1 week left to ship a new TakeAndPay feature for our first (planned) customer! We're coming in hot!! The feature is a "live checkout" flow where the seller makes a QR code and shows it to the buyer. (I'm sorry nostr, this is just a Stripe wrapper. Nothing Bitcoin/Web3 yet(?) because I am only human... This thing almost didn't even happen at all. I have bills to pay)

Can we normalize saying "with all respect" instead of "with all due respect"? It feels like a cheap shot.

Seller "wurknman" on eBay seems based. People who stand up for themselves in this way are reliable.

I need to remember this next time someone asks me my age. "How old are you?" "Older than I deserve..." (in a Dave Ramsey voice)

As a procrastinator, I worry that my startup isn't going to make it. As a deadline approaches, will I be able to implement the features that I promised? This is why I need deadlines. So I know I'm doing something important. And yes I know my startup isn't going to "make it" in the sense of being successful (like it could be if I gave it more time and effort and dedication)... of course. But I want to make _something_. Maybe it'll catch on. Maybe I'll become addicted to shipping and creating products. Maybe I can eventually wean myself off of that corporate paycheck. But alas, there is no valid sounding solution that does not involve having discipline, an order of magnitude more than I have currently.
