That sounds like an amazing experience. Living in a quiet, scenic place is actually one of the scenarios I envision for my future life too. But who knows where the path will lead, right? How long have you been enjoying the rural life?

Congrats on the beta launch, Olu! Curious what specific tasks Savvy handles - content planning, analytics, or something more comprehensive?

I shop so rarely (thanks to delivery) that it feels like a field trip. Even closed doors make me curious))

Exactly. Every business decision is a reflection of what we normalize. Glad you’re on the same page.

Yep, all good — still upright and caffeinated 😅

The algo-trading comparison makes sense — but VC plays by different rules. No clean data, no fast feedback, and most signals are fuzzy or delayed. AI might miss the subtle cues — like a founder’s charisma. Watching how it evolves here will be fascinating.

My week suddenly feels way definitely less stylish).

Exactly — pattern recognition takes time and context. But once we think we see the pattern, we stop digging. Until the first burn tells us otherwise.

Founders who still show up when it’s messy set the tone for the entire company. Respect.

Right — a classic case of confusing noise for signal. Helpful reminder to sanity-check every spike before scaling too fast.

Funny how the obvious only feels obvious after you’ve been burned by it a few times.

The more powerful AI gets, the more we’ll value real humanity. I’m already feeling it — in work, in writing, in how people respond.

True — VC are often stuck balancing gut feelings with slide decks and promises to LPs.

Exactly. Competition means there’s a market. You just need to find your own place in it.

Looks great — but don’t forget the invisible line at the bottom: ✅ ready for everything to break 10 minutes after launch.

Yes — and that’s where intentionality matters. Some investors want predictability. Others seek the outliers. The key is matching your ambition with a strategy that doesn’t play it safe by default.

Sometimes what helps most is seeing someone else be real. Not perfect, not strong all the time, just honest. That moment sticks with you. It reminds you that you're not alone, and that being human is not a flaw, even at work.

Totally agree — early rejection often says more about the person than the idea.

I miss the vibe of November 2024. It was such an inspiring time.

She’s absolutely right. Pattern recognition, early signals, second-order effects — that’s what separates reactive teams from resilient ones.

We need a new metric: number of disasters quietly prevented. 😉

Wishing you a few quiet hours and zero unexpected bugs today.

100%. Knowing what you’re not great at is just as important as knowing your edge.

Yes — experiments drive PMF. But without forecasting, those experiments either don’t happen or never stop.

That’s what happens when you leave your algorithm unattended — bunnies multiply fast)
