Once, I told a librarian that she'd be out of a job because all books would soon be on the internet. I was 8. San Francisco via Chicago via Costa Rica.

My 2024 reading list is finally up — only 8 months late. This year: People vs. systems; how media & tech mediate life; the ethics of knowledge & progress; belonging & otherness. A mix of fiction, history, memoir, philosophy, and big ideas. faingezicht.com/articles/2025/…

Catching up on my photos, here's a set across SF, Chicago, Vancouver, Napa, New Hampshire, and hikes around Northern California. Link to the blog in the next tweet. Enjoy.

Bullish on the potential for simulated agents to not only test behavior but also interactions - we are still in the earliest stages!🤖

@vboykis your Antidote came in through RSS, and it made me smile. Came here hoping for a tweet to reply to, but I might be too early! Either way, thanks for writing.

New post. Way more personal than my usual essays. It's about perspective, how we discuss risk in the SF tech bubble, and how small that word feels next to real leaps of faith: migration, loss, rebuilding, and stubborn forward motion. Link below.

Thought this would be a fun hack for Instant! After you finish the game you can see how everyone else voted too

I don’t think you can have like 15-20 names as tier one, maybe 3-5. Historically sequoia, benchmark, maybe a16z. You should make a ranking game where if the premise is that you get term sheet from each of these funds, all things being equal do you pick this firm or this other firm and see what the founder preference is.

Fund accounting sounds boring until you realize it’s the system of record for who owns what, when, forever. A weird mix of distributed systems and finance. Exactly my kind of problem. For the follow-up, what would you want unpacked? Data model? Time travel? Audits? Edge cases?

What's the hardest part of building financial infrastructure for VC? It's not the scale. It's that the past keeps changing. Lawyers amend terms retroactively. Accountants revise their understanding. Memberships get split in divorces. @avyfain wrote about how our eng team makes it bulletproof anyway → angellist.com/blog/the-datab…

@kiandouz @pitdesi This. Best pizza in SF, though Angie’s around the corner from you is a spiritual descendant and nearly as good.

@typesfast @_willcompton 100% agree on Chongqing Xiao Mian, but you want the Dan Dan Noodles. If you want to go a bit fancier, Z&Y. If you can, go to the OG, not the Peking Duck one across the street.

@rohindhar That makes sense, but why is that only lifting the SFH market? You’d expect condos, particularly those outside of downtown, to react in tandem.
