Raising a family in a college town is underrated. - educated and diverse population - better cost of living than most major metros - generally great public schools - culture/arts/music/sporting events - stable local economy (university is often the largest employer and isn't going anywhere) - usually a sneaky good food scene - big enough to not be bored, but small enough to avoid the hassle of large cities (e.g. traffic) - a unique energy/vibe College towns also in the top 50 of the 2026 Best Places to Raise a Family in America list: Ann Arbor, MI (#9) Berkeley, CA (#16) Boulder, CO (#18) Madison, WI (#19) College Station, TX (#27) Columbia, MO (#31) Lexington, KY (#32) Gainesville, FL (#36) Lincoln, NE (#43) (Rankings from Niche. Take them for what they’re worth. There’s many other wonderful college towns not listed)

I was upset at Computershare so I decided to run a twitter search to see what I could find... I found my partner Jake complaining about them 8 hours before me today :)
Jake@iamjakestream

@Computershare is the single worst company in the financial services world. I don't know why any startup would work with them, but it keeps happening. If you are lucky enough to take a company public, you should do everything in your power to avoid them.

In the SMB world this is called Profit First Accounting and it's insanely easy to do with @mercury (for business or personal).
My First Million@myfirstmilpod

Whoever builds this idea first is guaranteed a $1B exit in two years. @chadjanis just sold Gruns to Unilever for $1.2B. Here is his next top-tier idea that he's giving away for free: The problem: your paycheck hits your checking account, then you need willpower to allocate it. Put 10% in savings, pay bills, invest, whatever. Most people FAIL. The solution: become the distribution layer between direct deposit and your bank account. Before the money hits your account, it automatically splits: 20% → taxes (sitting in money market until tax season) 25% → rent/car payment/bills 15% → investments 10% → savings What hits your checking? $500 for groceries You never see the full amount. You can't fail at budgeting because there's nothing to budget. This works for businesses too. Founders want guaranteed profit extraction. VCs want forced financial discipline. Everyone buys. The infrastructure exists and the market is waiting. The first person to build this is getting acquired in 24 months. @thesamparr @ShaanVP

1/ Today @Mercury received conditional approval from the OCC to establish Mercury Bank, N.A. I started Mercury in 2017 to build the bank I wish had existed as a founder. Nearly a decade later, we’re getting there. 🧵

@thdxr Yeah I've done this on and off for years. I'd argue the external impact is non zero though when done well. It allows other teams to go faster, often improves performance, and occasionally leads to solving subtle bugs (that someone may or may not have hit yet).

are there people out there who just want to refactor every day? just wake up and find the worst code and just chip away at it and clean it up wake up the next day do it again, infinitely improving things with zero external impact?

Amazing comment on my OCD vid. Just such a genuine encouraging message paired with an "oil that body up" finisher. A truly perfect combination of words, you have to admire the chutzpah to so casually throw in such a dastardly sexual ending line. Masterful work

@anothercohen With every kid, my capacity to experience joy has grown. The peak difficulty is harder (when everyone needs something from you at the same exact moment) but the day to day has been easier for us ~(6/4/1).

I'm tempted to say that the first agent-native programming language hasn't been written yet, but any such language would face a massive disadvantage in the form of a tiny corpus for agents to learn from Actually I think this is maybe true of new languages in general

The main argument for dynamic typing in languages like Python is developer velocity and even if you accept that argument for humans I don't know if it's true for agents Maybe they need something else to be their best, maybe static typing, maybe something else, not really sure

@ryanzip There's a long history of accessibility tools making their way out into the mainstream: curb cuts, typewriters, electric toothbrushes, etc.

@MichaelFKane My firstborn only slept through the night twice in the first eleven months of his life. Still worth it, but really glad his sister started sleeping through the night almost immediately after her birth. I had outlier children in both directions.
