Tenerife, a little over a century ago.

A chimpanzee named Sultan wanted the bananas outside his cage. He had two bamboo sticks. Neither was long enough.

He fiddled with them for a while, stopped, then slid the thin one into the thick one. Long enough.

Same two sticks, only joined. Psychology has a name for that moment: aha.

We make software so it happens a little more often.

Two things in the making.

Mochi

A cat that lives in your Feishu group and reads your GitHub.

Someone asks, “Is this live yet?” It goes through the repo and comes back citing its sources. When the group settles something, give a nod and it files an Issue with an owner. At the agreed time, it reports back to the group.

Runs on your Mac, with your own ChatGPT.

A canvas that opens beside the page you’re on.

Start at an a and it’s aha. Keep going and it turns into haha. Getting it and laughing out loud were never far apart.
