I have no productive words to share other than positive feelings and kind empathy to you @sberens. I've gone through this manufacturing route in China before about 10 years ago and...it has largely been the same. Even with near native fluency in Mandarin and Cantonese did not spare me from this experience. Good luck and I looking forward to purchasing one on your next run - its been on my radar for a very long time!

This is nothing sort of amazing. Great f*cking work. No exaggeration - this almost brought tears to me...

Correct - My personal number is nowhere to be seen anywhere on the business account.

I think that I actually 'L - O - L' at most three times a year when reading on my computer. "cut off your finger and work even harder." is the best one yet!

Ha! This is good! XD

I regularly tell people this - that Coinbase really could have "died being the hero" but instead has "lived long enough to see yourself become the villain"

Multiple people in my last organization fit this bill. Worse, these bad actors are somehow able to leverage their incompetency to be branded as 'thought leaders' themselves. Its comically impressive...

This is by far the most effective workplace environment and arrangement I have experienced as well, for teams and large companies - almost like physical 'pod' structures

Coincidentally, in my research paper, it's found that one of the deciding factors that VCs and Accelerators choose/invest in companies is actually how much they 'like' people or founders

Fair point, though there's no way that her site would have taken off without the misleading blurb. In an essentially culturally Confucian China, the task of naming a child is commonly relegated to the most senior/elderly person in the family, then education, then preference. No matter how well marketed the site may be, its doubtful it would have taken off if she stated her age honestly.
