Not sure if serious... this reads like one of those over-the-top joke comments bragging tongue-in-cheek about how 10x the author is.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that:

1. Ditching TCP for a social network app is insane.

2. Bypassing standard POSIX sockets for a social network app is insane.

3. Writing a custom database server for a social network app is insane.

4. There's no way you did that in four months, especially if you were CTO for multiple startups.

Even if you're the greatest developer alive on Earth today and you really did all that, think of how many amazing features you could have developed in that time to differentiate your product, instead of obsessing over insignificant nanosecond latency gains.
