My first really viral tweet was me waiting for an experiment to launch … talking about how AI people have time to tweet waiting for an experiment to launch.
Tbf having to compile Python from scratch to run a job at Facebook was really annoying and funny.
The reason machine learning was a twitter native thing is because a lot of your time is spent waiting around for experiments..
