... really underestimated how hard it would be to pick one. Before launch, I was considering things like: Will users trust something that processes their messages with a model they have never heard of? What is the real uptime record, versus the claimed one? Do I go cheap/free , or pay more for something that will last longer? Self-hosted? Or just ride on someone else s frontier model and take their roadmap? I took a solution and moved ... ... itself was the problem. It turns out it was being decommissioned that October, and apparently a silent outage is how that gets communicated. I re-engineered the architecture to always have a backup model running in parallel, which quietly nibbled

... grew up in Mumbai and actually knows where to find decision-makers here including founders who don't exist on LinkedIn at all. But that's a hard one-liner to explain, so I just say "91% accuracy vs 60%" and move on. Comment from Imed Radhouani(@imed_radhouani): @malani_willa  You are right.

I'm building Nibble, a recall and food safety tracking app. Before I started, I looked at how people actually find out about recalls. The answer was: they don't.
