A simple common-sense framework for first-time founders. Have I missed anything?

Agree, yep. ("persiflage," what a good word.)

Hahaha yep, good eye!

Interesting, thanks for pointing it out. Most of the history I read always pointed to 9th-century Ethiopian Sufi priests/ monks as the first frequent consumers of coffee. But I agree that using modern-nation names can be misleading.

I agree with you about using modern day nation names being confusing, but just as a correction it would be the Adalite Empire at that time, and the King of Ifat, the precursor state to Adal, was the one who brought coffee to Yemen when he was in exile. Before that local sufis would chew the fried bean as a sort of trail mix, as they still do,

Never heard about chewing fried coffee beans before. Fascinating. Thanks for sharing the recipe also...will perhaps try making it on a weekend.

Yep, some lists I checked rank coffee as #2 but most don't; however, it's in the top #10 most of the time.

#2 by weight, not number 2 by value.

Hah, I didn't know that fact! Thanks for sharing.

Pretty mind-boggling how ChatGPT wrapper apps built by dev houses in Poland are absolutely crushing it, while Pi failed to gain any traction despite raising billions.

Have not heard of these. Where can I learn more about them?

More mind-boggling they raised billions to do something any LLM can do with some prompts (be more personable)

Which?

examples please

Stumbled on this incredible resource today: tons of interactive data charts to play around with.
