i would rather be an optimist and work hard than a pessimist posting about why things won't work.

it's much more difficult and the most likely path is failure, but society fails if people don't try.

no amount of "it will never work" essays will drive society forward.

current app revenue:

current sponsor spend:
$175
Net:
-$165

thoughts:
I suspect the sale came from tiktok organic, the 90% automated account has only done around 3k views, but has really good engagement numbers (tons of saves), and is only ~1 week old.

sponsored livestream is going live tonight. waiting to see how that goes and either clipping or pivoting from there.

or this scene from obsession, insert any modern car instead of a 30 year old station wagon and his whole character is less likable

[rylan @gravyreal]

modern cars lack sex appeal the proof being their under representation in contemporary media.

Imagine a 2026 Chevy Equinox in this scene, it would actively make it worse.

Ask yourself why OpenAI, with all the resources in the world to develop a native app via LLMs, still ended up migrating their feature-complete native app to Electron.
