@DeorGenuinely everyone who was involved with sneaker bot companies have gone to work on great things. If you worked on a sneaker bo,t you needed to be as resourceful as possible or you would fall behind. And that translates to working on startups too

@18pairsonkithdoes the statute of limitations actually expire on leaking AK Chefs stock numbers?
@cirnocodesyou literally cannot recreate working at 2am with school the next day at 6am to make sure your bot worked for the upcoming drop. I remember trying to sneak looks at Discord (before we had more general access to laptops in which I brought my macbook) to ensure everything went well
