This isn't shocking - Twitter was notorious for being held together with Scotch tape technically.

Honestly this hands-on approach is an impressive example of doing things that don't scale.

Just wondering how is engineering stack at Twitter now? Is it still bandaging things like everyone is talking about here (in Rails days) or they have matured to good engineering practices. Interested, as I was considering applying for engineering job there.

The fail whale image was retired over 4 years ago now because it almost never showed up anymore. That should tell you enough.
