Sorry I meant architecture in a wholistic sense - all the systems, processes, organisation, etc. and businesses generally.
Aah - of course. I guess while you're changing the direction of that kind of stuff the last thing you want is any actual problems with the widgets - you just want that to keep running without attention for a while. Whoops!
The numbers are ridiculous. Aware that they're probably reported with some degree of inaccuracy, but there were 7,500. He fired about half so 3,750 left. Then (again from what I've read) 80% of those have chosen not to be hardcore, so there's 750 left.
I can't believe it'll be able to keep running with 10% of the engineers it had a few weeks ago.

How much of that 750 are actual engineers vs reception, HR, finance etc. How many are the high skilled highly paid people who feel that they are very transferable in the jobs market and how many are junior assistant level people who wake up in fear of not being able to pay the rent. At that level of attrition there really could be no-one left who can keep the lights on.

But yeah the general point stands. Although I guess it would be interesting to do a compare and contrast with some old school case studies - as I can imagine there are some similarities between the "excesses" in modern tech cos compared to companies of the past with final salary pension schemes and strong unions.
