I don't know who this is, but the following isn't about them or their story but the format which I tried to and failed to follow.

1/I'm sorry I couldn't finish it,

2/let alone refresh enough times to get all the content to load without error.

3/Disseminating that much continuous information in that format is atrocious.

4/I'll post a lot of stuff, but it will be so spread out that you won't know

5/If I made any good points or not

6/But the sheer barrage of noise will convince you I know what I am talking about

7/???

8/Profit!

Couldn't finish it either. I thought that maybe there would have been commentary after a few of the tweets, but the format is bad.

I did see a few good points (Fullstack helps you understand legacy practices and why things were the way they had been..), but a lot was definitely lost in all the noise.

Yeah F this, I'm not going to bother reading this if they can't bother composing it in a coherent way. Whatever it is, certainly isn't important enough for me to bother.
I don't know why people do this. I guess it gives off the feeling of it being very important like they are rushed and HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS RIGHT NOW.

But it's not shareable unless you're going to retweet 40+ tweets (are people doing this?). You have to wait for someone else to collect your thoughts for you.

And at the same time it isn't as permanent as actually taking the time to write a blog post so it's easy to retract later.
