Twitter Suffers hours-long outage after cutting staff

Any global service has pockets of outage sooner or later. I hate Musk and Twitter and would love to gloat over a dumpster fire, but the truth is that if its fully distributed, runs in a DC, has anycast IP or some kind of CDN front, then its normal to have pockets of users disconnected.<p>Sharding models can mean the users can be widely distributed: I&#x27;ve had service outage for my google experiences and the guy next to me nothing: its not always about where you are, but who you are, how they shard things.<p>So whilst I hope this is &quot;serves them right&quot; I also think &quot;normal&quot;

Seems like it took a bit longer then anticipated but is this the predicted outage from staff cuts? Also seems to be tied to a new feature being rolled out, but could be PR white washing.
