Awesome product & team. I remember back in 2016/17 I used it for some fun projects and jumped on calls with the founders to help me with roadblocks or questions I had.

"It is 2025 - Tesla announces self-driving cars. It is 2036 - Tesla announces self-driving cars. I am tired of this world, these people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives."

It is 2025 and Tesla just announced flying cars. (Self driving cars are still not a thing)
