For real. The bullet-point summary at the beginning with a "Why this matters for..." immediately followed by, "This isn't just a theoretical exercise—it's a real example of..." Dead giveaways.
Wild to ask, "Is it legal, ethical, responsible or even harmful to build in this way and publish it?" AFTER building and publishing it. Author made up his mind already, or doesn't actually care. Ethics and responsibility should guide one's actions, not just be engagement fodder after the fact.
I love Go! Been streaming it on Twitch for the last five years or so (https://twitch.tv/mirthturtle), lately as a "Go airline" (MS Flight Simulator & Go simultaneously). There is an engaged community in the Twitch category, if you are looking for Go friends, but still, nowhere near as large as Chess.
Their "People love our replies" section shows a bunch of RandomWord-1234 accounts giving positive feedback. I wonder if those are included with the service.
Found one on iMessage! Wished former coworker a happy birthday, and it said, "Siri found a birthday: March 1". Though when I pressed update, it correctly marked it as the 29th.
Unpopular, at least compared to cars: e-bikes.
- costs next to nothing to charge

I love Mod Archive! Managed to find 99% of my favourites from the 90's on there... though they don't provide a way to play a list in sequence, so I made one for myself: https://www.mirthturtle.com/crunchy-reliable-beats
Ironically it's been unreliable since HN traffic started crushing Mod Archive.
I don't think the math works. $5k + $500/m, for 6 months: that tops out at $160,000 yearly revenue for the 20 projects. Even if it's the same 4 employees spread across all projects, that's $40k yearly salary each as a base. Sounds bad!
It'd take years for any winning bets to pay off and I don't know how you'd pay your employees.
Someone tried this a while back and it didn't go so well: https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2021/03/02/recipeasly-fo...
One of the best MODs ever! It's on rotation at the player I made to listen to my MOD Archive favourites (https://christiancodes.github.io/mirthturtle-modplayer/) & I'm always happy to hear it.
