A game about capybaras delivering food #vibejam. After 2 weeks of crazy development, I've submitted my game to Vibe Jam 2026
Here's the first 4 minutes of gameplay (link in the comments)
In this game, you'll play alone - or with friends - as a capybara delivery driver around the city. Pick up your phone, play some good music, and deliver to make money!!

Why are SaaS stocks in freefall? Everyone is missing one simple root cause: They Just Aren’t Very Good Software Anymore.
Not in the Age of AI.
Let me give you an example from this week. We are still using Marketo for email marketing. It’s a very dated platform but does have scale.
For the last 2+ weeks, the Unsubscribe link has been broken on the emails Marketo sends from us.
That’s a CAN-SPAM violation and one that is really core to what Marketo does.
First, support told us it could not be fixed and blamed Salesforce. This makes no sense. We've literally not integrated them, changed nothing, and send no emails from Salesforce (yet).
Then, we were told the only way we could get on the phone was if we talked to engineering. We finally did.
They first blamed Salesforce. Then they said we were using another email client, not Marketo. Then they blamed Beehiv. Beehiv is cool, and we may use it soon, but we've never used it! Then they said it “must be something you are doing.”
Seriously? For $60k+ a year?
They never committed to any fix.
So we spun up a new unsubscribe link in Replit that manually deletes the record in Marketo.
This is a fail on many levels, yet so many pre-AI companies are still trying to sell $20k-$500k products this way. It worked from 2015-2022 or so.
But no one is going to buy this cr*p anymore when Claude and other AI leaders are just so, so great.

@jacobrodri_ That might be an option that would be fun for a while. However I don’t see us raising a family anywhere but Spain, most goated country in the planet (after Japan 😂)

I took some time to write at blog•rchase•com about my journey as an investor.
I went from no-investing, to day trading, to 401K'ing, to losing $108K in a scam, to real estate, to index funds...
And now I don't do any of that, all I own is 4 stocks that I plan to hold 5+ years.
I'll never own more than 5 stocks at a time.
Very undiversified.
$MCW went private today at $7/share, I bought it at $5.41 5 months ago so +30%.
The stocks I bought were all at really big lows with big risks ahead for the businesses... at least that was or is the market consensus.
But after I did a lot of study for each, listened to every founder/CEO interview I could find, tried to understand the financials, and trusting in my own experience with their products, I decided I disagreed with the investor consensus, so I placed big bets.
My framework for picking the stocks:
• Founder/CEO has meaningful ownership, competent management of the business
• Business model is easy to understand - they make a product or provide a service
• Stock is down a lot due to investor fears that I believe are overblown, multiple is fair value
• I personally use the products and love the brand
• Low perceived downside, the stock is resting at a low point that has been maintained for long periods of time in the past
• I bet big otherwise it's not worth my time

@zilvestro Very interesting! We just dropped our lower tier this week for similar reasons.
But we’re thinking of re-adding it yearly only and perhaps with a modal under our two tiers “Just starting out? Apply for our Starter plan”
English

Dropped churn from +20% to 7.5%!
With one single change.
And you should probably do it too.
Kill your ultra cheap plan!
I didn’t even remove it entirely, I just made it yearly billing only.
Not only did churn drop.
The quality of customers went way up.
The customers coming in now are way more serious about their business.
Cheap plans attract cheap customers.
