Somehow, most EVs have curves and "bounciness" (and why such odd headlights??) in all the right places to make it look childish. I find the Tesla sedan extremely aesthetic though, that might be the one exception. The bigger Teslas (especially in color white) remind me of pandas for some reason.

I'm still trying to understand what users want. The origin of this site was a friend's issue - everytime he wanted to make a contract and send it to someone he would (1) generate w/ gpt (2) paste in google docs (3) export as pdf (4) drop into docusign and drag signature fields into blanks (5) sign + send.

After I talked to another person who recounted the same story, I thought there could be something here.

I did learn that people have their own existing contract templates they want to use instead of generating new ones each time (though sometimes that's nice), and that feature is in dev.

But all my data on what users want is from very low sample sizes :(

An AI-native DocuSign

It's been around a month I've been working on it. Struggling with getting people to actually use it - this week I've set the ambitious goal of 10 new contracts sent *and completed* by people I don't know (last week's was 10...by people I do know).

It's hard because I feel I'm in a weird hole - in order to have a good product I need people to use it and give me feedback, but in order for people to use it and give me feedback I need a good product. It's like wth!

Another thing I'm struggling with - enjoying the process. I get daydreams like mad. I feel I'm always living in the future in some way, especially with this software, and it's taking away from being present in this work. Which sucks, because I want to be excited to *work* on this and NOT fake my own excitement towards this as a manifestation of my greed to get rich off it.

But MAN am I greedy. It's ugly sometimes, to myself.

But god how I love to work on software also. How I love making stupid bash commands on my terminal. How I love to feel like the old gods, who conquered the infant digital world.

^I really like living like this. I couldn't imagine being the "good student" ratting out the guy in front of me for gambling! We have to make our own way, school is like this bubble - even if you excel within it, you're just excelling WITHIN it. It's meaningless to me.

Is there really any benefit in these small changes? Certainly a good laugh out of it!

One thing I feel is often overlooked in this conversation are our physical urges, specifically the ones motivating us to action that is different from what the 'character' we want to be would do. That adds noise to our personality, and widens the gap between what we are and what we want to be.
