#3Seems to be following firmly in the footsteps of Elon - starts working at twitter, makes big claims (I'm going to fix twitter search), immediately shows he's out of his depth (Asks for other people to fix twitter search and send him the code MIT licensed) and then gets angry at everyone else when they laugh at this absurd turn of events, gets so angry he then starts bad mouthing the last decade of innovation in the tech industry, fully in the knowledge that time period covers the entire time period his own company operated. It's like our own mini-Elon.

I mean, I know he's a bit of an odd character and a showman, but do you actually think he's that "out of his depth" that he's desperately trying to crib other people's code? He's accomplished some pretty impressive things in a pretty short career – for now I would take him at face value re: asking for code as a clever recruiting strategy.

It clearly isn't a recruiting strategy. He is not a decision maker in hiring, claims to know nothing about it, beyond being able to make referrals:
