Another One Bites the Dust At Twitter

Peter Kafka is breaking the news yet again that another top engineer is leaving the ranks at Twitter. This comes only a day after it was announced Blaine Cook was leaving from leaving on amicable terms. So what the hell is going on over at Twitter?

Fortunately the site has continued to run smoothly over the past couple days but something must have gone wrong in the past couple weeks. Was it a conflict of egos? There’s no telling what went wrong exactly and all we can do is speculate but as far as I’m concerned, Twitter is having some serious issues with keeping their top brass.

Lee Mighdoll, the newest engineer to depart the company came aboard January 8th, less than 5 months ago. Let’s see if Mike Arrington decides to express his personal vendetta against another Twitter engineer today. According to Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter, “After three months, both Lee and Twitter came to the conclusion that the match was not perfect.”

In a letter to Silicon Alley Insider he continued, “We are seeking to fill this role with a refined search criteria that fits with our plan to scale Twitter as a company and as a service.” Good luck Twitter! Looks like Twitter needs to create a more “Googley” environment with world-renowned chefs and all the perks one could ask for.
