Without the background story, it's hard to tell whether this is a ridiculous or justified amount of time. Does anyone know the full story?

- jay_kyburz 10y agoDo you really need to know the full story? 3.5 years ago somebody started working on an emoji picker. Perhaps he was only working on it 1 day a month, but even if thats the case, there is even a wtf that a side project made it into the main release. How does somebody even stay interested and passionate about such a small piece of work for so long?
- canttestthis 10y agoUhh the full story is kinda really important here.
- jay_kyburz 10y agoI dont know how "important" it is, but I'm sure interested!

- tangue 10y agoHe said in a reply "I never said i was working on this full time, it was a hackweek project I've been working on at low priority" [0] https://twitter.com/tw/status/812221656005386240 https://twitter.com/tw/status/812221656005386240
- jay_kyburz 10y agoYeah but it's twitter, a massive organisation with lots of programmers. Did whoever is in charge of the product decide an emoji picker was required and commission it? Or did Tom just decide to do it for fun? Did it have anything to do with people leaving earlier this week :) (joke)
