      1. Remember when one person made the best twitter apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac at the same time? Then they sold to Twitter and someone else built the same but this time with two people. I wonder how many iOS engineers twitter has, backed by how many PMs and designers. suyash/1181282240279375872
