Wow. And he has the gall to claim this:

Would it be possible to make something similar but for XMPP instead of Matrix?
When one doesn't care much at all about writing a faithful implementation of a protocol, all sorts of things become easily doable!

Client: So, how quickly can you have this done, and how fast can the program be?
Author: Well, tell me about your constraints and accuracy requirements and I'll try to give you answers to those questions.
Client: Oh we don't really have any constraints and don't care much at all about accuracy.
*Very long pause where more details are not forthcoming*
Author: Well, in that case, I can make it very fast and get it done very quickly. It shall return the number two to all queries. I should be able to have the work done by the end of the day.
Client: :OThey (you?) haven't even figured out Matrix yet, from the looks of things.

Author works in public sector... is this how Matrix works in classified environments? Seems dangerous
