Hacking community discovers retail arb 😭
I found this group of schizo money nerds who unironically stalk large retailers (programmatically, hopefully) to discover errors in pricing.
It turns out, large retailers make mistakes when pushing things to prod (sometimes). For example, Walmart made a mistake and currently selling 12 pairs of jeans for $17 online. The individual pair of jeans should be $17.
Why are there so many apps to "help you ship AI-powered products".. i.e. lovable alternatives. Is the bar for innovation in this sphere really this low?
This is y openai loses $5b a year 😂😂😂
to win:
-> build up momentum in whatever you’re doing
-> reach crazy levels
-> take a step back and realize this is not the highest leverage play of your newly developed skills
-> go all in on a higher leverage play
-> rinse and repeat
“Indie hackers” see this and decide to exclusively build within SaaS, building apps that arb very tiny workflow inefficiencies, then wonder why they don’t see success. You’re building the same thing as thousands of others and selling to the same bubble of ppl on X.

Just ship it.
pursuing trading as "career" is probably most ev- life choice one can make.
- you will not meet ANYONE;
- you will have to live in your own egotistical delusion to fuel your conviction in making unsytematic bets;
- your happiness rises and falls with $. this is rly the only KPI
it is time to become the next sbf.
