mnmapplications··on My First Year as a Solo Developer
Just out of curiosity, what did you do for your healthcare and everything after leaving Google?

Great article by the way, I really resonated with the line: "Your job at Google used to impress people. Now, when people ask about your work, you awkwardly tell them, “Um, it’s a website where you type a food, and it tells you whether it’s keto…” Shouldn’t you do something that sounds more impressive?"

I've had this thought (about my own projects) all too often

I know for sure if you make a second account and sign into a device like a phone or tablet where you've already signed onto another account - it will realize the connection and start suggesting you friends from your original account.

I'm not sure if that's taking MAC address of the device or the phone number into consideration or what - but it's definitely a bit creepy
