Your point notwithstanding, Twitter was originally built by a two person team over couple of weeks.

They built a prototype (probably in Rails, lol). Thousands of people built Twitter, including many who have never written a line of code in their lives.

That's interesting, but two people over a couple of weeks isn't the same as one person claiming they could build it over one weekend.
