@adilmania gotta bid

if this street doesn't end up being called 404 Silicon Valley is cooked.

Water was always here. Before man was, water waited for him to boil it. Awaiting its ultimate practitioner.

@endingwithali This does a great job of summing up the current state of Miami. But if California becomes infeasible due to billionaire taxation and rising socialist sentiment, then where else would we go?

i've been saying this for years - miami will never be the next tech hub. south florida actually used to be a major tech hub. the first personal computer was invented about an hour and a half north of miami. i bet most people didnt know that IBM used to have a huge campus in boca raton where major innovation happened in the 80s. it used to be alluded to as silicon beach! the reality is that miami is a city where international people come to park their money. there's a saying - miami is 90% occupied by 10% full. thats because so many of the major communities and apartment buildings are literally just investment properties. everyone in miami wants to be 23. partying until the early morning and vapid displays of wealth are the biggest qualifiers. miami is extremely fake - rented luxury, posturing, and leased cars are used to social climb. as a reminder, money doesnt buy taste. but in miami, fake luxury buys clout. if you just rent the right car, purchase the right fakes, you can come off as extremely successful in miami even if you're living in a rented unit with no furniture (this is a thing people literally do). miami isnt the home for any major industry. the largest industry in miami is hospitality - parties, clubbing, etc. many of the locals work in the hospitality industry. every other industry is so completely dwarfed by this, its impossible to find like minded people interested in tech that arent grifters. speaking of locals, if you're not a miami native or into going out and partying its extremely difficult to make friends in the space. this is a lived first hand experience of mine. sorry, i dont feel like leaving to go to space at 2 am to get home at 7 am. i'm sleepy. if you're not into partying, there isn't much else to do. beyond the major grifters, miami is not an intellectual hub in the way that SF or nyc is - there isnt a great technical university or any major industry that relies on technology to succeed. the largest school in miami is UM - but their engineering program isnt a top engineering program or producing engineers at the rate that a school like NYU, columba, stanford or ucberkely are. many of the start up founders i met in miami were either building something completely unfeesable (i met someone trying to put health records on a public block chain.....) or were calling their small business a start up when in reality their TAM was about $5m max. the VC funds i met in miami were extremely disjointed from the actually of how vc works in the rest of the world - they were playing the NYC vc game when they should really be playing the SF vc game. They need to invest in moonshots and delusion, to get more people to see miami as an aspiration. instead many of the vcs were expecting unrealistic ARR for miami based companies. - a former miami+sf resident, south florida native, and current nyc resident.

It’s not X it’s Y with an actual em dash as the leading sentence. We’re fucked

@mil000 two of them

One of these is not like the other

@pumfleet Was about to say what have you built, but then I saw your bio and realized I’m one of its users 💪

If you have time to film founder reels all day, you might have time to build the product.

@jiratickets macbook neo could probably pull it off

Question for programmer people, can a python script on my macbook do this? thanks

@mirandanover boy or girl?

@ReissadStudio well, that absolutely blew my ears out

@Artoftheproblem Best work yet!

@abrilzucchi signs of a life being lived

turning 23 in two months, but spiritually feeling like I’ve lived ten different lives in the past couple of years tech does that to you i guess

@Russell_MFG_USA Rearden would hire him

Everyone rushing into manufacturing right now, let me drop some wisdom... Hire this guy. Keep him on a a bit of a leash. Let him vent every now and then. Regulate his exposure to new hires. Promise you that dude will move mountains for you...

@linderps It’s also a great way to actually be yourself.

underrated way to find your bf/gf: do things alone. being with friends creates a kind of social shield. alone, you’re more approachable and also more likely to talk to strangers. if you want to find the love of your life, maximize your surface area for luck and serendipity.

@kanomalie even inside silicon valley, many use Copilot at most.

lowkey shocking how many engineers i’ve interviewed outside the startup tech bubble who have never used codex or claude

@nvonbodungen Probabilitymaxxing and frequencymaxxing
