Building a startup in Canada be like!

@VicVijayakumar Okay legend

well, it finally happened. not sure why, since i don't talk about YC (positively or otherwise). i also don't wear blocks like a badge of honor, so this isn't a brag. anyway, best wishes to my friends who applied to YCS24. i wish you well.

@jasonbosco Preach!!!

Company launches amazing product Raises a flashy $50M in VC Hires a bunch of people Adds a bunch of new features (most of which are not relevant to you) Product becomes an enshittified hot mess of features trying to do everything for everyone Company raises prices Company hides public pricing, forces people to “Contact Us for pricing” Startups and small teams can’t afford the product Existing customers get priced out and are forced to move out Company goes public and/or gets acquired —- The tiring trajectory of every VC-backed company WE need more revenue-funded, profitable and long-term (multi-decade) sustainable companies and products that have very little incentive for enshittificstion.

@ESWAT And I’m not sure if “for people that hate IRL” PMF, but it looks like society is trending towards introversion “live in my world” type of lifestyle

hot take: apple vision pro and the like will take off in the next couple of year bc reality kinda sucks / unique experiences are unaffordable as a techie, im both excited and worried about the next wave

@ESWAT I think now that Apple has made XR mainstream, more companies will follow and barrier for entry will be much lower Meta Quest 2 is around $300 and already blows me away

“happiness”

@janetacarr Oooo what kinda game!!

In my free time I've been doing some hobby game dev with Clojurescript I can definitively say the hardest part about making games in Clojurescript is making games in Clojurescript

You either die a tech bro or live long enough to become a surfer
