I’m not being a dick - I genuinely can’t tell if this is parody or not and so I find it quite exciting.

The idea of geohot pulling a 12-week “internship” to “optimise Twitter” to spite the hordes of “virtue signallers” is so hilariously self-referential and Pythonesque it’s fantastic.



Indeed, I hope it's really witty sarcasm, rather than seriously thinking that there's actually a single 10x engineer out there that will come in and optimize the shit out of Twitter.

They could write an entire Silicon Valley season out of this prompt.



I think it would take 12 weeks just to find out where the tech debt is.


He isn't pulling an internship to spite the virtue signalers, he is doing it because he believes in the product and its purpose.

The point was that anyone who is calling Twitter dead is virtue signaling.
