CURRENT STATUS: Pushing up against the Vercel 250M size limit on a serverless Python function (in my case, app.py for a Flask app). This used to be a 50M limit (which is why I hosted my Python apps elsewhere). When it increased to 250M, I came back thinking, "this should buy me plenty of time". And now, here I am. Going to go through the unpleasant process of sifting through my requirements.txt file and seeing if there are libraries I don't actually need in the deployed version. Or (gasp!), break the project up into multiple parts. Might be a long night.
Holy shit. @tesla Self Driving. Wow. @WholeMarsBlog was right. Even the matrix headlights improved. Waymo is way inferior. https://t.co/FpdBKQlpMB

PSA: Pay the highest CaC possible on Meta. The higher the CaC you can afford you to pay the more scale you'll achieve. Growth comes from a majority of things happening OUTSIDE of the ad account.

Most founders waste time trying to look like they have traction. When traction’s real, you don’t need to choreograph it. It shows up when people return, pay again, and bring their friends. Customers end up doing the advertising for you.
