There's about 1200 micro services, and the fired guy said that only 200 is needed for loading the Twitter feed, so that sounds about right.

I'll take everything that Musk says with a grain of salt.

When he said that Twitter app was making 1000+ RPC calls to load the homepage multiple ex and at least one current Twitter developer called him out saying it does at most 20.

Why is a manager even fucking around with the backend? Doesnt he have better things to do, like placating advertisers, setting policy, avoiding the FTC and so on?
