do you have a brick & mortar store? if so, what do you use for managing your inventory? if not, then you might not be the right fit. nonetheless, great feedback if this distinction isn't clear.
> i think the modern indie bookstore tech stack should be bookshop.org doing it's thing + a website with your local inventory. let bookshop sell all the inventory you don't have on hand but can easily get from ingram, and then your unique inventory will rise above in SEO.
Hehe, just participating in POSSE :) Funnily enough the story you're linking to quotes me with pictures of a story I wrote (https://sethmlarson.dev/slop-security-reports) about LLM-generated reports to open source projects.
As someone who doesn't drink alcohol, I get what you're saying. But I also don't judge others for indulging and similarly don't let how I want to live my life get in the way of attending group events. At bars I order sparkling waters, soda, or a non-alcoholic cocktail and don't make a big deal out of it and it hasn't failed me yet :)
I do the same thing however it is still a burden on yourself for no reason other than people don't like "dissenters"
I'd rather focus on hanging out than hiding what I'm doing. There envititable are the "shots" people. (Yeah spit them in your fake drink, or over the shoulder) Its all a bunch of work to pretend to "Fit in" over a very absurd rejection of my harmless preferences.
