Lost one of my AirPods yesterday morning while walking to work. Turned an annoying start to the day around with a 🧵👇🏽

@nikitabier Already happening, and accelerating. We built Cloaked for exactly this. My phone number is fully masked, and Cloaked screens every call. It's the only way I stay reachable.

Any founders want to automate going from their Brex account straight to their P&L (Excel / Google Sheets) using AI? DM me!

CEO of Airtable: "Cancel all your meetings for a day, or an entire week, and just go play around with every AI product that you can find. We have all these fruit trees, and there are so many crazy low-hanging fruit. You got literally like massive watermelons sitting on the ground. All you have to do is walk over 20 feet and pick it up."

Everyone wants to be a founder until they realize it means being uncomfortable 99% of the time. And it makes all the difference.

🎙️Big news for @joinallocate! We are thrilled to officially announce the acquisition of The Coterie's platform and assets. United by a shared mission to modernize financial tools for the next generation of investors, we are thrilled to build on the foundation paved by Ethan Agarwal, Jeson Patel, and Christopher Boies. Like us, they deeply believe that responsible participation in the private markets is an important lever for creating financial freedom. But to do this, investors need better tools that drive better accessibility, transparency, and liquidity. Over the past few years, we’ve watched The Coterie team build a standout product and deliver real value to their customers. I’ve been continually impressed by their execution and focus on their clients, and it’s an honor to welcome The Coterie’s technology and users to the Allocate family. While private markets have seen significant growth, they remain far too complex and fragmented for most investors. There’s still so much work to do. With this addition, we’re even better equipped to deliver on our vision: making private markets work for more people through modern, unified infrastructure.

I looked into which companies produce the best product managers by triangulating across a ton of data sources. Here's what I found 🧵

If everyone’s complaining about jiggered visa lotteries… did you know the Iraq War is why New York is overrun by Australian coffee/breakfast cafes? Australia agreed to invade Iraq, and in return got more E-3 visas (11K US visas exclusively available to Aussies yearly).

We understand, Homer. After all, we are from the land of chocolate.

There is something to doing challenging physical exercise (ideally in the early morning). It calibrates your autonomic system so that subsequent stressors of life have less of an impact. This is unlikely to be purely psychological. Calibrate your stress threshold. Every day.

These features are clever. Stops three of the vectors of account takeover!

Here it goes! My best attempt at compressing the last eight years of Gumroad into a single article.
