@MichaelRedd_ All of these platforms with large audiences are pivoting to become lead gen for betting apps. Complexes audience is quite young you would hope that they would act with more discretion but I guess not.

Wow. I think this goes back to NTWRK acquiring Complex. Complex’s time as an editorial hub has been effectively dead since then. It’s all about retaining your attention (mostly via LLM social slop) for live shopping and now, inevitably, live gambling. They want to make money and be profitable and, frankly, editorial doesn’t do that. I’m not mad at it in concept, but like Jacques pointed out, there’s a right and a wrong way to do it.

@nbaschez Truly in it for the love of the game. I respect it. Speaking on building im working on an interesting project that I’d love your feedback on. What is the best way to reach you? Your DMs are closed.

@MaddySukoru i enjoy building so much, would be hard to give that up!

Made a personal site for the first time in ages nathanbaschez.com Memory lane 🥲

@yongfook lol far from it but this guy makes $20M a year, every year guaranteed. The indie hackers you’re referencing who make $1.5M a year a usually lucky to see a 1x multiple upon exit if they’re lucky. Not knocking anyone’s hustle but you shouldn’t either.

@MaddySukoru lol ok big time CEO.

The "sold his soul" factor got me googling his salary to see if it's worth it. The McDonalds CEO makes $1.5 million per year. I know indiehackers making more than that.

@garrytan This aint it.

This is not the happy demo path, Apple or Google would never make this one of their launch videos... it's not what you will hear about in a TED talk, but it's real AI: Doesn't get tired, doesn't ghost A lot to think about in this one

@pitdesi @TheGeorgePu Just another rage bait post vilifying venture capital without an understanding of how early stage term sheets are structured or the incentive alignment baked into deals to maximize a large exit outcome.

@TheGeorgePu I’ve been in >150 companies and never once seen a 2x liquidation preference at seed/A.

Met a founder last week. $30M exit. Featured in TechCrunch. 'Made it.' Raised $12M total. Investors got 2x ($24M) He got $6M pre-tax After 7 years and California tax: ~$2M His employee who joined Google instead and saved aggressively? Same number. Less stress. Better sleep.

@G14Unclassified @nypost Funniest thing I’ve read on this app in a long while

@nypost Fryer oil is brown so it’s probably going to be criminally charged

@JoeHolder_ This is a public execution by the federal government.

No way you can justify this. None

If you voted for this, are trying to justify this, or even acutely in support of this FUCK YOU!

@ghoshal Engagement bait at its finest

An actual startup scam playing out rn, it's basically a superannuation. Company raises $50M+ seed Hires a few ppl to make it seem like its a real company Ships absolute garbage to prove they're working Founders pay themselves $350k-$500k a year forever Put the $50M into a 2.5% yield treasury earning $1M+/yr for free No legal obligation to return the money.

@itsalfredw Looks like a big ad asking for more competition and higher CAC 😅

No lunch breaks for our AEs right now (unless we hire more). They’re busy closing 4x quota. Inbound is nonstop and pipeline is full weeks out. That is a great problem to have. We are hiring Account Executives and BDRs to keep up with demand.

Nothing I hate more in life than a wasted green light while driving. Meaning the cars in front of you for one reason or another cause you not to make the green light. I’m sure there is some business metaphor or learning in there somewhere, just can’t think of it at the moment.

@pitdesi @EconDerek Mostly agree especially when it comes to housing. However, most resources are finite in nature and unfortunately creating abundance in one area means harvesting abundance from another. We are seeing this play out with our current foreign policy.

A year ago, most of you hadn’t heard of the Abundance movement. If you follow me, you likely agree with the core idea: We should solve the supply crisis in housing, energy, industry, and transportation @EconDerek writes more about how to make it a lasting movement:

@zachweinberg The ends do not justify the mean. We are slowly watching a plane crash. This will not end well.

This 💯. See: Turkey. Most recent example. Total disaster.

@benln @joshmohrer @iangcarroll @levelsio @BrettFromDJ @yongfook @marclou If you believe these numbers or that these folks are one person teams then I have a golden bridge to sell you in Cambodia. Some of these folks live folks on this list live on twitter. How can they tweet all day and still serve customers? 🤔

Bullish on 1 person teams • @joshmohrer - $7M ARR • @iangcarroll - $7M ARR • @levelsio - $2.7M ARR • @BrettFromDJ - $1.3M ARR • @yongfook - $950K ARR • @marclou - $1M ARR Who else?

@JSyversen @valhalla_dev @danprimack You’re on the wrong side of this one sir.

@valhalla_dev @danprimack Yeah he definitely sounds like a racist if you dig in. I was just saying the original post wasn’t clearly racist by itself and I doubt Musk was stalking his online content before resharing something that reflected his SA background. That’s all.

Straight-out racism by the owner of this site, and a founder backed by many of the country's top venture capitalists.

Change is the only constant. Not the kind you plan for on a calendar. The kind that shows up anyway, whether you’re ready or not. This time of year always reminds me of something uncomfortable but true: If you don’t disrupt yourself, life (or the market) will do it for you. So instead of making “more goals,” I’m focusing on making more space: - Space to delete what’s no longer working - Space to say “no” faster - Space to look dumb as I learn something new - Space to build the next version of me before I’m forced to Innovation rarely arrives when everything is full. It shows up when there’s room to experiment… and permission to be wrong. My end of year question is simple: What do you need to stop doing to make room for what’s next?
