Notes.

I started calling myself a founder recently. Very quietly. Not because anything dramatic happened. And not because I suddenly became certain that's what I am.

Girl Dinner Mode didn't move in a straight line. It changed shape as I built it. Not once — continuously. Scope creep isn't just a backlog problem when you're building alone. It's a thought pattern.

I didn't start out trying to build a company. I started out noticing patterns I couldn't stop seeing. Design decisions are rarely just design decisions. They are expressions of incentives. Of constraints. Of what a system is allowed to prioritize.
