Can we please recognize that this is a holiday weekend and Elon rammed a big release forcing his engineers to come in and iterate multiple patches over the last 12 hours.

Twitter Engineers have had over a year to get out and find another job. At this point the terms of their employment and the expectations from their boss are all crystal clear. Hard to sympathize with those who continue to stick around for whatever reason.

Someone pointed out that it looks like most of the workers that stayed at Twitter appear to be foreign born and are probably reliant on Twitter's sponsorship of their H1-B visa.

How many Twitter engineers are on H-1B? 10%? 50%? 90%? Unless someone can find this number out for real, why is the default argument "they are all being held captive and cannot leave"? Would you apply the same logic to Tesla and SpaceX, who have the same working conditions? Here's a more reasonable take - engineers believe in the product they are building and are happy with the salary they get.
