@RufusTFireflyJr @AgustinLebron3 Gotta hit him with the “I really hate people who try to engage in small talk on the elevator. How well can you really get to know someone in that time. Truly the worst don’t you agree?”

@AgustinLebron3 I used to work in the same building where Seinfeld had his office. Saw him often in the elevator, he always wore sunglasses and a Mets cap. Knowing his dim opinion of people, I never spoke to him. One of my colleagues was dumb enough to try to make small talk in the elevator

@DeepDishEnjoyer Saw posts showing other historic ipos leading to the dot com peak saying spacex wasn’t going to be the top. It can’t be the market top it’s too obvious which is why no one expects it making it not obvious and a valid top

There are a few things that I look back on as my mistakes in the early days. Quake was overly ambitious technically. We could have done all the great multiplayer and modding work inside a Doom++ engine, allowing the designers to work with a more stable base instead of rug-pulling everything out from underneath them a couple times. The follow up game could have then brought in full 6DOF environments and characters. I pushed everyone too hard. I didn’t appreciate how maturing companies need more slack, and that running people at startup intensity constantly will wear them out. Quake was also where I really had to accept my personal limits. I was working pretty much as hard as humanly possible, and I was still slipping past my goal points. On all of the founders’ shoulders, our original corporate stock arrangement and buy/sell agreement was a mistake, and resulted in bad incentives. We wanted to ensure that all ownership rested in the hands of people working hard on current projects, but the Silicon Valley standard approach of vesting stock would have worked out better. One real problem that I don’t accept the blame for is that we were insisting that level designers be not just game designers, but also have strong visual design esthetics. They needed to make things that not only played well, but looked awesome, and it got more challenging as the technology provided a richer palette. Romero covered that well, which set our company expectations early on. We should have figured out how to pair up artists and designers earlier, but there was infighting among the designers, and the ones that could manage the visuals were happy to disparage the ones that couldn’t. Sorry, Sandy.

How Quake ruined id Software. There has been a lot of praise of Quake of late, with its 30th anniversary, and it's deserved. Quake is an amazing feat of art, programming, and design. I worked on it, and everything came together almost perfectly from all of us. We ended up with a free-wheeling, frenetic action game with enough of a visible world to grip the imagination. All the team did a brilliant job, fulfilling tasks just right. But at a grim cost. We worked long and hard, and I think it broke us spiritually. 1/3

Hey. Have you done any deep dives with any experts about whether the cartooning of genz as nihilists who believe betting is their only path to a decent life and the losing has no downside. I am admittedly very out of touch and my own genz children and their friends and colleagues simply don't have that world view. But it's clearly a stereotype and something I would like to really understand. Have you done any interviews on genz gambling facts and fiction?

"There's a lot of shady stuff happening, it feels like." Atreides Management's @gavinsbaker worries about the "bottleneck bros": "Until the bottleneck bros and AI came along, there was not a lot happening in public small-cap land." "It does feel a little weird to me that you can have a large following on social media, outline your thesis in a $35M market cap company, and send it up like 1,000%. There's a lot of that going on."

Now that I'm an old man, I sometimes struggle to distinguish between real memories and what I hallucinated. So glad that @luogl got another angle to confirm that this indeed actually happened while in the Changan dealership

Paul Tudor Jones, always working, always trading, always hustling! Love to see the dedication and passion always exemplified. Maybe it was his wife calling him 😂, but I’m going to believe the story that he remains knee deep in the business, regardless of what he’s socially doing.

My working theory is that every time a new model gets released, everyone rushes to claim that it's either better or not better than the previous model, but in fact no one really has any basis for knowing one way or the other, and they're just reflecting their personal biases.
