trying to convert a massive meatpacking plan isn't step 1. it's too big a problem. that's top down. probably easier bottom up -- have a processing plant that only sources from ranchers that grass feed/finish, pasture rai

I went to restaurant last night and asked where the chicken was sourced from and their response was "it's not the usual place we get chicken, but it's US Farm Raised Hatched", but I misinterpreted the her answer as a dis

The main draw for me with elysia was that it maintains bun's perf benefits unlike express. When I got into the weeds of the documentation, their abstractions could use a lot of polish. The lifecycle of a request is not that clear imo a

i also do the sit down a calculate exercise. i always end up down a rabbit hole of how to make a viral site as cheaply as possible. always ends up in the same place: redis, sqlite, SSE, on suspended fly machines, and a CDN.

i don’t think there’s any other input type you can apply the one million schtick to except color. i was thinking of squared shaped browser native color pickers on a 1000x1000 or 10k x 100 non responsive grid. but after seeing the infra and

I'm impressed a single individual got to 600K MRR by himself. Only a few people can say that they've done that. Who knows when shopify would've taken their checkout experience seriously were it not for this guy. you can have

i haven’t, was going to start trying to make some attempts this year, static sites like istheshipstillstuck and howmuchtoiletpaper. also i don’t know how to answer the monetization question for new sites that pick up traffic quickly

i’ve been thinking of doing something similar but for anime and with semantic search (ie., “rudeous getting punched”) but i have concerns about DMCA notices. I also know that search engines have a different set of rules for copyright liabil

i could see your argument from 10 to 100, but 1 to 3 is a practical productivity multiplier. There's also risk of the 1 engineer going to another company that thinks the same way but for $650,000 and now you're left with 0 enginee
