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.

It's fine. Very Scala/Java/Mesos heavy. Big company integration problems now instead of startup scaling problems.

They still use some of the distributed storage we built almost a decade ago though.
