You need to enjoy a healthy dose of self-inflicted pain and discomfort as the scars reveal the path to winning in this sport. Yet triumph will ultimately reward you with such unparalleled rush of dopamine, that you will always return, ever-hungry for more. #entrepreneurship

When people say #startups are hard, believe every word of it. To earn your spot in the startup hall of fame, you have to cultivate the work ethic of a pro athlete and embrace a border-line delusional determination to weather the daily curveballs.

ChatGPT is getting scary good. As someone who spent a bit of time working on machine learning, I always thought AGI wasn’t achievable within this decade. With enough training by the users themselves using ChatGPT, I think we can get there pretty quickly: youtube.com/watch?v=qbIk7-…

@Chamberlain_Grp It’s been at least 4 hours. Having a status page for your service and communicating ETA for solving this type of issues is expected these days from all cloud applications!

@CBrNoMore We're sorry. We're experiencing a technical issue with our myQ app right now. We're on it. Thank you for your patience.

@Chamberlain_Grp What is the SLA for your MyQ service? It’s been down for a few hours now. Where is your status page advising your customers of the downtime?

Congrats @paraga! It’s humbling to know how far people from our lab have gone. Super thrilled for you and excited to see what you’ll do with @twitter in the new role!

@jmj Nice! Happy 20-month anniversary!

Today, on my birthday, I'm making a second post on my blog. This one is about the difficulties and merits of doing a #startup for the first time. I tried to interleave several personal stories and experiences starting Jetlore into this one. link.medium.com/4AVHkFxHy7

I have recently decided to leave PayPal and I am committed to using the coming months to ensure a smooth transition. Coincidently, I decided to start a blog to talk about #startups, #money, #siliconvalley, and #acquisitions. Here is the inaugural post: link.medium.com/7gsPIk5xp7

@pr0b I liked this summary more than the previous ones. It’s great to see some sort of a summary or key concepts.

My @MercedesBenz lease ended today and I returned the car. I’m quite disappointed with the experience: nobody inspected my car and I didn’t even get a statement proving that I returned it. @MercedesBenzFS I’d hope MB would want to provide a better last-mile experience!
