When Dara Oladosu was creating his Quoted Replies feature on Twitter, he probably did not think it would snowball into something this huge.
He stumbled upon the ability to copy a tweet’s link and search Twitter for the quotes of the tweets, then he used it to build his super useful feature.
But during a meeting yesterday, 8 November, which included Twitter founder, Jack Dorsey and Kayvon Beykpour, Twitter’s product lead, Dara was offered a job.
At this meeting, Dara’s work was discussed and Kayvon, who was fascinated with Dara’s work, offered him a job at Twitter in order to build a native quoted replies feature for the social media app.
Dara excitedly accepted the offer. Watch the video below.
The founder of @QuotedReplies just got a job offer with Twitter. The announcement was made at the meeting with media and tech entrepreneurs in Lagos.
