I've invested in 233 companies and Signed tracks 'em, ingests investor updates, triages leads, diligences new startups, and all this other stuff I couldn't do before; makes me giddy to use it, lol. Dogfooding rules. Beta's now; waitlist is now open: signed.com

> US debt surpasses $39 trillion, adding $1 trillion in 5 months remember all these republicans who keep insisting they’re the party of non-interventionism and small government?

@devahaz nightmare blunt rotation

Elon, Andreesen, Sacks, Ackman, Chamath, Vivek, on and on, I remember when for all these guys it was critical to elect Trump because our national debt was a crisis and existential threat to the future of America only he would tackle. Don’t hear so much about that anymore.

@TimothyBelin_ "one love" followed by "relax", i was dying

Shoutout to the Sacramento Republic DJ for playing peace anthems while everything was kicking off between Sacramento and El Farolito.

@kneath fuck that bald headed fraud

founder hack: send your investor updates regularly in the middle of the month, so they don't get grouped on the 1st of the month dogpile in inboxes

@zeeg i think it depends a bit on framework and what level you’re looking at. for rails it’s been like 10x for me

im fully convinced that LLMs are not an actual net productivity boost (today) they remove the barrier to get started, but they create increasingly complex software which does not appear to be maintainable so far, in my situations, they appear to slow down long term velocity

@simonawing yup!!

@Danielbricen @HOLLMANMORRIS Trago con dinero publico @holman ??? No les da pena? No tienen respeto ppr la gemte. Llegaron al poder a abusar.

Estoy escuchando @HOLLMANMORRIS furioso porque le pidieron explicar porque con plata pública en RTVC se pagan cuentas de wiskey, aguardiente, y cenas y dice es que “yo a Daniel Briceño lo tengo denunciado” Se le olvida decir que derrocha plata con Montealegre para denunciarme

this is why we should have used semantic versioning for all wars

@JohannTetzel6 california’s an amazing place to live, shit’s awesome lol

@holman Not sure why giving more money to the political class that has failed the State is going to change that. But I guess it makes sense to you.

if katie porter cut taxes by $1000 for every california person, that is a $40 billion hole. there are only ~200 billionaires in california. you cant have nice things by just taxing the obscenely wealthy. i know it's nice to believe, but it isn't true

@JohannTetzel6 because the gap between rich and poor is far too large for a reasonable society

@holman Why, if the money going to be stolen by the same political class? I don't understand this mentality from a Founder. You wouldn't back a software company that spent 17 years not delivering.

@JohannTetzel6 you’re the one talking about fraud lol. i’m just saying tax the rich more

@holman You just Tweeted to do nothing about the fraud.

@JohannTetzel6 i mean, fix that too. but more public transit is great

@holman But they aren't building it. So your solution is to give them more money?

@JohannTetzel6 because building shit is great?

@holman Why? You get the money whether you built it or not.

@JohannTetzel6 high speed rail, subways, build it all

@holman Amazing. California deserves everything it's going to get.

@JohannTetzel6 tbf, yes

@holman @andersonbcdefg @kimmaicutler The important thing is to do nothing about the fraud. $100B for a HSR that will never be built? We need to think bigger. We should have 10 HSR projects.

@energy_slowpoke nine digits is a good start. certainly ten.

@holman @andersonbcdefg @kimmaicutler What is your definition of rich

@andersonbcdefg @kimmaicutler 100%

@holman @kimmaicutler i agree, specifically, i think we need to repeal prop 13 and tax property based on its actual market value

@andersonbcdefg @kimmaicutler sort of. in general we should be taxing the rich at much higher rates.

@holman @kimmaicutler you can, but you shouldnt use the proceeds to hollow out the rest of the tax base

it's very fun to work on a financial product so I can add real quick wins like this; i wish more apps had flexible behavior like this
