@KingVelesI bro built a wall to repel invaders and was fulfilled

No matter how much you love gaming (I sure did), you'll probably regret the time you've spent on it one day. Sure, you can cope by telling yourself you are "learning stuff", "increasing your problem-solving skills", "improving your reflexes", etc., but deep down, you know that's BS, as I did in my gaming days. Once that screen goes dark, you have NOTHING to show for all the hours of your life you've poured into it. They're gone forever. Sure, you got some cheap dopamine out of it. For a minute, you felt that sweet sense of progress and accomplishment. But that was merely fake progress and the illusion of accomplishment. Back in reality, you did nothing but sit in a chair while moving pixels on a screen. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of hours poured into mastering a skill that is completely inapplicable to anything in the real world. Had you devoted that time to a worthy skill instead, you would've been a master craftsman, artist, athlete, musician, you name it, by now. It's not too late, though. You still have a choice. You can keep whittling your life away while moving strong, intelligent, capable, and impressive characters on a screen, or... you can become one of them. Choose wisely, for time is the stuff life is made of, and you have less of it than you think. As a former passionate gamer, let me tell you: There's far more joy, accomplishment, and fulfillment to be found in the real world.

@jparkjmc Disagree if you do anything other than software 😀

500k is an astronomical amount of money btw if you can't figure it out with that much money you won't and don't deserve to do with more

New years resolution: design, build, fire a liquid rocket engine Coming soon

@DenverRayburn It’s really fun too because you get to work on hardware, control logic, and watch drivers do all kinds of crazy moves Ask me how I know 👀

@michaelxbloch I’ve actually been downloading steel this whole time.

@Maestr0Mike @CrypticTW @Jumble_CS2 you gonna let him do you like that??

yo @CrypticTW roomba me out B

Two years ago today I would have been sitting at a traffic light questioning the behavior. Now I am reading my old code questioning my own control logic as I watch our corridor do its thing😂 2026 will be our year. Grateful to our amazing investors and @ycombinator for backing us on building this. Green lights everyone!

@phroo Solving traffic. Can confirm very difficult. But not due to the tech. Working with gov is a different beast

Most difficult ways to get rich: 1. Accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy 2. Make humanity multiplanetary 3. Solve traffic 4. Build the highest bitrate human x computer interface 5. Understand the universe

Suddenly, you’re 26. Out of college now. Got the new corporate job. Apartment in the city. Met a girl and it’s getting serious. Joined the pickleball league. You’re happy. It’s everything you wanted, right? The steady paycheck, your own crib, no more useless schoolwork. But every morning lacks excitement. It’s already mundane. 40 more years of this…wake up, 9-5, gym, netflix, die? But it’s everything that “younger you” had hoped for. Or was it? At 26, you feel different. Feels like a blank canvas…on your own, no parents, no teachers, no responsibilities. Your life is now solely based on your decisions. All on you, kid. My advice is to play big…and play big right f*cking now. Because next thing you know, you’re 45. In the same city, same job, same bars…thinking “if only I would’ve”. So pick up the canvas and picasso that sh*t right now.

can we halt the successposting until AFTER having a working business model instead of upon getting funded 🙏

@jparkjmc More than 1 😂

@PoisonC_S surprising amount of rank g people in yc isnt that crazy

valorant -> coding is a real and legit pipeline

We are excited to partner with @Nvidia to bring @Starcloud_Inc1 data centers to space! 🚀

Accidentally said "you all are status obsessed hollywood wannabees" instead of "you're literally building the future bro" and they kicked me out of SF

Counting down to Starship's eleventh flight test. The launch window opens on Monday at 6:15 p.m. CT and weather is currently 80% favorable for launch → spacex.com/launches/stars…

@sporadica @martyrdison Unfortunately it gets squashed along with the bugs 😂😭

@martyrdison this is why everyone needs one long term relationship in adolescence to work out the bugs

i feel bad for people who kiss badly there’s no real recovery from a bad kiss it’s one of the hardest things to ever give someone feedback on or teach to be better it’s a hopeless endeavor and should not even be attempted

@ggsarzi Fever dream seeing cs and startup memes in the same post

a little too dystopian if you ask me

@MaestroMJ3 You can’t just steal my catchphrase

he said ez

Grow a startup, gym 4x a week at least, maintain one hobby. Is there enough time in the week to pull this off?

@elonmusk @grok Lock in bro we gotta go to mars

Imagine with @Grok
