The best part about following @fool is you sound like a campy villain when replying to him. Example:

@fool your amateur toots have no effect on me. How dare you test my intelligence?

Coding is wild. It took me four days to build one half of a feature, and then ~24 minutes build the other half.

I'm not sure if these change.org petitions actually work, but I'm very into this one:

Stop Netflix Autoplay Advertisements

Most permutation algorithms rely on the previous permutation to generate the next one. This makes it inefficient to get a specific permutation, like the 100,000th if you don't have the 99,999th.

So I wrote an #algorithm to do it.

Not being trained in computer science, I am unreasonably proud of this.

@mastonaut Hello! Use the app every day and it's great. Thank you for making it. Is this the best place to make feature suggestions? Is there an issue tracker somewhere?

Wait a sec, is Billy Dee Williams' name actually William Williams?

I've been working on an algorithm on and off for 3-4 years and I finally cracked it!

My hobby: using image search to find random bitmoji to send to people instead of making my own

If you can replace the action elements in an action movie and the movie doesn’t change, it’s not really an action movie is it? Same for Christmas movies.

But it happens at Christmas and there’s even a Christmas party, you say. It doesn’t matter. It could be literally any time of year and or any other holiday and the plot would be identical.
