Did he really just abbreviate his company name ... and no other words?

twttr is what Twitter used to be known as, and Jack's tweet is in reference to https://twitter.com/jack/status/20

There is a lot of color to the context of this tweet which is very well described in Hatching Twitter [0].

Definitely would recommend, even for entertainment value, but definitely for the SV lore and understanding these references.

Back then, Twitter was called twttr.

Not just his first tweet, Twitter's first tweet.

Bull shit. We all know the first tweet was either 'test' or 'hello, world'.

Compiler Error?

Heh, probably but if you have database access then it can be anything you want.

...followed by a whole lot of "gudsfgjhgfkjhgdasf"

Can't be, because it is tweet number 21 as you can see from the ID (assuming the first tweet hat ID 0). Tweet number 1 is just not available.
