it allows you to write graphics code in a backend-independent manner (supporting vulkan and metal for example), looking a little closer, it looks like a nice level of abstraction over various rendering backends π
ok, then (depending on what kind of consulting you do though) you should know that operating and migrating such a services is a big challenge?
i'm not even sure what we're debating: twitter is incurring a lot of hosting charges, and they're trying to mitigate that...
while twitter as a concept is a pretty simple platform, scaling, load balancing, etc a service with hundreds of millions of users is pretty complicated
i don't really understand how you can be so confident while knowing nothing or very little about running such an insanely complicated platform as twitter
can he actually pay twitter's bills? like, i really don't know whether he can just directly pay them, corporations aren't structured like a weekend market
and even if he could, i'm not sure if it would be sustainable (1bn usd hosting bill sounds very substantial)
do you have access to their financial reports? otherwise how can one make such claims wrt to profitability (which is the issue at hand)
like, i kinda see it wrt the whole blue checkmark fiasco, but the issue with profitability goes much deeper than that, both in terms of time (during which this problem existed) and design (how much is it embedded into twitter as an application)
