FWIW, this has worked for me too. I got hired this summer (college freshman) because I was impressed with + interested by some GPT-3 stuff that Peter Wildeford was doing on Twitter and wanted to try it myself. Those tweets got me hired!
TLDR: Tweet about interesting stuff and reply to people you think are smart!
Twitter is definitely underrated for career dev (including by me up until a few weeks ago). Perhaps someone could write a post about dynamics on the platform? I find it quite intimidating and infinite game-ish relative to emailing/DMs, and I wouldn’t be surprised if others felt similarly.

I have 13 followers, and most of those are friends or coworkers, so I don’t feel qualified to be that someone. But I would also love to see this!
