Ask HN: What games let you simulate running a startup?
I've found leads here and there, nothing that really captures it though - specifically key aspects like hiring, raising funding, and such. I figured if any community knew of good ones I missed, it would be this one!

No shade to the creators as I'm sure the tool is great but if I didn't know better I'd say this seems like an astroturfed effort by WordPress to stay relevant.
Existing AI tools alongside other open-source builders (Puck for React, Primo for Svelte, etc.) equals all the good things about WordPress's "WYSIWYG-ness" minus all the unnecessary bloat that's piled up over the years.

fat (Jacob Thornton) has a great metaphor that makes this simple to understand. Cute puppy dog syndrome.
Someone adopts a cute puppy. A bunch of people like playing with it and feeding it. It gets really big like Clifford. More and more people want to play with it. Not enough of them want to put in the work to feed it anymore. The person who adopted it gets burnt out trying to do so.
We’re incentivized to take as much and give as little as we can get away with (companies especially) “because profit.” If you’re like “but socialism is worse!!1!” just know that you can either parrot that line or fix the problem but not both.

This is a fantastic piece. If you find yourself thinking “okay, so the brain is different — now what? What should I actually do to learn better?” I wrote about this last year.

Good stuff, very to-the-point. For the curious, I just wrote (https://tylerberbert.substack.com/p/breaks) about why rotating task types can have the added benefit of generating helpful ideas and insights about prior tasks.
