One would think Anthropic could point Mythos at this to solve the reseller problem outright:

- Purchase multiple accounts via resellers

- Send messages that contain a UID

- Capture these in Anthropic's logs

- Shut down account. Use any metadata to identify related accounts

What type of cheese?

Thanks for the reply. Very neat adventure you're on.

Hey, if the ladies don't dig the man with the van, their loss!

This is awesome. So much so, I'm going to borrow his idea and kick this off next Spring.

If the author is reading this, some questions:

- How do you deal with solitude? Most can handle it but seeing as everyday is a new day in a new place there must be an urge to share that with somebody.

- This mode of living must have an impact on the ol' love life. What do the ladies say - if you meet many at all - when you suggest going back to your van/office/home?

- What are your plans for the Winter? I imagine just go as south-west as possible to chase the sun.

> It seems like if you're so tired while you're at work that you actually want to take a nap, then maybe there is another underlying problem.

There is: tiredness. Often, but not always, due to lack of sleep. A nap is the solution.

If you need 8 glasses of water a day to be at peak-performance but for whatever reason only manage to drink 7 in the morning, why not have that final glass sometime during the day? Same with sleep.

In fact it's absurd to think everybody can store energy upfront and power through 9 hours of activity without falling off towards the end.

Naps are natural.

They may have studied in the LSE but Yizhou Ren is from Germany, apparently.

"Because it's a todo app" is an obvious response to the title but the content is interesting.

Trello Gold with emoji support and custom backgrounds was a weak proposition and they could have moved into enterprise faster. Still, it's amazing they did as well as they did.

Kanban boards and Chat apps are the new todo lists - ten a penny - which makes people dismiss the notion of building a business around such a trivial feature.

This is a mistake. Most of those apps are badly designed, meaning for those looking to eke out a living rather than break $1 billion, there's still plenty of opportunities.

For example, Diigo the highlighting app is relatively unknown but is a hit with educators and so makes cash in a corner where few competitors are looking. The top stopwatch on The Play Store makes over $400,000 with in-app sales.

And Wunderlist sold for $125 million. And Todoist is profitable.

It's a big Internet out there.

I had an existential crisis after scrolling 50 times and revealing nothing but more background-color: #000000;

They're the Trump of the startup world.

> I don't have the confidence to call myself a developer.

Start building things. Pick some open source projects you like, dig into the code, and try make a better version of them. Also stalk (or if you like, talk to) the creators on Twitter to learn how they think.

Do this consistently and in a few months you'll begin to be embarrassed by how bad and inefficient your previous projects/processes were.

That's when you'll know that you're growing.

Opened page: this is kinda lam....oooh that's neat.

Nice work.

I'm in the same boat. 6 months into a 7 days a week routine of bootstrapping my business. It's beginning to pay off but being so selfish with my time has definitely frayed relationships. Luckily these are friends I've known long enough to understand that the frequency of our friendship says nothing of its quality.

Plus don't underestimate the power of a WhatsaApp group or email to rekindle connections.

> this is not really a major concern of mine at this time, but I suspect it may be a regret later.

Possibly. If you succeed though (and I hope you do), the door opens to more connections. Not that friendships are interchangeable but to own your time and be a successful business owner provides the tools and experience to meet many like-minded individuals.

Depending on your age and interests, the 'digital nomad' scene is an excellent way to meet interesting peeps who will '"understand the obsession and inability to "turn it off."'
