@catalinmpit Who’s running his socials? It’s truly the most inauthentic tone and writing style I’ve ever read.

I don’t trust this, but I wish it was true.

Sad to see so little iteration in LLM UI. I get they need to be delicate, test and learn, but come on. Where’s the iteration velocity and innovation?

@stevelauda_ Atomic design methodology is making a resurgence

md files with a solid system design is the key

@AdamDraper At $4.99 a medium fry, you can’t afford not to subscribe.

SAAS is not dead.

@ivanburazin Never made this much until after having my first kid.

The idea that having kids kills productivity is pure cope. I know founders with kids who outwork founders without kids. I didn't want kids for a long time because I thought they'd take too much time from the company. It turns out that you actually work better when you have kids. I don't know exactly why, but the focus is sharper, time management is tighter, and the stakes are clearer 🤷‍♂️

bootstrapping vs vc funding

@cantshutupsam Imagine you’re an underwriter at a cocktail party and a hot girl ask what you do… now that’s a cortisol spike.

The underwriting gods have conspired to spike my cortisol

@bykahlil You blocked all your details. Where’s the fun in that?

On my calendar, red = recruiting. That's what my life looks like right now.

Old way: a messaging bible teams were supposed to tap into, but NO one read. (Currently cooking on a new way 😈)

@finbarr *I should’ve said it would change nothing for the people who actually need to start building wealth. Milineals own only ~9% and Gen Z >2%. Alarming considering the age ranges of those demographics.

@dexterdake I guess people with zero money or only debt are priced out. But for everyone else fractional shares make lots of stocks accessible.

I think it's pretty bad that OpenAI and Anthropic haven't gone public yet. There's huge innovation happening in America and most people in this country don't have any access to it. Instead all the value is accruing to big tech and late stage venture funds.

@meaganrgamache Seen this many times and 100% agree. Customer’s make the best products—not the ego or a ladder chasing employee.

The biggest mistake I see new, early/mid-stage co VPs of Product make is thinking that they own the product and wanting to own product decisions entirely. This is not true. And, it's often detrimental to the company and the product. At the earliest stages, product and company strategy are inextricably linked. Any founder worth their salt is going to have a differentiated and unique point of view of their customer, market, and/or product. Your responsibility is to distill that point of view so that the team can understand and build with it in mind — and to refine it with customer feedback and data. Then, bring the founder and the team along with that feedback so that you can build an exceptional product and business. It's not easy or straightforward. It's a role that's primarily for someone who has exceptional judgement and ability to know when to lead and when to follow.

@cailynyongyong I’m a masochist too

born to do b2c but always choosing b2b

Get in a lawsuit. That’s how you GTM.

@naturalbeautyi7 God. Anyone remember the cruise liner coming in March 2019 with the infected?...

@Jason Yeah, but you can get $500k to open shop downtown. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/dow…

San Francisco politicians and their constituents enable this suffering. They are the cause of it, because they can stop it instantly. Today, tomorrow and every one of the last 1,000 days this has happened. Fentanyl is a super drug and we should have zero tolerance for the distribution of it. [ and we should reschedule and regulate the less harmful drugs ]

@intern3tculture At least the demon talks back to me.
