It’s generally trivial to find a large number of grammatical improvements for anyones writing. In this case, the first tweet:
> i will never get over the dissonance between how we call google/twitter/fb centres of "top engineering talent" despite the products released by such continually demonstrating otherwise
Generally “dissonance between” should be used in the form “dissonance between a and b” however here it’s used ”dissonance between a, despite b”. You can understand what the author meant, but it’s not proper use of English.
“Such” is probably inappropriate here. “Them” would be a better choice, “those companies” better still.
A better tweet, grammatically, might be:
I’m struck by dissonance whenever I hear FAANG companies referred to as “centers of top engineer talent.” The superlatives clash with my personal negative experiences; their products feel like rather low-quality work, not paragons.
