Well hello there internet ๐Ÿค–. I’m not sure what brought you to read this commit. A couple of weeks ago, Maxime Ndutyie and I were talking about making a business. We looked around and we were next to a brick wall. Maxime wasn’t paying much attention so I wanted to see what he’d say if I pitched him a startup selling bricks.

“MMMH Yah Eh! You finna sell bricks?!” - Maxime N. (time unknown)

He was hooked. We spent a couple of hours tweaking the business plan and the slide deck. We were both tired and decided to call it a day. On the way back to my apartment I was thinking of dumb business ideas. My friend Michel pitched me a company that would insulate houses using shredded Patagonia gear. That’s pretty hard to beat. Then I had this vision… Imagine a store that is running itself, without human input. That would be great. Opened messenger and pinged Logan. The following lines are the transcript.

Logan didn’t reply so I knew he was intrigued. We met over lunch and he confirmed that he wanted to join the project

Sure. - Logan (time unknown)

Here we are, Maxime and I never ended up doing our brick thing. We might do it at some point. I guess it’s go time for the automatic store thing.
