What I love about the old twitter is the open sourcing of Twitter Bootstrap (no idea if they mention it or not in this series as it's a niche library known mostly to webdev folks). The folks who took the decision to open source Bootstrap (Mdo/Fat/whoever) made a really wise decision. Twitter might fade away as brand from people's memories some day but "Twitter Bootstrap" will be remembered forever by the millions of developers who use that library. That's how life really works, even your smallest good karma or good deeds are remembered by those who benefited from it and thus, a part of you always live in their memories.
I had forgotten that Bootstrap was originally from Twitter. "Forever" is a long time, especially for a web framework. Lots of churn. I wonder how many people remember GWT? Take pictures, folks....

Take pictures, folks. Maybe keep a diary? You'd be surprised how blurry your memory gets.
Bootstrap, originally named Twitter Blueprint, was developed by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton at Twitter as a framework to encourage consistency across internal tools. Before Bootstrap, various libraries were used for interface development, which led to inconsistencies and a high maintenance burden.
Yep, and the source code history is likely on GitHub. This stuff is well-documented and it won't be lost from history. That's different from what people remember, though.

Wikipedia usually remembers these things.

An engagingly written story but I'm sorry, that web design hurts my eyes and my soul.
I liked the design, but if you wish to avoid it Reader Mode on Firefox works fine. I imagine it's the same for Chrome.
The individual articles linked at the bottom of this landing page all work with Reader Mode, but the landing page itself does not.
I don't think you need to spend a lot of time on the landing page, right?
