    It’s by hiring some full stack developers. Even now, it’s possible to make something like Twitter, just like how Meta released Thread.

    It is complicated if you do not know how it’s built, it is an impressive feat to get to that level of Twitter even though twitter is a genuine joke, Resources, A King cant build a castle without resources, you need architects, builders, trees, stone, iron, it is built with resources, its too complicated to explain as its way too vast but its resources and organization that makes things work.
