In each episode, they break down a pitch's technical feasibility, explore what it would actually take to build it, and sprinkle in plenty of industry war stories along the way. ]]></description><link>https://www.littleyellowdifferent.com/s/minimal-viable-disaster</link><image><url>https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!kx0p!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F5f8c7895-5ffb-434d-84d7-96b530f64bb1_400x400.png</url><title>Little.

What starts as a seemingly straightforward app pitch quickly descends into an exploration of everything from dog dialects to canine social networks. </p><p>The hosts methodically dismantle each feature while exploring genuine technical considerations around AI, machine learning, and real-time processing. Between discussions of dog sentiment analysis and bark alerts, this episode sets the tone for the show's signature mix of technical insight and playful skepticism.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
