I'm now going to take a break from Smithereen to participate in this Telegram contest: t.me/contest/234

@grishka that telegram thing is a really interesting way to do development. Have you participated in it before?

@felix actually, I started participating in Durov's contests more than 10 years ago. These were VK ones where you had to make Flash apps.

So, yes, I did, a lot. And won some. Except this time Pavel doesn't really like me any more (he wouldn't have fired me from Telegram if he did), so this is more of a spite thing. Plus the ability to win some money, which is nice when you don't have a job.

@grishka I didnt know you worked for telegram, that sounds interesting. It sounds like you know the founder personally?

@felix I do, of course. I worked both in VK and in Telegram. Those contests are what actually helped me get my job at VK in the first place.
