Said engineer, said 1000 RPC calls are not the issue, and when questioned further on proving a tracepath / perf result casually exited the conversation, to me it looks like they are not ready to do better or listen to valid criticism, leading conversations on semantics is just creating noise instead of acting on signals.
Also 1000 RPC's are a very valid performance bottleneck, 1000 * latency caused by serde+ network can compounds easily based on data locality + container network orchestration, no data was provided otherwise even when asked for.
Clearly these engineers have never done customer feedback for developing nations, twitter interactions clearly provide evidence for what musk said, but some engineers seem to be in denial, imho the firing is cause worthy.

Applied Machine Learning Engineer with 11+ years experience in backend engineering and machine learning.
I have experience in solving for end to end machine learning problems, robust data collection & cleaning, distributed training on GPU clusters, building custom model & training recipes on domain specific problems, model calibration, scalable and low latency inference pipelines in C++ / python (GRPC, k8), monitoring and hard negative mining, Model specific inference optimizations (Quantization, Pruning, Torch Dynamo etc) and have worked on various domain problems like: Search & Ranking, Cold start recommendations, Constraint based optimization, Speech (Speech to text, text to speech), Vision (Segmentation, Classification, OCR), NLP (Doc QA, Classification, Entity Recognition) etc
TBH high levels skills on C++-20 is not what these companies are looking for, instead on C++-14 or so, meanwhile anyone learning C++ in 2022 would rather want to pickup C++-20 ++ with its niceties, old C++ is too tiresome without extra rewards.
Same, "We knew that C++ was harder to scale and maintain high quality as you build a dev team" this just sounds arbitary and a weak excuse to use rust, C++-20 is as scalable as rust with a very rich ecosystem.
August 15th 1971, President Richard Nixon announces that the United States will no longer convert dollars to gold at a fixed value, effectively ending the Bretton Woods system. He also imposes a 90-day freeze on wages, prices and rents.
Meh, trump's gonna whine democrats stole the election, media is constantly talk about him for next 4 years, he will win again in 2024 and nothing is going to change. Meanwhile climate change, economy and social media nonsensence will keep getting worse, why ? because nobody wants to really fight for the little guy.
Op says he has thousands of customers without any proof whatsoever, how does this work in rains ? power outages, what about customer suport, seems like an half baked pitch.
SymSpell port for python using c++-pybind11, is 3x-40x faster than symspellpy the current best symspell port in python and maintains same api structure.
