Content DESIGN THINKING! Hello everyone, Twitter here! We're hiring Extremely Hardcore Engineers, so come help us build Twitter 2.0! They also need to be young, have no discernable desire for a personal or social life, have no partners or dependents, have no physical or mental health issues to impede burnout from endless and contradictory requirement pivots and be slavishly and unquestioningly loyal to a sociopathic thin-skinned billionaire narcissist who doesn't understand how to deal with people with any form of decency.. S ODICOMIC DESIGNTHINKINGCOMIC What is an 'Extremely Hardcore Engineer?' I hear you ask. Good question! They're the best of the best! The cream of the crop! Their supreme excellence is really the lowest bar at Twitter 2.0! If this sounds like you, then smash that 'APPLY' button NOW! (that we hope still works because we fired the whole recruitment department yesterday)

That rusted, half-dead computer case is apparently all you need to run Linux. While Windows demands 16GB RAM and a quantum processor just to open a text file, Linux will happily boot on whatever archaeological artifact you've dug up from behind the shed. I've seen production servers running on hardware that belongs in the Smithsonian. That box probably outperforms half the cloud instances people are paying $50/month for. Just slap some Debian on it, SSH in from another continent, and watch it run for 7 years without rebooting.
