guiltily putting down my phone to focus on my 4 month old son only to be ignored because he’s lost in intensely observing some lightbulb

@Kitty_Mayo_ omg huge congratulations

I was slow on emails last week

It only needs a few crazy ones to fix a continent… Let's be crazy… I got something to announce: We're launching PROTOTYPE: a new fund, fully focused on Europe. A small fund that punches way above it's size. With it we back what Europe is world-class at: robotics, automation, manufacturing, and anything that requires hard engineering. First check. First round. As early as it gets. Europe invented industry. We're the birthplace of precision manufacturing. The second largest manufacturing hub on the planet. Leaders in automation and robotics. And yet… We sell out our best tech to China. We export our best founders & most of our investment money to the US. That's insanity. What should we do instead? Build the next trillion euro companies in robotics, manufacturing, automation right here: in Europe. Showcase to young founders what is possible and change the system around them where needed. What we will do: → Publish all our fund updates and build in public: updates.prototypecap.com → Showcase Europe’s Most Ambitious Startups on Youtube: @prototypecap" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@prototypecap → Launch & support more projects like @euinc_petition. Enough talking about Europe. Time to build it: Startups, makerspaces, student clubs, and much more. → And most importantly, invest into the best founders in Europe. Same model as our previous funds that are in their top 1-5% cohorts worldwide. We won’t do a VC fund in the classic sense. This will be a community of hyper-ambitious people who want to actively change Europe for the better. It only needs a few crazy ones to fix a continent… Let's be crazy. Check out prototypecap.com!

@matthewclifford Happy birthday!

Today is my 40th birthday! I feel very lucky to have spent the last decade with wonderful family, friends, partners, colleagues and investors - and look forward to what the next decade might bring…

@jaredpalmer @github stacked diffs 🙏

How can we make @GitHub Pull Request and code review experience better?

“AC this, wash dryer that, US woohoo, EU boohoo” - Why are we eating this brand-warfare from the outside about us up? Europe has the strongest precision manufacturing in the world, we have leading teams in AI, CV, robotics. Europe is a leader in Automation and Frontier Tech! Not a single NVIDIA chip could be produced without European machines. Not a single American cloud, robotics, or deep-tech firm would operate without European manufacturing or suppliers. But we are too humble. Brainwashed to never celebrate Europe. By outsiders and our local politicians. Time for a change. Europe is the birthplace of industrialization. The home of frontier tech. Time, we act like it. Welcome to the real Europe! 🔥🇪🇺

@StefanManku liking and commenting just to see what the algorithm decides to give me more of

Me, experiencing 'serious bondage' this weekend in London:

vibe coding is making me feel much better about myself as the ai also makes all the same silly mistakes, soon resorts to trying things at random without properly understanding the problem, and gets totally stuck when trying to fix a missing closing tag

there are people who want to see change there are people who want to see themselves in the story over time you realise these groups overlap but are not the same

@RhysKentish you gotta aggressively mute that shiz (and highly recommend turning off pics/media on mobile)

added twitter to my block list of apps on touch grass today - saw way too much toxicity over the weekend

@RhysKentish could do with watering to be fair

@RhysKentish critical ingredient

doomscrolling glasto livestream picture-in-picture barefoot on my lawn 28°C sauv blanc you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

@tazsingh @vercel clicked to expand media thinking “this best be a pic of taz on a ship..” was not disappointed

I may not have been at @vercel Ship but I’m still shipping 🛥️

@anthonyrose you’re going to solve this, right…?? :padme_meme:

Shocking news from Companies House: they're removing the ability for people to file annual accounts directly and will now force people to use paid providers. It's insane.

rate my setup

@robinwauters @karaswisher @jasonkincaid @arrington @TechCrunch @tcdisrupt it just gets better and better

I really don't know why I never watched the show 'Silicon Valley' when it came out. Don't ask. But. I'm watching it now and it is, of course, awesome! Wasn't even that surprised to see @karaswisher, @jasonkincaid and @arrington make appearances (@TechCrunch @tcdisrupt).

@StefanManku Türkiye! Edge of the Agean

@andyy Divine - where is this?

you can just not do stuff, also 🏖️

psych - actually here i just productively read principles by ray dalio and now i'm going to just do stuff even more

The excitement around this launch and product has been immense! Given all the database products out there, I didnt expect to see such an overwhelming response! 🤯 But, seems like Softr Databases do solve a huge problem for many people - fast, scalable, no API limits, no performance lags. We are live on @ProductHunt today! 😻 #softr #producthunt #databases
