gem while reading David Deutsch: "ideas that survive over the long term optimise for self-propagation, not usefulness." just because it's 'survived the test of time' doesn't necessarily mean it's true. the two are just loosely correlated.

@levelsio venture has a place for venture-scale ideas IMO. you can afford dope dev / design teams to create an awesome product + while you pivot around to find PM fit. it just shouldn't be a default by any means.

@Erwin_AI @bunjavascript pnpm is longer to type, these aliases really help. and that's kinda it. you get faster download speeds on everything, saves tonnes of disk space (bc it uses symlinks instead of downloading a copy of each package every time), and a much nicer experience overall.
