To Dorsey’s surprise, he and Systrom became fast friends. There were only a handful of employees in the loft on Brannan Street, most of them vegan, so he and Systrom bonded over lunchtime walks for sandwiches from the local deli. It turned out that they both had very specific tastes in music and an appreciation for high-quality coffee. They both liked photography. There weren’t many engineers in Silicon Valley Dorsey could talk to about those things. And Systrom flattered Dorsey, who was self-taught, by asking for his help with computer programming.
