"Here at chimnee, we believe that sleep is essential. That good sleep is better than bad sleep. That data is the foundation for true happiness. That a bed that wiggles you is worth our employees having no bed at all. And we firmly believe the Serta should buy us out so that we can lay off all our employees, take all the money, and start this whole scheme over with sofas. These are our core values."

If you're whackin' it in the trunk, do you keep it unlatched to add an element of excitement and danger that someone might come by and take a lil peek?

I legit drove 52 miles to work each way for a job in janky-rear end Monte Carlo when gas was pushing $5 a gallon. Did that for a year. Not once did I consider living in my car.

You know, because I valued my fiance and pets and home more than I valued min-maxing my commute costs.

You know OP, I can almost relate. When I was younger and really into competitive multiplayer, I saw that I had played 80 hours of a game that I barely enjoyed playing, and I was also sad that I was broke. So I decided to get a part time job instead of wasting all that time on video games. This, like your decision, was terrible. I lost connection with a lot of good online friends, and instead I have memories of getting held up at gunpoint while trying to deliver a pizza in the middle of the night.

I really want an answer on if op has a spouse and/or kids. I hate commuting so I could accept someone else living like OP even if I would never do it myself, but expending effort to not see your kids is not a great look.

40 hours / 22 work days in a month - an hour each way to work? In a WRX? and you have an apartment that you pay rent on, you just choose to live in your car 80% of the time to save 20 dollars a day in gas?

While it is funny that OP is sleeping in his car while ostensibly developing a mattress, he's probably not really developing anything because the startup will likely go under before shipping a single unit and he will have wasted his life for nothing

I believe in the product. I wouldn't be here if I did. I'm advocating for the user experience because better sleep improves peoples lives, and with our smart connected mattresses it's a measurable improvement. I think we're shipping q2 24 at the latest. Just some kinks to work out- like right now if it loses connection it defaults to a deflated setting because the feedback loops cut out. But these things do work!

Love giving data to corporations such as how often I wash my sheets and how many pumps it takes to finish in my wife etc. Thank you for your sacrifice op.

Sexual health is health. Our algorithm does automatically recognize those uses of the product, but recording and retention of that data subset is an optional user setting.

I'm also starting to think this is a bit, I work in device firmware/software and this is like smart device 101. It's has to be smart enough without an Internet connection to do most of its functionality.

Then again givin how many lovely IoT products are out there it's possible this is real. The Juicero was real after all.

A drain on society would be someone that spewed more car exhaust in to the air just to go to an unfurnished apartment where all they do is sleep and drink Soylent. A drain on society wouldn't be dedicated to their work either. In conclusion, do better.
