@VictorTaelin isn't the typical way to monetize a language to open source it, give it away for free, and charge for enterprise support services / contracting expertise?

@engineering_bae it doesn't do much for weight lifting tracking specifically, but neither do any other trackers. all the heart rate monitors are much more suited for cardio tracking, but it's still something if you just want all around tracking

@ThePrimeagen @Doomerzoomer you're not saying Hard Fork is worth $300 million too, are you?

@loudmouthjulia i don't understand what tangible benefits OpenAI hopes to get from this long term

@Jonathan_Blow @BenjiGameDev honestly i don't think indie game devs could make Super Mario World by themselves. the engine for it isn't that complicated but coming up with that many well designed levels and polishing them all... i think it's a lot lot bigger than say Animal Well

[Kurt Melby @kurtome]

@Jonathan_Blow @BenjiGameDev i'm skeptical, Mario 64 a pretty damn big game
