Is Colin’s recklessness a fake act, like Electroboom, or is he really as reckless as it seems? I’m not sure I’ve ever really figured it out, and for some reason it makes it hard for me to watch. I guess obviously they wouldn’t publish a video where something goes horribly wrong, though.
Another one if you want to see some real recklessness is "I did a thing".

#72Colin will make you a pizza while he's delivering it: https://youtu.be/YjyJRTM0knE?si=fes2lbRntUlciPSH
You laugh, but the concept of this funny YouTube video was the actual business model of a SoftBank-backed startup that raised half a billion dollars [1]. The crucial flaw in their otherwise ironclad plan was that the pizza had a tendency to fly around and lose all its toppings when the truck went over a bump in the road.

#73Software, cycling and pizza. Some of my favorite things in life. This project and write-up was thoroughly enjoyed, and has inspired some of my own similar ideas now! Cheers

#74- just call up using hands free - have a friend do the call, and message them to trigger it
Also he keeps referring to "delivery" but it's actually pickup, no?

They need that tech tanks use to keep their gun level, that multi axis gyroscope thing. This is the sort of tech crossover that could make military spending more acceptable.

His cellphone uses GPS and connects to other computers over the internet using TCP/IP, but I guess you're waiting on pizza gyroscopes to see any valuable tech crossover relative to this project.

Isn't that the point of serverless though?
It wouldn't have worked regardless of what they ran it on, it's the runtime that terminates.

#79Very nice. A 21st century take on pizzatool . https://donhopkins.medium.com/the-story-of-sun-microsystems-... FWIW, there's a pizza restaurant, Waypoint Pizza in Tiburon, which if you ask nicely will deliver on the water in the San Francisco Bay. This comes in handy during weird less serious sailing races like Three Bridge Fiasco .
how much does that cost if a normal pizza delivery can cost $5-$10 extra?

#80Dean Karnazes did this in an ultra running race minus the tech. He rolled the pizza up like a burrito and ran with it: https://gffmag.com/the-raw-endurance-of-ultramarathon-man-de...
Endurance running is really just eating.
