Summary

A developer created a tutorial on how to use the Twilio CLI to make kids feel like hackers by sending a text message with a voice recording from a computer, using TwiML and the Twilio CLI. The project uses a text-to-speech engine called Alice to deliver a fun message, such as a song lyric, from Olivia Rodrigo's "The Rose Song". The developer provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up the Twilio CLI environment, create a TwiML Bin, test out hacker skills with Twilio, and experiment with different voices. The project aims to show kids that coding can be fun and creative, and encourages developers to explore more projects with the Twilio CLI.
