178 - A popup worth thousands


Listen Later

Jem powers through a sick week and sales slump while Justin accidentally nukes his revenue with a premature sale popup. They swap stories about migrating to Obsidian, testing Parakeet voice dictation, and rant about industrial e-commerce still living in 2005. Also: Allbirds going full GPU, Cursor buyout fears, and why keeping credit cards on scrap paper is a bad idea.
