coders revealed to 404 Media that "some of Kirsina’s Instagram posts are word-for-word copies of Sizovs’ LinkedIn posts, sometimes published more than a year later." In addition, "some of the images [Kirsina] posted on Instagram show computer monitors with code that show her logged in under Sizovs’ name." But perhaps most striking is the fact that an administrator told 404 Media that both Sizovs’ and Kirsina’s accounts were banned "multiple times" by the Lobste.rs coding forum for "sockpuppeting"—using a false identity to deceive others—in 2019 and 2020.

Lol..... for reference, this is the twitter account: https://nitter.net/UnicornCoding

It's full of advertisements about the DevTernity conference... as does the instagram, which has so many professional-looking photos that feel like she was an actual model, always with different backgrounds. Is the laptop wirelessly streaming to the ultrawide screen in her Twitter profile picture? because I see no cables, she's not even connected to a charger, how long of a coding session can you have like that?

I can go damn near all day on my m1 MacBook. Those things have insane battery life.
