Your first boss isn't there to inspire you. He's there to remove the “special child” behavior from your bloodstream.

every school should have a "fix-it lab" where students learn to repair their clothes, bikes and electronics. we should grow up knowing that not everything is disposable, that care and repair are part of living well on this planet.

🚨 Twilio charges $0.0079 per SMS. Someone just turned any old Android phone into a free SMS gateway. Unlimited messages. $0.

It's called SMS Gateway for Android.

Install it on any Android phone. It becomes a full SMS sending and receiving server with an API.

No Twilio. No MessageBird. No per-message pricing. No contracts. Just an old phone and a SIM card.

Here's what's inside this thing:

→ Send and receive SMS through a REST API from any app or service
→ Works with any Android phone running 5.0 or newer
→ End-to-end encryption. Messages are encrypted before they leave the device.
→ Multi-SIM support. Use multiple SIM cards on one phone.
→ Multi-device support. Connect multiple phones to the same account.
→ Real-time webhooks for incoming messages
→ Multipart messages with auto-splitting for long texts
→ Track delivery status of every message in real time
→ No registration required. No email. No account in local mode.

Here's the wildest part:

That old Android phone in your drawer that you haven't touched in 2 years? Install this app. Insert a SIM card. You now have your own private SMS infrastructure.

Two-factor authentication. Order confirmations. Appointment reminders. Notification alerts. All the things startups pay Twilio thousands a month for.

Free. Running on a phone you already own.

Startups spend $500 to $5,000/month on SMS APIs. This costs the price of a SIM card.

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”

The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

dude computers are actually so fucking insane when you really think about it. we literally figured out how to write some fake-ass rules called code and somehow convinced rocks to follow them. like actual rocks. sand, melted, purified, carved into tiny pathways where electricity just flows in patterns. that’s it. that’s the whole magic.

and yet from that we get operating systems, compilers, kernels, networks, distributed systems, machine learning models, entire virtual worlds running inside other virtual worlds. billions of tiny electrical decisions per second, all because we defined some abstract logic.

humans basically invented a language of instructions and taught matter itself to execute it.
