There’s a short story by Ted Chiang called “The Truth of Fact, The Truth of Feeling” that addresses this idea. It bounces between a story written by a future journalist about always-on retina cameras, and historical fiction about the introduction of writing to an oral-only culture.

Not every book in a library is meant to be read like a novel. Some books need only be referenced, briefly and periodically.

Re:I baked a pie every day for a year and it changed my life

I’m of the belief that doing just about anything every single day for a year will change your life! A key for me has been to “lower the bar” so that I can keep the promise to myself and maintain momentum through days of low energy or enthusiasm, e.g. playing the guitar for 1 minute, or writing 1 sentence.

That’s not what this is about, it’s about access to dealership level diagnostic software.
But you don’t have to wait for the farmers, you could “get Claude to code an entire car software and flash it onto your own hardware and put it in your car.” Post back here with your results!

Re:How do founders demo real product without exposing sensitive data?

Surely real product with fake data is the answer. Fake data doesn’t necessarily mean “silly” data e.g. names like Larry Llama or myfaketestwebsite.com. There’s no reason why your real product running on sandboxed data should hurt your credibility.

Why should they if they’re buying some commoditized item on amazon, for example? I bought an ergonomic ice pack for my knee this morning, something I couldn’t find in the store near
my house. Why should I scroll past the first, cheapest, decent looking item that meets my
needs? As a moral duty, perhaps. At any rate, advertisement doesn’t necessarily mean scam.
