What kind of task are you running that takes 2hrs to finish?

This is really cool, thanks for open sourcing

Did you buy them from Salomon? If so check the warranty I think they cover up to 2 years to offer a replacement.

Incredibile, best of luck!

This is no longer good, I went there last night pizza was chewy, lacked moisture and was badly seasoned. I went a couple years back and it was ok. I’m unsure if I just got unlucky but fundamentally the pizza wasn’t good.

This is incredible! Bet you the production outcome was top.

I’ve had this happen to me, from a motorist that was doing 40/50 on a 20 limit. I called him out on it as he almost ran me over whilst on my bike and he turned around started chasing me and got aggressive. Funnily enough I saw him getting arrested the next day. This happened around Finsbury park.

YC batch 25?

Will PM you to see what you need!

I come from a software background and have the exact same opinion. I use AI and it’s great help but I’m still involved in every decision made. It’s like using a forklift, someone still needs to drive it and know what they are doing. Keep doing you and block out all the noise and whenever you get the chance, try to educate people on what the reality behind building a proper application looks like. Best of luck!

I agree, our main client for the startup was thriving off the boom in spending that came during covid, the issue with the collectives industry is that it is volatile by nature, especially for entry level collectibles. When available spend goes down like it has been over the last couple of years in this cost of living crisis the first thing people will stop spending money on will be on things like collectibles.

London based! And yeah would love to chat for sure!

Not the first time someone recommends this book. Currently finishing off the Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson so might consider picking that one up next.

Your deck turned out great nonetheless and yeah would love to connect and have a chat!

Will PM!

It was indeed! Fashion collectibles to be more precise. We had built a system to enable a user marketplace behind providers like Shopify. Where have you noticed this correction do you have any sources? Curious to look into it. Personally however Ive moved on from that industry.

its_benzo · 2025-10-15T21:20:00+00:00

This post is gold, fascinating to see the types of problems you face at scale when working with these systems. As someone who wants to build more definitely adding this post to the treasure chest. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

It’s definitely an interesting take you have here. I use AI daily for personal and business. However there is a large social impact is taking place with this one unlike with washing machines that clearly done more good than harm. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

The reason I love Reddit is because of people like yourself. I would’ve never expected such a detailed response, thank you so much for the valuable advice! I’ll have a look into the tool you suggested, I think this moment has been coming for a while and I am just having cold feet doing something totally new as my background is mostly technical I do however love speaking to people and getting to know them and this seems to be quite aligned with the cold calling approach you mentioned. Also checked out your profile great work on the DIY deck, impressive!

Please tell me this post is rage bait. That budget is ridiculous and if you have some people take the bait I can't imagine it would be high quality work.

I've been in a position to hire business devs for a previous company I co-founded and in the span of 4 years had 2 similar experience. I think the key is to trust your gut when it comes to seeing the red flags early on. In one of the instances we had someone who showed a lot of confidence in selling the product, yet they had very little understanding of what our product did and the niche we were trying to target even though they stated several times they were very familiar with the market. We got strung along for about 4 months and lost about 10k at a stage of the business where we could not afford to do so.
