In the meantime, highly recommend reading, “My Search for Ramanujan” by Ken Ono

1/Also, to find Ramanujan, you would have to understand his catnip: a Twitter thread/account that is similar to "Carr's Synopsis", containing 6165 theorems and only terse explanations, thereby motivating him to find his own proofs.

Oh, I am speaking to his younger days when he first became obsessed. And yes, part of what made helping Ramanujan a challenge was R's intuitional leaps; Hardy wanted R to establish as many rigorous proofs as he could to gain credibility.

And also, Hardy had to bring him up to speed with modern mathematics.

(Although, I don't recall whether Hardy was able to.)
