tibomaker vented about spending $100k on windows — a confusing, over-constrained, extremely expensive process — and noted 80% of people in the industry barely use AI, calling it a massive opportunity.
Linus Ekenstam replied that the physical world works differently: windows are versatile, not a git command. His family designed around cheap large windows they sourced, and shared a life hack: contact high-rise construction companies for leftovers or wrong orders to get ultra-expensive materials cheap.
