  If Twitter's approach was to can him for asking reasonable questions (even on a public forum) before taking the job, that would be a signal that the opportunity wasn't worth pursuing for me.

  That did cross my mind, but I couldn't really ask it anonymously. Indeed, 20 minutes after posting, I got a kind and funny Twitter DM from the hiring manager offering to discuss any concerns people here raised. Based on my experience with the people there, I figured they wouldn't mind. You can't really work at Twitter without believing deeply in honest public dialog as a way to solve problems. Indeed, I heard about the job through a retweet and I responded publicly, so for me this has always been public. And it's provided some unexpected benefits. I've already received some great emails from people, including encouraging ones from within Twitter and from people I respect who might want to join me in solving the problem.
