"Moat" comes from Buffett. From his 2007 letter: "You can count, though, on the moat of the Mayo Clinic to endure, even though you can’t name its CEO." So, a culture of excellence can be a moat, but I interpret "doing it better than everyone else" as more ephemeral. Maybe I'm splitting hairs.

I was adding an /about page to my experimental SEO site of random object generators, and decided to have some fun.

Overall, I'm happy with how the first football season is going so far. Starting to see a liftoff in traffic🚀

Some of the direct traffic might have been coming from this video too.

I'm not able to directly attribute traffic to the Reddit post (I guess I need to include utm link parameters in my links?), but I did see a spike of 70 "direct" traffic first users on the 5th which is probably mostly Reddit.

I learned my lesson and asked for permission first this time. Thanks to the mods of /r/eagles for letting me post!

Working out too: setting a new site traffic record of 17 visitors in last 30 minutes (previous high was 8)

I was excited to try sharing this project on Reddit on the first time, but my post got banned. Whoops!

🏈 Just launched ImperialismMap.com for the new college football season! 🏈

Arizona 🐱 leads with 3 territories after beating Hawai'i 🌈, who had already claimed 2 territories from their Week 0 win over Stanford 🌲.

Weird reoccurring bug with Claude Sonnet 4 in VSCode Copilot Ask Mode where it refuses to help because it thinks it "can only help with creating directory structures for projects".

More games and less teams compared to football means that eventually the whole map consolidated to one team. Happened on March 27th when the Bulls beat the Lakers. Not sure if I should develop a new way to handle this, or if it's just part of the fun.

Just in time for the end of the NBA season, the NBA map is now working on ImperalismMap.com

Claude agrees with me that it's a good idea.

I have this in my "What traits should ChatGPT have?" customization, and I've found that it usually works pretty well. Obviously, it's not really what you're asking for though.

Claude Sonnet 4 one-shotted an SVG bug that no previous model had been able to solve.

Got a little smug when I told it this. (The MDN page doesn't "literally" say that).

Bizarre breakdown by browser as well, although I'd imagine there's strong correlation between Edge and Bing users.

My new site www.imperialismmap.com (still a work in progress) has an interesting traffic source pattern. More traffic from Yahoo than Google! Starting to get ChatGPT traffic somehow too.
