I imagine what the OP meant is that when you feel you are wasting time on Social Media, if you say "I am a winner / I am better than this" (or something more positive), it will block the social media for you. So basically the reverse.

I am a product-minded full-stack engineer having 14 years of experience in building teams and shipping products. I’ve contributed in both individual contributor roles (Lead Engineer, Architect) and leadership positions (people and stakeholder management). I excel in a collaborative environment and finding a pragmatic balance between quality and speed. While currently on a sabbatical, I’m actively involved in launching the MVP of a new product.

I am looking for senior/lead role in a high-paced small/medium startup with opportunities to build products and teams as well as set up new processes.

Ask HN: What are your thoughts on Cover Letter during application stage

I personally tend to skip those opportunities. But it does present a few questions in my mind -1. Do Hiring managers read Cover letters which are voluntarily submitted? How much impact does a cover letter in...

> their free tier is really not that great.

Why do you think that their free tier is not great? AFAIK, it works like any other free tier email service but with encryption. Though it does have a limited storage space (which has increased recently). Anyone who would need more than that & has chosen to use PM probably also understands the cost of free products available & will be willing to get paid service

Disclaimer - I am a paid PM user (converted from free tier after using it for few years)

The first line says

> Signal is a nonprofit with no advertisers or investors, sustained only by the people who use and value it.

Wasn't the case that Brian Acton had invested $50 million in Signal?

> Do Apple or Google get a cut of my contribution? - No.
