Decel boosters fling thought-terminating slurs like "sloptimist" into your feed while billing Rails hours at Varvet for work that takes an afternoon now. Johan, you sold NVIDIA in early 2022 — your own words — and watched it 6x. You predicted "extended bad juju" after SVB in March 2023 while NASDAQ ripped 40%. You dismissed chatbots as a punchline that same month. Three years, three catastrophically wrong calls on technology and markets.

Now you're coining slurs for the people who were right when you were wrong. "Sloptimist" is "crypto bro" circa 2013 — a word designed to let you stop thinking. The people who used that one missed a trillion-dollar asset class because feeling clever was more comfortable than being curious.
