Geohot, a talented hacker, resigned from Twitter and has just started for about a month.
CTOnews.com, Dec. 21 (Xinhua)-- "talented hacker" George Hotz, known as "Geohot" as a hacker, became the first person to unlock iPhone and break out of PS3. He announced on Twitter on Tuesday night that he had resigned from his Twitter internship.
"Thank you for this opportunity, but I don't think I can make any real impact there," Geohot wrote. "besides, it's sad to see my GitHub' withered and will go back to writing code."
CTOnews.com learned that Geohot had just resigned as chief executive of Comma AI, a self-driving start-up, in October and on November 16 expressed support for CEO Elon Musk's statement that the company needed a "very hard core" and then offered to join Twitter. "this is the attitude you should have to build incredible things and let all people who don't yearn for greatness leave," he said. " Musk replied, "Let's talk." Geohot will conduct a 12-week internship at Twitter in San Francisco.
Two days later, on November 18, Geohot said he had officially started working for Twitter. Three days later, Geohot said Musk had given him two things, and he had 12 weeks to complete: fix the Twitter search and fix the pop-up windows that users might see when they scroll Twitter when they are not logged in.
If Geohot's working hours are calculated from November 18, he has worked at Twitter for about 5.5 weeks. I don't know if he fixed the Twitter search function, but the second task has been completed, and now you can close the login pop-up window and continue browsing Twitter.
Geohot has signalled in recent days that he is considering leaving. He is also unhappy with Twitter's brief policy of banning the posting of Instagram links. However, even if he leaves early, Geohot says it still supports the success of Twitter 2.0.
