Big personal update.
My role @stripe is evolving, and I couldn't be more excited. 💜
Most of my career, I’ve been focused on helping founders get paid on the internet.
Now I’m shifting to what happens after.
I’m leading Financial Accounts at Stripe, and I'll be focused on how businesses store, move, and spend money.
Imagine being able to spend your Stripe balance immediately. No waiting a week for your funds to arrive in your bank account.
It just works the way you'd expect money to work.
Still early, with plenty to build. Exactly the kind of problem I love.

@psincraian @BorisBerenberg @stripe @jpmorgan @patrickc @patio11 The cost of collecting evidence for me is much higher than my time is worth
My dispute rate is like 0.3% so that's about $600/month
I'd spend hours in agony collecting the evidence for it and usually lose
Automating is possible though yes

average indie hacker community moment

The other day I opened Threads and I saw @DanKulkov's site model for paid SaaS reviews. Thought it was stupidly simple and good.. Yesterday while I was off, I got Cursor and Codex to build my own. Now it's live: triedbystef.com - Ps. $50 off for the first 20 users The entire thing was done from my phone through Chrome Remote Desktop

I had someone recently ask me about joining @ShopDevAlliance and whether or not it was "worth" it because of some of the benefits like the resources.
They wanted to make sure it'd be a good investment for them if their application was approved.
Very quickly, I said no.
They were really confused that I was very quick to answer that and asked about why I was so sure even if it was something on the website.
In my mind, the way I talk and think about SDA, is that it will only ever be valuable to the people that value community.
Everything else is just a nicety or a thing that happens as a result of the community.
But if you're trying to figure out if SDA in particular is worth it then I would probably honestly say no.
I can't convince nor would I try to urge anyone that community is important. If you don't realize that for yourself, then you will not see the value.

$90k+/month ad accounts are quietly switching to animated “problem characters”
not mascots
not childish cartoons
actual everyday things turned into tiny personalities inside the scene
a cucumber inspecting hair follicles
an onion reacting to a mosquito bite
a drop of oil whispering in someone’s ear
you understand the message instantly without anyone explaining it
the metaphor does the selling before the product even appears
ai creates the characters, stages the scenes, and generates dozens of variations from one concept
one simple visual idea can turn into hundreds of ads across different products
rt + comment “animated” and i’ll send you the framework
