Twitter 1.0 *was* hardcore engineering and more. It was giving your company more than 40 hours a week not because it was expected, but because they treated us like adults, with respect. They gave us a mission and the autonomy and ownership to contribute to it as best we could.

do your thing zookeeper.

I am thankful for those who believed in me before I believed in myself
