I wouldn't be surprised if the burning ship fractal could be coded on dwitter (i.e. with 140 characters or less) as well
As an afternoon exercise, I wrote a Mandelbrot draw function (my first fractal display code!). Then I realized it was both faster and used less code and runtime memory than the image display stuff, so I replaced it in my environment. Other people were amused by it, so it went in public repository.
A couple weeks later, someone removed it to reinstate the image display. I guess having the company logo for internal-only code was more important to someone :(
I don't work there anymore.

If I remember correctly, early AMIBIOS did generate that logo procedurally using a short piece of code.
