I'm a software engineer with an avant-garde mind. @Twitter, @Google alum. Inventor of the edit button on this site; shipped many more things.

This person and his team had nothing to do with that solution and why they were not included in the patent, which funny enough, they also tried to take credit for.. might really need that blog post.

[José Antonio Márquez @joseeight]

Not surprised to see another attempt to claim credit. Might want to check whose names are on the patent before telling that story. Maybe I’ll write a post clearing up that the “edit button” came from my 2018 Hackweek project @paraga chose to ship—not what you “designed.”

TL;DR: Twitter is built on micro-services and has a lot of internal and external third-party dependencies, so editing a Tweet was not really possible, so my idea was based on versioning Tweets, which also solved abuse issues. Featured launched without abuse or pushback.

@nickcald Congrats!

Ran into @maddy_bayer on the street after drinks with @niw because New York is just that random

X Pro is literally the entire roadmap I put together over 2 years ago... not sure what that says about anything.. I also don't think it was going to make money, so intrigued to see what's the plan. Paywall was the fast exit to deprecate old client – not make millions or billions.

That's for sure the best way to ship it. I also still can't delete my account after 6 months of trying. Anyways...

[José Antonio Márquez @joseeight]

Anyone that still works here, mind helping me delete my account? I'm probably in some role for either subscriptions or delegation or from a bunch of other stuff that's preventing me from deleting my account. Thank you.

Well, account deactivation is broken, maybe somebody ping me when it's fixed.

Twitter has meant a lot to me. It changed my life, and I helped change it. It's time to say goodbye as a new chapter begins. I wish everyone still or to be involved nothing but the best. Onwards and upwards.

[José Antonio Márquez @joseeight]

@obwez @wesbos I have no idea, I wish that it fulfills the potential I believe TweetDeck had, but really no thoughts on what will happen.

[José Antonio Márquez @joseeight]

My time here’s is winding down, it was fun while it lasted. I’ll post where I’ll end up, same user name on most networks. 👋🏼

The original TweetDeck 2.0 team reunited 🍻

Devastating news this morning, Bob Costas will be calling the France v England match on Fox. Making matters worse, he’ll likely call the final as well, very sad day for those of us who want a proper announcer calling the games.

@kaushlaks Have you had sticky toffee pudding? If you haven’t, next time you come to New York, I will help this obsession.

[José Antonio Márquez @joseeight]

Google is merging Maps and Waze teams, what's the new team name?

[José Antonio Márquez @joseeight]

@AnkerOfficial Ironically, you still can’t plug anything j to the other socket 😂

@pandemona @amazon If this has warm humidity, then it can steam the salmon? 🤪
