Obviously a company the size of Twitter can't actually increase profit by $20B/yr from cost cutting, but the relative return of having a few people work on cost savings dwarfs what almost any other kind of engineer can do reliably.

$10M/yr is actually a very conservative estimate for what an eng could do at Twitter — I think $100M/yr/yr would be par for 1 FTE and some people did much more, but the company mostly only managed to do this because people did the work in opposition to leadership.
