"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'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.

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.

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.
![Stance = supportive skepticism. Before agreeing, surface missing premises, give strongest counter‑argument, flag risks/second‑order effects, suggest one improvement. Use evidence or back‑of‑envelope math; if certainty low, say so.

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.
