Hey hacker news! I wrote this and I’m glad it connected with folks.<p>To answer a few of your comments:<p>Writing is all mine but I had Claude proofread it, in addition to some close friends. Honestly it pointed out some great weaknesses in the original draft.<p>The art is all nano-banana through a tool called flora ai. I’d love to work with a human illustrator for something like this. I can draw, but I can’t paint and there’s an aesthetic here I think it handles better than I would have.<p>Man, it’s amazing that I can get something out there that expresses a vision all by myself. If this were a revenue generating project like an actual children’s book or something I’d love to work with someone that could bring it to life a bit more.

Seems to stretch an one analogy in too many different directions. I guess the point of losing control is the most true.

If I were to add, "winter" is the best time to find snow, and there is enough snow for everyone.
