Reply to comment by HappyFunNorm in Twilio to lay off about 1,500 employees, or 17% of its workforce by ChocolateTsar

Twilio is quite big. And does require a ton of engineering. They operate APIs that allow you to intercede with telco systems.

This enables software to be written to obtain phone numbers make calls etc. you can the. Use that to build products and services. They work almost entirely in software. Meaning lots of engineers.

So what you're saying is that they're the bastards who make spoofing for phone scammers a breeze?
