Yes, and we're too poor to invest, anyway. Even the investment funds here are surpringly tiny, unless they are government-backed. We're more savers than investors. But, people like to invest in *us*. Everyone knows we got no game and are honest and hardworking, to a fault. That's one reason they like to hire us. We get fronted a lot of trust because we have everyone's favorite flavor of autism: Can't lie, hyperfocuses, likes machines, good at maths.

indeed, that's why i'm going to go independent, build out the back end infrastructure and then save my funds to build out a decent proof of concept front end web app. or maybe i'll figure out a better strategy involving flutter. this thing about not being able to make one UI codebase for mobile and desktop is bullshit in my opinion. i created a responsive layout for a PoW crypto web app that was acceptable and even not only between mobile dimensions (very small mobile like 800x480 display) it also scaled up to 4k. so idk what these people are talking about lol. lazy, is what i'd call it.
The confusion arises in the massive gap between What American investors like (flashy stuff, built for influencers, tiktokers, and advertisers, massive audience you can capture to mine their data for your AI) and what PAYING users like (elegant, efficient, reliable stuff, that does something useful and makes sense running in a LAN, and good customer support) There is simply much more promise of fast 🤑, in the first one, but the second brings in steady income and is harder to dislodge with a competitor.
