While I would love to see Twitter auguring straight into the ground, Twitter’s API changes would explain some portion of this traffic changes. I wonder if there are any other proxy measures for audience engagement as separate from basic traffic

Even more concerning is all the upvotes. That means somebody’s not only posting bullshit, they’re running bots here too

Does anybody have insight into the design choice away from named arguments? Everything in the article and in the comments seems like different levels of kludge around an unfortunate decision

+1. I haven’t used Twilio much, but I was impressed with the ease of use and onboarding when I used it 5+ years ago

Are you trying to do something programmatic with thousands of calls, or just engineer your own bespoke stuff? Seconding AWS SNS for big things. For small projects things, Google Voice at least used to be free or cheap and let you treat phone communications much more like emails than a standard phone number does.
