A Merry Jester of Code, Begging for Thine Audience and Favor
Dear Sir of Parchment and Post,
By mine own waggish quill do I inscribe this missive, heralding mine boisterous wish to cast my lot with your band of code-wielding sorcerers. 'Tis the flame of liberty technology that lights a sparkler in mine breeches, compelling me to thy noble quest of bestowing the good folk of iOS-land with potent enchantments of free discourse and free doubloons.
In but three revolutions of yonder fiery orb (or, as the layman calls it, 'the sun'), I have toiled merrily in the grand spectacle of shared wizardry, wielding mine wand most particularly in the crafting of SwiftUI iOS app potions. In this craft, I pay homage to design and user experience as if they were twin jesters juggling flaming torches upon the royal stage. 'Twas mine dogged pursuit of a stage so seamless and intuitive that it did verily put the 'app' in 'happiness,' leading my creation to be hailed amongst the finest of iOS entertainments at the grand tournament of Tech Meets 2022.
Working in unison with a motley crew of brilliant minds is akin to a finely tuned lute, and lo, I strum its chords with delight. With heart afire and eyes agog, I long to conjure digital magic side by side with the maestro of thy troupe, the gallant Sir Will, and all other masterminds of code and design. Mine eloquence and efficiency in the art of communication shall surely orchestrate a rhapsody of productivity and cheer within thy esteemed ranks.
Indeed, mine surplus skills are as fitting to thy desires as a codpiece to a courtier. I do boast a hearty experience with the mysterious arts of Nostr, having played a significant hand (both left and right, in fact) in an open-source Nostr saga of yesteryear. Moreover, I converse fluently in the tongue of C, a skill whetted in the fiery furnaces of PQR Corporation.
Mine commitment to the valiant quests of free and open-source creations glimmers as brightly as the polished dome of a court jester. These valorous deeds, archived on the scrolls of the GitHub guild, underscore mine devotion to liberty technology, showcasing mine ability to frolic collaboratively with bands as diverse as a minstrel's repertoire.
Thy flexibility in regard to full-time jester roles and alternative courtly antics finds favor in mine twinkling eyes. I am ready to don the cap and bells of full commitment, while remaining merry and open to engage in discourse regarding other potential arrangements, mayhaps involving less jingling attire.
In gratitude, sweet Squire, I thank thee for considering my playful plea. I tremble with giddy anticipation at the prospect of joining thy gallant quest, contributing mine capering skills to your noble cause. I do verily yearn for the chance to prance and pirouette through thy one-month audition of abilities.
I stand ready for further tomfoolery at thine earliest convenience. Reach me, if thou wish, by carrier pigeon.
With my best fool's cap flourish.

Passionate and Experienced iOS Developer Applying for Collaboration on Damus
Dear Vanessa,
I am writing to express my genuine interest in joining the Damus team as an iOS Developer. As a fervent advocate for freedom technology, I am drawn to Damus's mission of equipping iOS users with tools for free speech and free speech money. My experience in collaborative development, SwiftUI iOS app creation, and design focus align perfectly with your team's needs, making me confident that I can contribute significantly to Damus's ongoing projects.
I have more than three years of experience in collaborative development, primarily focusing on SwiftUI iOS app creation. Design and user experience have always been central to my development philosophy. In fact, it was my relentless pursuit of an intuitive and seamless user experience that led to my app being nominated for the best iOS app in the 2022 Tech Awards.
Working in coordination with a dedicated team is something I enjoy and at which I excel. I am eager to collaborate closely with Damus's lead developer, Will, and the rest of the team. I believe my ability to communicate effectively and efficiently would foster a productive and positive working relationship within the team.
In terms of bonus qualifications, I have substantial experience with Nostr development, having contributed to an open-source Nostr project last year. I am also familiar with programming in C, a skill I honed during my time as a software engineer at PQR Corporation.
My commitment to free and open source projects is evident from my active contributions to numerous initiatives on GitHub. These projects underscore my commitment to freedom technology and showcase my ability to work collaboratively with different teams.
I appreciate Damus's flexibility with full-time and alternative arrangements. I am open to a full-time role and am also amenable to discussing other potential arrangements as required.
Thank you for considering my application. I am excited about the opportunity to join Damus and contribute to its noble mission. I look forward to potentially undergoing the one-month probationary period and proving my abilities.
I am available at your earliest convenience for further discussion.
I just use a pinephone and Framework laptop.

I don't believe in vendor lock-in.
PinePhone in my hand,
Opens worlds yet to be planned,
Tech dreams expand, grand.
Once upon a balmy summer's eve, our noble lord of the grill, Sir Sizzle-a-Lot, ventured forth, a dozen sun-kissed peaches cradled in his arms. "Forsooth," quoth he, "the grill's fierce heat shall kiss these tender orbs, they lying face down as a blushing maiden to the sun." Amid the jests and japes of a motley company, he gave the peachy congregation a mighty flip, exposing their succulent hearts. "By my troth," cried he, beaming like a proud father, "thou art to be anointed, each one, with the honeyed nectar of the bees and the nutty embrace of cream cheese!" The ensuing mirth and merriment was only surpassed by the delicious sweetness of the grilled fruit, and Sir Sizzle-a-Lot was hailed as the jester of taste, the champion of the grill, his tale whispered evermore amidst the perfume of smoky peaches and the echo of hearty laughter.
