You don鈥檛 have to live in San Francisco, or Austin. You can just live somewhere magical like this and build whatever you want.

If software is solved does that mean in its only solved in its current form? What if it continues to grow in complexity?

The other day I proposed to my wife "what if we could do it all over again but only surround ourselves with people who truly support us?". Sure, its a worthless proposition since I don't have a time machine. However it does so much more than that. If you accept being surrounded by better people means you do more. Then you accept the reality of bad people holding you back. All this to say STOP LISTENING TO THE BAD PEOPLE HOLDING YOU BACK. You know thats what they are doing. STOP LISTENING TO THEM and just do stuff. "what idiot builds a tortilla press?" The world needs more people building beautiful things and less Bob and Lindas sand bagging every idea. Don't be a Bob or Linda in this story or your own.
Idk if there's a more self-destructive perspective you could carry in the current era than scared and resistant Don't get me wrong, everything is being reinvented every 6 fucking hours, and it's devastating, because it ends up better, but I never could have imagined such a democratizing moment where opportunity flows like milk and honey. The only thing you need to bring is your work-ethic, agency and resilience Build whatever shit you want to fix. Yes you can call it stupid and invalidate in a thousand ways, and everybody else will call it that and shit on your ideas too But there's a good chance they're wrong, because the rarest attributes humanity has ever found are agency and follow-through You could build something as dumb as a coloring book, and it could seem like everybody could copy you in an afternoon. But every time that thought pops up you remember how long you've been in this game, and search the app store for an honest one and it still doesn't exist You can just care more The real unlock of shipping something that ends up failing is that it leads to another, better idea that might not I keep thinking about @jaredpalmer's post this morning, and really think the only thing you can do right now to seal your failed fate is sit on the sidelines scared Go. Build.

#2 is right behind it ready for finish sanding.
Serial #00001 Cherry press is ready for a finish. I guess I have to bite the bullet soon and see if anyone will actually buy one at a sustainable price.

I had a similar fever dream. Except we mass produced tortilla presses and air dropped old school abuelas who wielded them as weapons. War was over in an hour. It was great and we finished with enchiladas.
had really weird WW3 fever dreams last night that involve me having to write kotlin. it was terrible

A full wood shop inside a school bus. Lowrider V4 mostly printed 4x8 router running my home rolled cnc client control. Complete with a rudimentary table mapping that offsets z on program upload. Lots in the world to complain about, but twice as much to be happy about.
Talk about the things that make you feel happy
