Glad you found your personal sovereignty. (by the way I know the difference between a shark and a dolphin, but what about a dolphin and a porpoise?)

I figured that “sharks” and “dolphins” were metaphors for personality types in the tech scene but that still doesn’t explain much.

I lol'd at the last sentence. Is a porpoise a euphemism for a dumb dolphin or something?
