Your New Twitter Bio

Operating Engineer, Web Applications Developer, Great Grand-uncle, and Woodworker. Syncing-up since 2025.


This is an implementation of Merlin Mann’s formula for Twitter profile descriptions, the inspiration for which is below. I thought it would be fun to bring it to life, so I scraped together a variety of sources to populate the different values, and wrote a little script to piece them together randomly.

function twitterbio { echo $realJob, $aspirationalJob, $familyTitle, and $whackadoodleHobby. $techGerund since $yearStarted. }
