> In business theres a term called “Total Adressable Market,” or TAM. This is basically everyone in the world who could buy a product in a given category. What’s the TAM for a product like fishing rods? Well, that would be everyone in the world who likes fishing...

The bit about cutting out Spanish entirely suggests this is not a lesson in maximizing one’s TAM

YC startup idea:

AI generated-articles designed to give computer programmers dopamine hits when they get to correct a small error/issue/discrepancy.

Like Zyns but distracting.

Maybe it’s like a reward. Fix a tough bug and your manager sends you an article where you get to point out that the author is incorrectly using “strawman fallacy.”

Thanks. That's what I found via Google but I don't use them so I wasn't sure of the connection and that it wasn't some app or library that the kids are using these days that I hadn't heard about.

Nah, just a physical item representation of "single serving thing that makes the happy neurotransmitters"
