we need an art hoe led taste consulting agency for tech guys with no drip. or this could be the premise for a makeover show like What not to wear

@KevinEspiritu @epicgardening hell YES this is awesome

Fun new product launch @epicgardening - a “mini seed shaker” for easy sowing of flower mixes. Just shake out, water, wait…and a garden grows Our product development process and launch cadence is getting SO much stronger than where we were a year ago

@ChShersh skskskks i hope one day you can post ur stories !!!

@endingwithali I’ve never learned so much from just yapping before. You have a talent. Maybe you should have a Twitter account, I feel like you’ll be really good at this.

i literally yapped his ear off about life and coding and work dmitrii rocks!!!

my gut tells me he spent more on lighting, camera, and editing for this one video than he will on security features for whatever this mess becomes

@Clara_Gold if you look at the actual thing the person is building, they're looking for someone to be a mother to a house of techbros. not a community manager

We’ve reached a point where political correctness matters more than being honest about what a job actually requires. It’s ridiculous. I’d hire for the exact same criteria, especially the polemical ones. For a community role, of course I’d want a woman in her 30s without kids. Because that’s what works. Women get more attention, build stronger relationships, are more caring. In your 30s, you have the credibility to host, people trust you, respect you, and engage differently than with someone too junior. And yes, no kids. Most events happen at night, availability is part of the job. Parents, and especially mothers, have that time locked with their kids. That’s reality, not discrimination. And somehow saying this out loud makes you the asshole? Please.

Gifting stickers are a huge part of hacker culture - jokes between friends, community or social commentary, or just something you think is funny (like most of mine). Many hackers design these stickers by hand, pay to get them made, and give them away for free. Whats weirder though is making a sticker of someone’s defcon goon badge and selling it….

@VCBrags Hiring mommy to take care of adult children

“Is a woman (ideally between 25 - 33 years old) and doesn't have children” 🤨🤨🤨🤨🧐🧐🧐

being controversial (eating a david bar)

i will never forget watching the @ColinandSamir documentary of mr beast opening the beast burger restaurant in mall of america. people werent excited for him, they were excited for the prospect of him giving them money. they werent there for him, they were there for the chance to be given a life changing amount of money. the documentary they posted has clips of children straight up asking mr beast for money. not "love you videos they're so fun!" just "can i have money!"

@PeachJars yes ma'am

me, having a yap sesh with the highest level engineer at the company engineer: blah blah blah on the spectrum me: im on the spectrum, but thats a different story engineer: 🤣 😳 ☠️

@KevinNaughtonJr @LowkeyAbu I’ll text you this is insane lol

the meta console is soooooooo painful but yeah basically you need to: 1. set up a tester account that has the new scope you're trying to get 2. send an api request with that tester account with the new scope 3. wait for them to detect the request which will count for your "testing" 4. submit your app to them with video etc showing why you need it at least this is what i've done hope it helps :)

why is the instagram api virtually impossible to use. i now have to send? an api request? and then potentially after maybe 24 hours get approved to use certain parts of the API?

Many YC companies are aligned with these ideas of overinflation. They'll brag about having paying users, but if you look at those users, many of them are YC companies in their own batch. Dog fooding themselves. Having paying users looks good to VCs! It's exciting, but if its basically an ouraboros of money from YC, is your company actually a good idea that people want? or is just because you have access to a user base thats equally as desperate for "paying users" so they can tout themselves as a YC success story.

the desperation to be on 30u30 stems from the idea that you're a combination of those you surround yourself with. even if you're a fraud, you're still setting yourself up to be surrounded by hyper successful people. often the hyper successful people care more about outcome and results, not morals and ethics. but your connections with them will lead you to opportunities you couldnt have gotten from outside of the room. to succeed, even if you're not honest, you need to be in the room in the first place. what are you willing to do to get there? if you never get caught, you never have a problem. Hell, i heard years prior about how nikola (the car company) was actually fraud, and they had no functioning technology. yet it took 2 years after hearing that open silicon valley secret for any kind of action to be taken against the company. Working with Epstein, investing in Adam Neumann, Cluey, and more, are all aligned with this idea. lie, cheat, steal, or put your morals on the line in order to make your want into the rooms where those with money are, and your life will be on a different trajectory. its the same idea of how you're more likely to be successful if youre deemed attractive by society - pretty privilege. You can hope you get there naturally, or you can lie about it (surgery, enhancements, experimental peptides, etc). You can then use this for opportunities you wouldn't have had otherwise. to get into the rooms now, you're going to need to over inflate yourself and your abilities. You can say you raised a round of funding - what does that actually mean. was that just a 10k check from your friend (your friends and family round), or was it a multimillion dollar round from a tier 1 fund. you can say you've had a company exit - but does it really count if your exit was an acquihire, none of your investors got paid out, and your company basically exited at a loss? or did you leave and make serious generational change to your life. i recently learned of a 2nd time exited founder who's returns on their seed round investors was like 1.1x IIRC. like barely any money back. basically an exit to nothing, and an acquihire. i learned from an employee that they basically were desperate for a business model even 5 years after being founded. They had nothing. i know that founder is still going to go around and brag about their second exit. they'll probably try to raise money again for a new startup, because the exit wasn't retirement worthy. they didnt walk away with enough money to live and they still need a w2 to exist.
