I'm not baiting or anything, just purely curious --why not?

And what do you use as an alternative to Signal?

I'm lucky enough that all the people I communicate with regularly use iPhones, so, I use iMessage.

On: Ambitious but at peace

I don't know if they're totally at odds if you separate your ambition from your identity and sense of self-worth. I live in a fairly constant state of discontentment (maybe as a symptom of ambition), but when I step back and self-evaluate I rest easy.

A steady state of always feeling peace in the background seems pretty impossible though under any circumstances.

If you can do this and stay ambitious, I'd like to buy your course. I don't know if generally people can stay hyper-motivated and hyper-ambitious unless it's tied to their identity and self-worth. If you're content with the way you are or the world is -- why bother?

I just applied to the DevOps team role. I'm T1 and have followed Tidepool for years, so I'm super excited. Are you one of the hiring managers?
