I'm personally a fan of the ones that help me decode secret messages or store small amounts of poison, but I see your point.

I have begged founders to tell me who they're actually optimizing for, because if it's for the VCs or for short term over long term revenue or for an acquisition, I will design something different. Sometimes the survival of a small company requires that. I need to know the real customer.

It also occasionally just doesn't work if the real reason they're doing something is "the VCs/CEO told me to do this other thing" or if they are fundamentally irrational about their own vision. Incredibly frustrating since they'll often lie about those things!

My plan is to run it again but honestly it depends on how many folks sign up. Is this a time zone issue or is that day just bad for you. I had a plan to also do a Euro friendly time zone one although I'm less familiar with publishing in other languages.

The Cinnabon one is ghost. I'll have to try some of the others too, especially now that my husband has also tried the Cinnabon, so I expect my stash won't last very long.

It always seems like such a good idea right before you say yes and right after you're done and at absolutely no point in between.

Yes, there is a reason I have a tiny panic attack every time I consider getting a job.
