etc.

for me it wasn’t really about the idea itself, more how often this still trips you up in real systems

things look identical at the API level, same response, same logs, but the actual outcome drifts depending on what happens after

that’s the part that kept biting me in production, so tried to break that down a bit more concretely

- In most markets with money, shipping is a solved problem.

- Businesses can only survive in markets with money.

- The chicken and egg problem is one form of the general problem of markets: Trust.

- Experience shipping is the only way to understand shipping.

- This is an idea. If it is not impelling you to actually and physically ship, it is a bad idea.

- For generalized shipping you are under-capitalized and no amount of VC funding will build a general shipping company.

- The model has no way to ensure integrity.

Good luck.

If that's what they want, that's what a good conversationalist delivers. If you have an agenda, it's a meeting not a conversation.

Then those ideas are very low value.

Great ideas are the ones that make you stop listening/reading and compel action.

Doing is much much more valuable than knowing once there stops being a quiz next week.

Good luck.
