About this episode

Jay and Ian discuss Twitter's innovative but unrealized projects and a significant bug related to it, while touching on political figures.

Twitter was way ahead of it's time. Jay and I discuss some innovative work (that sadly never got off the ground) Twitter was doing on ephemeral environments back in the day. We also talk about a $200K bug that spawned that work. Also, we try not to kink shame Donald Trump and/or Dan Scavino. Elon Musk still sucks.
