// To my knowledge the only solution available that:
// - does not require an API key with "elevated access" (most other solutions need this, requires an application)
// - does not require an API key with "essential access" (requires a valid cell phone number to enable)
// - does not require any type of API key
// - isn't outdated or otherwise broken
//
// Can (probably) download up to 3200 tweets
//
// brew install go
// go run download_all_tweets.go
