I assume you got a spouse or parent do all the laundry for you? I’m not sure you realize how spoiled you sound.

Seriously a laundry folding robot excites me much more than a CLI that can generate code. I enjoy generating code myself! I don’t enjoy laundry. Total killer app.

What a weird accusation. I do this myself, it takes like half an hour a week and is actually quite relaxing.

I'm not sure you realize how spoiled people sound who would spend thousands of dollars to replace such an insignificant inconvenience.

  • At the risk of making yet another wrong assumption, that sounds like you don’t have a family?

    Fwiw laundry takes a pretty significant chunk out of my weekend. I wouldn't spend “thousands of dollars” to reduce it but at around the price of a new phone I’m totally in the market.

    • There are four of us. It takes me 5 minutes to gather everything up and put it in the washing machine, 3 minutes to transfer it to the dryer when it's done, and ten minutes to separate it out and drop it in the right drawers when dry. That happens 3-4 times a week. Say 60-80 minutes total per week.

    • Yeah, that assumption is correct. So doing laundry for others as well wasn't really something I was considering.
