In 1983, Steven Levy interviewed Steve Jobs for hours about his recent breakup and the birth of the Mac.
At some point, Levy asked Jobs what he saw himself as. To which Jobs replied “Sort of a trapeze artist”.
It’s funny that no one noticed this is the exact one liner Bob Dylan used while interviewed in Austin in 1966:

Bob Dylan: Well, I like to think of myself in terms of a trapeze artist.
Now, now, Steve, everyone is going to call you a thief again.

By using publicly accessible API endpoints, Robert Moore at RJMetrics said he was able to scan all the questions posted thus far on the app. He determined that more than 100,000 questions have been asked, with only about 25% of them receiving an answer. According to his report, Jelly saw 8,275 new active users on the day of its launch, with 5,183 people asking and 5,527 answering.
