@SamPolk @foreverytable Amazing model. I’ve been following your journey for a while now. Congrats!

@ErikTLee I think @foreverytable is different -- $6 per meal, and if you amortize the delivery cost maybe $7 per meal. Way better than takeout.

The fresh-prepared meal subscription space is fascinating. First, the space is crowded -- there are so many tiny, startup meal prep businesses. Second, most of the gorillas in the space have gone down (Freshly) or seem to have disappeared (Sunbasket). Third, even the most successful, like Factor, use this absolutely crazy discounting that seems clearly to destroy brand value and customer loyalty, but clearly has enough ROI to keep working. Funny thing is, in my mind this business should work. Well. Most people don't like to cook. Doordash is so expensive, and you have to wait. Having fresh-made meals in your fridge ready for whenever you get hungry seems great--it's what private chefs provide! Being able to set a recurring order so you essentially "solve" some part of your eating life (weekly lunches, for example), seems a huge benefit. But it doesn't work. Customers churn fast. Why are these businesses so challenged? And what combination of benefits (price, variety, quality, delivery-time-or-style, product offering) would make you subscribe to one of these and stick with it for a year. Or multiple years? PS -- I think Cook Unity has a compelling proposition and does a really good job. Although the price point, like all of these, is high. PPS -- Everytable obviously has a horse in this race, so I'm asking because I really want to know.

@MartinGTobias It’s not really a tooling problem as much as it is a labor problem. They don’t call back because they don’t want/ need to. Not everything is a software issue. wsj.com/articles/plumb…

Sooooo mich opportunity for vertical software in old industries. Today’s pain point HVAC companies. My AC crapped out last week. Called six companies. Two never got back or came. Two of the others send text messages from their personal phones with totals and no supporting docs, model numbers etc. Two used a saas system to send the quote but that system could not take a credit card. The one I went with who is the largest HVAC contractor in the region required me to call the office and manually read my credit card. Their foreman will text me details on start. They are not using software to schedule jobs. Their quote system is not integrated with job scheduling. Soooooo much opportunity still in 2023.

How many millions do you think would need raised to get Anchor to profitability? 🤔

@DavidSacks What if it’s the market dictating how “productive” the employees are perceived to be? Not productivity as an independent metric

The main reason Big Tech companies like Meta and Amazon are reigning in WFH right now is productivity. That’s not the reason I think startups should do it. Startups are not primarily concerned with productivity; their main concern is whether they succeed or fail at all. If everything is working at your startup, then I guess it doesn’t matter much if everyone works from home. But if things aren’t working, it’s much harder to diagnose and fix problems when everyone is in a different location. What I’m seeing right now is that many growth-stage startups are experiencing significant slowdowns for the first time and they are questioning their product-market fit and go-to-market fit. It would be much easier to figure out these questions and realign the company behind a new strategy if everyone was centralized at a HQ or at least in a few Hubs. Since many of these companies are taking cost-cutting measures anyway, now is a rare and ideal time to rethink their location strategy.

It’s time to admit that Remote Work doesn’t work. WFH Friday is a 4 day work week. Full WFH is a 2 day work week. Every interaction has to be scheduled, which means a lot of information-sharing doesn’t happen. Remote is a great lifestyle, not a way to build a great company.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

@thesamparr Never understood the value of “quick thinking on your feet”.

Go to 21 seconds in. Elon pauses for 15 seconds before answering a question. If you're the interviewer or want info from someone, NEVER EVER interrupt that silence. Most people do because its uncomfortable. But on the other end of that silence is often great content.

@YirenLu Not sure how they do it but @TreyHolterman at tennr.com is doing something interesting in LLM

Has anyone experimented with using LLMs for ELT/data transformation? Seems like they would be pretty good at it, given how good they are at other sorts of data extraction/reformatting tasks. But then, ELT pipelines aren't super tolerant of errors.

@NeverPrinter oh?

@ErikTLee Because printer manufacturers think we have no alternative. But we do. chrome.google.com/webstore/detai…

Why is it 2023 and we're still having printer issues.

Goes for any communication (sales, support, etc.)

@matt_slotnick Spicy content. I’m here for it

FDIC should make calacanis getting his deposits back contingent on him never tweeting again. never let a crisis go to waste

THE parental dilemma: already exhausted, must find ways to keep the kid occupied (museums, park, etc.), more tired by the time we're done, spend 1-2 hours unwinding. Repeat. :D
