only in sf, your roommate will disappear for 2 weeks and come back burnt out but with a $5m seed round
English
in sf you are always stuck in three toxic relationships:
- your situationship who is ‘heads down rn’
- your startup or side project you are trying to find balance with
- rent prices and that roommate who doesn’t clean
…and you’ll defend all three like they are part of your growth strategy

@PaulBassat The biggest issue is for young people entering the work force, those early years of mentorship/networking build your work life in your 30’s seeing how people work is so critical. Even on the age of Ali I’d argue it’s needed more now than ever.

The state Government thinks it’s a good idea to mandate that employees can wfh 2 days a week.
Leave aside the impact on productivity after our worst decade of productivity growth in 60 years and leave aside how unfair this is for employees who can’t wfh, when did we become a society that is obsessed with mandating just about every activity. It is time for people to tell Govt they are sick and tired of them interfering in everything and depriving people of agency.

Jung said: “The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate.”
Founders on their journey must overcome their inner situation and integrate their shadow.
Only then will they have a chance at altering fate itself.

He needed heroin to be able to sit still and read. So is he still doing heroin? Presumably not. Which implies he's not able to sit still and read.

pov: living in SF in your 20s–30s is basically the Hunger Games:
- the reaping: founding engineers who give up on their founder dreams
- Blue Bottle SoMa is the pregame showcase
- everyone is trauma bonded, no one wins
- Katniss: emotionally unavailable tech bro/sis you keep trying to date
- sponsor gifts: your pre-seed round with $0 rev
- Mission is District 12. no one leaves unchanged
- there’s not much good food

saturday morning:
hosted a 50pp Aussie in SF breakfast and got gifted beautiful flowers 💐😌
English
the 5-person hacker house in SF I live in could 100% be a reality TV show.
in the last 30 days:
- one got into YC on idea he spent < 1 day working on
- started working at cursor. seen him twice since
- invited to dinner at Sam Altman's house
- got heartbroken 5x by the same founder in 6 months
- raised $50m val pre-seed while being sick (hero arc unlock!)
- made a house README. planned marketing to make top 5 houses in SF
- host 'group' dinner dates which are therapy sess in disguise
call it: co-living, co-building, co-traumatized

@VullinghsJ Think we are at a point now where Australia stands up, and moves to a position of greater authority/autonomy and less of a focus on taking advantage/benefiting from others 🇦🇺❤️
English
For the last 20 years Australia’s economy benefited from China’s industrialisation.
Is anyone writing about how Australia can take advantage of America’s re-industrialisation in the next decade?

The winners of this new era won't be the companies with the most advanced AI. They'll be the ones who make AI feel less extraordinary – who transform it from a magical but uncertain technology into a reliable tool that just works. 2/3
English
The AI-native software startups building today will be design-led, blending AI seamlessly into familiar workflows and progressively automating tasks as users build trust. All while consistently enabling user control. 1/3

This is why you don’t tax unrealized capital gains. The cycle of innovation will cease, and the entrepreneurs simply will just go elsewhere.

So I tried to build a tech company from Norway and here’s what happened: 1. Two years of building without almost any money/funding, better part of a year without salary 2. Raise VC and become one of Norway’s first unicorns 3. Face unrealized gains wealth tax bill of many x my annual net salary. ofc the company is loss making and all the investors have preference shares so I can’t take out any money. 4. Call out publicly that this does not make sense. Independent of level, taxation needs to happen when you actually make money. 5. I move to Switzerland because no politician cares/listens. 6. I still don’t get any tangible and sensible answers to my criticism of unrealized gains tax, BUT I do get put up on the “wall of shame” at the socialist parties offices… I’m Norwegian and I love Norway but the socialist politicians are taking the country down a dark path. It’s a real life Atlas Shrugged.

Til now there were two opposing forces acting on San Francisco. It was both the center of the AI revolution, and had one of the most dysfunctional city governments in America. Now there's just the first.

@lufthansa @mparts_ If you look above you replied in regards to the previous persons luggage status. You have outsourced your badge losses to do many companies none of which speak with one another making it very hard. This is a photo of the website you said to check. Where is my bag.
