The coolest thing about this is apparently it’s written by Jack Dorsey, billionaire founder of Twitter/Square. https://x.com/jack/status/1941989435962212728

Cool to see he still gets his hands dirty in code.

It's not though, it's written by someone called nothankyou1 https://github.com/jackjackbits/bitchat/graphs/contributors

The commits, viewed outside of GitHub, have:

  Author: jack <no@no.no>

He used a bogus `user.email` git config value, which GitHub matched to the nothankyou1 account.

Yeah I noticed this too! The profile picture looked familiar.
