10,000 vibe coders have written Resy sniper bots and Instinct obv has shipped their version, too. What they all do is hit Resy’s services many many times looking for time-based reservation drops and availability churn associated with cancellations. That’s how they all work. There isn’t anything clever or proprietary happening. Sometimes they work. But there’s a but 🧵

I have to admit: I managed to get my hands on a piece by @kimasendorf (commissioned by @jdh). 45DF #96 is in the vault now. I love everything about it—the unmistakable digital language of Kim, the physical object, even the wild packaging. This piece has a special place in my collection, and it always will. And maybe I played the tiniest part in how all of this came to be. That’s what many people don’t understand: if you collect for the right reasons, you’re so much more than a buyer. You can’t help but engage with artists, open doors, and support where you can. Something grows—something far more complex than what’s visible from the outside. For me, this work also stands for that complexity. Thank you, Kim. (And of course @jdh as well.)
