   My only feedback is $49 for AI slop feels like extortion at best, and delusion at worst. Don't give up building stuff, we should all be using AI to build ideas because the cost of developing them has dropped substantially. We should not be using them, however, to grift one another.

      your criticism well received. Yes, AI was heavily involved, but the raw python content and core viz ideas grew out of my earlier informal teaching and coaching. The advanced labs add some complexity analysis and animation. And to be honest, the $49 price is just an experiment.

      I dislike AI slop too, but we shouldn't be taking pricing feedback from anyone that isn't a potential customer, unless they are saying, "I wouldn't buy this at 49$, but I would buy it at 19$", it goes straight into /dev /null.

      Also fwiw, 49$ one time is on the very low end for about any product except mass produced (not common on early startups). It would only miss the mark for $/mo in B2C

      If I can't get a customer to shell out 50$, I'd rather mark the idea as lacking pmf than trying it out at lower price points.
