Availability and pricing of things like Twilio is pretty variable outside of the US. Last I checked Twilio wasn't going to work for most SMS down here in NZ for example. Not sure about voice.

Personally I just rephrased it... How do you get over the fear of working jobs like this for the rest of your life and not doing what you know your heart wants to do? Quit and start a startup. Works great if you're me. Your results may di

Some thoughts from personal experience: - Stop thinking. - Take a blank sheet of paper. - Write 1 simple task at the top, e.g. do the laundry. - Do not write any more tasks. - Put the paper somewhere in your face. - Complete said task. Forc

I can code, play a tune on guitar and tap out a rhythm but oh my, you do not want to hear me sing. I'm not sure the maths carries over that far!
