How to build a (Drake) Twitter bot

#twitter #bot #twitterbot #ruby

I was at a bar with an old group of friends over the 2017 holidays. While we were waiting in line, one of them mentioned that he heard about a Twitter-bot that replied to tweets containing Biggie Smalls lyrics with other Biggie Smalls lyrics.

I thought the idea was hilarious, and after one or six beers decided it was something I had to build! However, I wanted to do things a little differently:

~~I rep the 6~~ I live in Toronto, so the Twitter-bot would be for Drake - a.k.a the DrizzyBot
The DrizzyBot should reply to tweets containing Drake lyrics with the next line of the song
The DrizzyBot should run at regular intervals with no human interaction

After a day of programming, tinkering, and giggling, the DrizzyBot was born.
