the assumption that customers are more inelastic than suspected and won't leave.

Doubtful that any smart acquisitions will occur, given that requires an actual understanding of product, customers, and markets.

The beginning of the end until some larger corporation, looking to grow their revenue base decides to acquire them.

End of an era for sure.

That's already done

Not even close to enough. Look at the growth of revenue and headcount. It is clear another huge cut has to be made.
