I use Jelly, a tiny smartphone that fits the little keychain pocket of my running shortpants, I don't even feel it while running. They released a newer version of it, Jelly 2, if you're interested in small phones.

A naive question: is it still a real thing to be entrepreneurial software engineer? After reading this thread, as somebody who quit comfortable and well paying job for a startup being founded from scratch, I feel like I’m alone in this sort

Interesting to see how the toxic usage of emojis at Slack is a part of the letter. In past, these sort of details in communication (reactions of others) would be instantaneous and people would not remember them. Now, the emojis stay there a
