Little reminder for those who still take marketing at face value:
If you are paying someone else to use a tool you don’t own, it is not a "technology", it is a "service".
You are not "learning" or "mastering" or "building", you are "spending".

- Has no prior open source experience (but well in "fintech" and "real estate")
- Has a MBA (aka "brainworm diploma")
- Is all-in on AI
That’s exactly the kind of profile the whole community has been waiting for.
