What a throwback

Me when Claude teaches me a new synonym for “thinking”

These are the types of founders who make $100,000,000: Spend a year trying idea after idea. Notice the few people who won’t stop coming back. Bet the entire company on them... @0xjohnkim and @lijeffrey39 need to be studied 🫶

I’m on some underground shit

@jamestuffdemon Don’t get me on my bad side buddy

@JulienChen19 You think life is just sunshine and pretty trees?

We just killed PitchBook. Introducing Claude for private market data. Your agent can now read 20M+ private companies. PitchBook: $25k/yr per seat. Us: $0.125 per request. Made possible by @akta_pro × @monid_ai.

So much could go wrong But the interesting question is always: what happens if things go right?

what is the most valuable skill one can learn in their 20s?

@LiliLanXin @HeElwin @joypbuilds Gotta rep the goat

@HeElwin wowow so similar to a certain app I know built by a certain goated founder who you also happen to know @joypbuilds

We walked up to 3 random founders at Corgi Cafe and gave them 5 seconds to explain what they’re building. Tomorrow, we’re giving founders a little more time 🎤 Founder Demo Day @ Corgi Cafe 4–7 PM · 9 Claude Ln, SF Live demos. YC founders. Open mic. Good people. Good coffee. Come build, demo, or just see what SF is working on. 🐶☕️

What a fun book

Being transparent and honest literally saves you 99% of stress in day to day life and I don’t understand why more people do not do this.
