Spanish perfect for robot live stream

It was said from a friend, which Javixae the Twitch streamer was in English, but no, it's way better Spanish. The Spanish language is better for excitement. Consider Speedy Gonzales and his various utterances "Andalay" "Ariba" etc. Like the woops and woohoos of English with actual meaning. The Spanish language is ideal for just saying stuff that is musical and exclamatory.

I'm offended by people who are offended by things

Startup tree root analogy

When one of our interns suggested adding an app store to the business, it made me think, we are trying to focus rather than expand out. It's like the root of a tree, we are at the trunk and moving down to the end of a root to find a source of water (money). We may not know exactly which root yet, so it's something like a depth first search. When we find water, we can sustain the business, and then we can trace down many more roots. (Each path from trunk to tip is a business vertical.)

Programming that lacks interface

Some programming is back from lack of interface, the guts are out. It's bad. You're changes can mess things up. There's a lot of confuration. Things have to be manually kept consistent, etc.

Change the World

People say an entrepreneur's job is to change the world. It's not. For one thing, changing the world doesn't necessarily do the right thing. For example, a butterfly changes the world by flapping its wing, but it doesn't matter. Also messing up a building changes the world but not in a good way. Nearly all good businesses change in a very specific way, making some relatively short term (year) process more efficient. Also the goal is not making people happy, drug dealers might do that... game makers too (the exception), but mostly the big businesses are about making people get more stuff done in shorter amounts of time.

Swim

Startup is like being underwater then swimming hard to the surface to pop out enought that an inveator sees you so the funds can pull you to the sky. Initial swim must be fast or you just end up sinking back down.
