I've always had trouble following during stand-up meetings and videocalls. Too easy to take out my phone and get distracted. Then I accidentally discovered one mobile game that occupies just enough of my "extra" attention that I can listen and respond to the conversation

I'll be happy to talk to teams that currently work on languages targeting 100K+ users and figure out how I can help. Probably, no full-time commitments, but I'm pretty sure I can be useful in many other ways. 2/2
