> It's also possible that she's a fictional character (admittedly there isn't enough data proving otherwise).

She does have a Twitter that's been active for a few years, and doesn't give an indication that she has prior programming experience. This would be quite the long con.

I've had a Twitter account for over a year and posted absolutely nothing to it.

I wouldn't say "con", but I do find it implausible someone went from nothing to everything and was making full websites on day 1. I mean I've cranked out some personal web-apps over a weekend, but I usually spend the next week or so "fixing" them, which for me is how I learn - I have the framework of what I want to do, and then I figure out how to add more and more features until it's the streamlined experience I want it to be.

But a ton of that time is just spending hours working out why things are the way they are.

I've had a twitter account since May of 2008 and have less than twenty tweets. It just sits there, aging.
