Hang on. You've published hundreds of apps? As in the same thing slightly modified several times?

I feel like this take is for a more passive form of stoicism. No you don't have to care about what is going on around you, but you do need to somewhat engage with your life to solve problems, pay bills and take care of loved ones.

Funny enough, this is why I think a PhD is undervalued by many. You spend years focused on a single area, sometimes pivoting topics, and getting hands on experience with operating solo on the outskirts of a particular field.

The overall point of the degree is you learn how to learn. The nice part is you have the padded walls of university equipment, funding, and time; So failure isn't terminal, just an opportunity to figure out what didn't work.

There's a few reasons how and why this message got distorted and lost in modern academia (honestly it would be a great subject for a book). It's no mistake that better known programs and programs with ties to a stream of successful startups are also the ones where there's a culture of builders and makers.

This got a laugh out of me! Thanks for sharing!

Are you using a 3rd party system to generate the numbers and forward them to your number? How can you audit that they 3rd party that creates the Quell numbers isn't saving the messages before they move to your server?

Just wondering - Is that a guess or a backed up statistic? Would be eye opening if that really was the case
