<p>tl;dr: Author author reflects on past experiences and expresses a desire to prioritize and cultivate more moments of fun. Author encourages readers to embrace and seek out opportunities for fun in order to maintain a fulfilling and balanced life.<p>My gripe: Author ignores responsibilities of being an adult. Author is 25 and ignores their privilege.<p>Try having kids, or a mortgage, or struggling to maintain friendships, or dealing with your a loved one's ailments. Life is hard, sometimes you can't make time.</p>

<p>I suggest you work with a copywriter and come up with a better way of presenting windmill.dev. How you're presenting it makes sense to you, because you built it. You know what you mean when you say words like "boilerplate" and "business logic". That has a specific meaning in your head. But it's different for every person in the software industry. To a customer, it's confusing.<p>For investors:<p>> We are a developer platform for enterprise, offering a performance-focused solution for building internal software using code. Our open-source platform allows businesses to focus on their unique business logic while we handle the boilerplate tasks, resulting in high-velocity development and the ability to scale at enterprise levels.<p>For devs:<p>> We are a developer platform for enterprise, providing a system for running code written in Python, Typescript, Go, Bash, and query languages at scale. Our platform focuses on performance and offers extensive capabilities to build internal software, including APIs, workflows, background jobs, and UIs. With a fully open-source and flexible architecture, developers can concentrate on their business logic while leveraging our robust ecosystem for efficient development and hosting options.<p>Generic:<p>> Windmill is a developer platform designed for enterprises to build internal software efficiently. It combines the speed of low-code solutions with the flexibility of coding, allowing developers to focus on unique business logic rather than boilerplate tasks like permissioning, queuing, and front-end development. Our platform is fully open-source, offering high performance and hosting versatility.<p>> Our active community of developer users provides constant feedback, driving our platform's growth. By emphasizing commonly used languages such as Python, TypeScript, Go, and Bash, Windmill serves as a generalist tool without compromising quality, enabling complex functionalities within a production-ready, enterprise-scale environment.</p>
