Reddit is experiencing the VC dilemma.... Your startup is allowed to have core features and limited growth, and the end user experience is generally better that way in the long term...
VCs require infinite growth and that's unsustainable, so once the users run out.. they look to find cash any way they can like the privatisation of the APIs.

Hi, I'm a professional storyteller, and here's today's PSA:
Unless the storyteller complains, your kids didn't do anything wrong. We are fine with wriggling, giggling, lying down, and whispering. If you tell them off after the performance, you kill the magic right there.
Kids wiggle. They ask questions, and comment on the stories. It's part of storytelling. Don't discipline them unless I ask for help.
For my book on neurodiversity-affirming therapy for autistic people, I want to include some information for providers about the medical issues autistic people are more likely to have.

Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
