I enjoyed this but I hate twitter as the delivery method for things of this length. Its a terrible way to digest the content.

Came here to say the same. Someone needs to tell these people that Twitter is not a blogging service...

  Maybe he is emulating a blogging service with restricted technology?

    The 5 1/4 disk blogging platform.

  But... that's exactly what it is

    It's a microblog service. It's funny that Twitter originally came from the idea of just having a list/feed of AIM/Yahoo Messenger away messages. It's about using the right tools for the job, and in this case, a regular long form blog post or a video is a much better tool than a ton of chained Tweets.

  Or you should be a little more sensitive and read about the OP and why he doesn't use a blog (severe ADHD).

    To be fair, a lot of people (mis)use twitter as a blogging platform. I think it's more likely GP was complaining about that trend than being insensitive that this one author has ADHD. (Someone will always complain about this on HN whenever there is a twitter thread posted here, though I do get why the author gets annoyed with these complaints.)

    He has a blog: https://foone.wordpress.com/ https://foone.wordpress.com/ He uses twitter for shorter, quick posts. A "micro" blog, if you will.

  Maybe some of us like Twitter as it is?

  It is a not a blog. Its not one thought, it discreet thoughts on the same topic.
