Step one: apply for a dev account while you’re in grade school so you’ll have it by the time you’re in high school
-
Step two: prep for it to be useless because it'll be deprecated before you do anything worth shipping

first lesson to teach about the Twitter API is that
#Twitter cannot be trusted to safeguard the#API. It is an important lesson for#developers to learn distrust of platform owners with motives that do not align with the platform's API. Twitter is a use case in mismanagementThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Why in the world would you promote this, bof all years? This company literally just decimated every bit of the skill set twitter devs made a livelihood off of. Teaching students how to interact with first-party twitter data is a waste of students money and teacher’s time

Why would anyone build anything for Twitter when you guys consistently say FUCK YOU to devs? Might as well have Steve Ballmer as your CEO at this point.

If I was going to be taught the Twitter API in a class, I would drop that class and ask for my money back.

My company is still awaiting dev approval for two weeks – how long are students supposed to sit around waiting for their dev accounts to be activated to use in the classroom?

Don’t you think this is a bit too late. After all you’ve done to 3rd party API changes.

Great idea, let's teach students to use something you are slowly gutting so that they can build an app that won't work very well due to you intentionally or uninentionally trying to kill off third part apps.

Seems a sensible approach to prepare future generations to cope with failure and uncertainty.
