#162You could make money off of this if you are able to pair willing manufacturers to realistic and popular ideas that get generated. It could become a real market place. Hilarious project. Edit: I did both Mouthwash Ramen and Time Machine to the Present. I’m now addicted to this, thanks.
It’s amazing how fast it was to create and sell a squirrel haberdashing startup machine, and I’m encouraged by the reviews so far: https://anycrap.shop/product/create-a-startup-company-that-s...
Think you mean a millinery.

This is what Amazon has been doing for years with Marketplace: check what's popular and then compete on price.
It's also why it's not worth it to develop a hit hardware product, China will undercut you 50% in a month (and probably build it better).

#164refine the product image and type so you don produce hallucinated products and your good to go. i can see this being the future for amazon. why search for a product when they can just make what you wanted and save the trouble of guessing for you.

#166I always thought there should be a magnet to attract dust. Apparently it takes a "miniature wormhole that warps space-time around it" to pull that off:

We do something similar at work. Except usually the dev department doesn't know until handed the project from sales and so the project goals might be entirely unrealistic given the deadline. What do you mean that feature doesn't exist? Well, I sold it to the customer, they have to go live in two weeks and their workflow depends on this feature.
While I've fortunately never had this happen to me, I'd be tempted to say something like, "Wow. Well, I sure hope you don't get fired over this. Good luck. We'll scope it out and let you know how much time we'll need."
Fortunately it doesn't happen too often, and some can be attributed to our somewhat complex feature matrix that differs by regions due to reasons.
On the other hand, in our niche customers usually don't swap software providers often due to integration work needed.
When an opportunity arises, it's usually because the yearly license expires. So we got to either sell it now with a hard deadline in the near future, or wait 5+ years till next time they switch.
So that can lead to sales being a bit optimistic when making the pitch.
