Basic firefighting often revolves around the same set of problems. It's not that naive. Tell me I'm wrong? I work with systems like this. Realistically most problems that show up by themselves (ie not caused by bad code) often have very common mitigations/remedies. There's surely some super complex interaction going on but bugs showing up of this complex nature are usually due to code changes, or scaling events that reach a tipping point. Odds are those aren't the bread and butter of problems faced by Twitter _right now_.

Well that goes the first assumption.

Such as having applications running without restarts for a long time due to deploy freezes?

Right now, exactly this moment, probably not. But if those were the only worrying events that could happen in the short term, I doubt anyone would need to offer any help to Twitter.

Well, Musk has said that he wants to do "hardcore engineering" implying there will be a lot of changes coming up. That surely can't go wrong.
The World Cup is starting Sunday. That usually would be an all hands on decks event at least ops wise, but there are very few hands left and the door to the deck is closed anyway...
