Does a killer Billy Joel. Built the world's most advanced ORM for frontend so I can build apps faster. Irony noted, but it *does* work to that effect now.

Optimizing cluster, reducing hosting costs today.
Got some great pull from friends on #happenlist. Obvious what the current bottleneck is, and I have a confession: I'm already working on the WRONG thing since SATURDAY. That's almost a week of ruined growth. Loser me. Will switch immediately. Will increasingly make a point of publicly confessing stupid prioritization, because it's my biggest problem. I love to build, but that's also my achilles heel. I'm too often subconsciously optimizing for the wrong the goal function: short-term satisfaction/fun in building. Paradoxically, perceived long-term quality in what's being built is what gives me that short-term satisfaction. I enjoy thinking about the problem deeply and building ultra-strong foundations. But in the limit that leads you to reinventing the entire tech stack from the bottom up – yes the deepest tech stack of human history, which includes semiconductor tech itself. "There's plenty of room at the bottom" – not just for product, but also for design ambition. An ambition sponge of doom.
new app with collapsing similar events released #happenlist. Also refined layout further, better utilizing screen space. Every pixel matters! The app's main screen is the central product.
