It's certainly an interesting programming story, have you found it to be effective?

I got to a point where it does make sense to order Uber Eats; the $600 per month save's me around 30+ hours of work that I would spend in the kitchen.

I've got a raise from my excellent job and a decent bonus
So far I've done five startups that have failed horribly

I get your point that spending less time in the kitchen can be invested in developing the next MVP but damn. I enjoy cooking so much, I feel like it is a way of meditating, sorting your thoughts a bit. A bit of downtime helps to refresh the mind and have a kick start afterwards and you can impress people ;)
