SuperVinlin

SuperVinlin is Kevin Lin, Twitch co-founder and longtime chief operating officer. Lin used both `supervinlin` and `vinlin` as online handles, and his 2020 Twitch farewell signs off as `Kev (aka vinlin)` after twelve and a half years across the Justin.tv and Twitch era.

Lin joined Justin.tv in 2008 and worked on recruiting broadcasters and building the partnership side of the business. Emmett Shear later named him among the core team that led the Twitch pivot inside Justin.tv. The `SuperVinlin` command also passed through more than one Twitch technical generation, so the current target must remain separate from its older same-command predecessor.
