Future of Coding

Twitter spent $209 million in R&amp;D in Q3 2020 :thinking_face:

200k/engineer (low probably?) is “only” 1k engineers

we could argue what 1k engineers are doing, but the answer is most likely trying to hold the leaky boat that the first 50 put together :slightly_smiling_face:

if only they had $400M, then we’d get an EDIT button :wink:

yeah it doesn’t, nobody’s really solved the eng problems at scale of sharing very small amounts of data at a large volume. unique to twitter!
