Hello, everybody.

Hello, everybody.

Luke is the perfect developer, let's be fair. No, I was actually going to jump in and say that, like, I don't feel like I'm alone, but usually when you make a mistake, it cascades into more. For whatever reason, I generally feel like you either are rolling along and you feel pretty good about stuff, Or you're just like in a bottomless pit. And there's very little in-between time.

You just suddenly notice that you're at the bottom. So yeah, just saying.

I think that. OK, so so speaking of that, I think there's a give and take there, too. So I think this is one of the this will get into a thing that I care a lot about this particular subject, because for most of my shoot, I still feel it today or whatever. It doesn't really matter. I still always feel this pressure. to not let people know about the mistakes that I made, right?

Because letting people know about the mistakes that I made makes me more vulnerable to them not wanting me to work for them, right? Like fire me, whatever the bad thing is that it's a boogeyman. It's not real. It's just a pressure, right?

And so I guess what I'm trying to get at is like, I kind of feel like one of the things that I always care a lot about with mistakes is telling people about your mistakes. I actually... have discovered in reality actually makes people respect you more, But it doesn't change the fact that it's like really hard. And I still feel that pressure to this day.

Can you talk for just a minute about what was the problem that you were trying to solve? What did you need Akka for?

So, all right. So this seems a slightly, I mean, it's a twist, right? On your classical inventory problem, right? Is what it kind of sounds like. So the way that ACCA came into this is, is what you were taking, like what all these requests from users and trying to decide whether or not you were going to, I guess, give them the coupon or not or something.

Yeah, so did you consider alternatives? Did you reject them for various reasons? And I guess, so obviously, Akka didn't work out for you. So you must have picked something else that you like better. And how did you arrive at that new thing? And what was that, if that makes some sense?

Okay. So it sounds like you had an advocate and that's kind of how you landed on it. Where did you go after you decided that Akka was the poor choice? Like, what did you end up with?
