I'm really happy. :)

The convergence of foam and Counter has itself converged with Abe building out ████, such that I'm getting to factor Abe's movement there into the calibration I'm doing with foam and Counter. The timing is really beautiful. I know how this works, I know how to work with how this works, and it's still beautiful, every time, every time, every time.

I'm sitting in front of a Madeon concert poster, from the Good Faith era. I leaned back and to the side to get a good look at it, just a minute ago; the last line of text reads: WE WILL FEEL LIKE THIS FOREVER

— and oh! I put myself on no-coffee-no-alcohol until Counter was shipped. Today I gave myself coffee. Counter's gotta ship today, I guess? :D :D :D

good good good

I gotta say it feels strange to put pen-to-paper with my product intuitions (nodding to the pun, shelf-product and mul-product, pun not intentional though), aiming at the Counter user's journey, and find them mapping precisely here. feels strange because we're working on both sides of my own phenomenological decorrelation horizon. ... which took a lot of work. and time. and face-loss. but here we are, a mathematical underground to beyond the horizon and back, being able to construct a proof-backed user journey was always the point, giving people a physical-as-in-physics handle on their own information-theoretic bedrock so they're not noclipping through their own structures like ghosts who can't feel walls

ohhh my god

I just realized - hilary duff’s music took the emotional load off for me in high school. I think my experience at that concert was me re-processing all the stuff that her music let me defer until later 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲 okay go team, truly thank you all for supporting me, wow, ideal safe company for draining all that energy

this doesn’t feel surprising at all to me, like I knew that and I love you 🫂🫂🫂🥰🥰🥰

I either reverse-engineered the persistence layer of reality, or I engineered an interface to it that it recognizes on sight

both halves of that are necessary
