[product name redacted]: software factory

I’m working on version 5 (or is it version 6 now?) of my fully automated luxury gay software factory. It’s wild to think that two years ago this is the kind of thing I could have done a $10-million startup about. It’s entirely possible that if I had more of that inclination, I could still do a startup about it.

I think about that a lot. I wonder if I’m making a mistake not doing a startup about it.

Versions 1-4 ran at my desktop, and were barely more than fancy skills that I orchestrated in order. Version 5 runs entirely in the cloud, mediated through tickets in [commercial ticketing system you’ve probably though not definitely heard of].

The main reason I’m trying to get it running in the cloud is probably not what you’d imagine. I’m trying to get to a point where I can do my job entirely while walking, because walking is the only form of exercise I don’t hate, and my bones are getting crunchy, and if I don’t start doing a better job of getting out of my office chair Bad Things Will Happen.
