    I also liked Skype, even though I spent five years of my career writing Skype clones that absolutely nobody used.

        Actually, they did. The clones were all written for cable companies and ISPs and offered to their customers as a free perk. These companies promoted the shit out of them and still nobody ever used them.

        I even “starred” in one of these ads. I had the amusing role of being amazed that I could make a phone call with the app … when the app was running on a fucking iPhone.
