The Holy and Unerring Court of Twitter is the reason I've got a cron job deleting my old tweets automatically.

I've seen people in more prominent positions than me being badly burned by a 10 year old tweet. I see no point in saving stuff I've said 6 months or a year ago. If it's something worthwhile, I'll make a blog post out of it and store the markdown file in git.

Then why tweet at all in the first place?
