X is flooded with "I shipped this app in 12 minutes".
I wanted to see if it was real or hype. Six weeks later, with zero skills as a developer, I have an app on the App Store.
Let's recap 🧵

I love reading these things. This is big history, yet you can read the doubts and issues so clearly (none of them mattered).

In honor of 50 years of Apple, we're sharing - for the first time ever - Don Valentine's original 1977 memo for Sequoia's investment into Apple Computer. #Apple50

Pretty sure @Citymapper had this 10+ yrs ago. Not available UK wide though. GG Google.

Technology is at its best when it solves everyday challenges. 📱 In collaboration with @transportgovuk, we’ve started rolling out live bus tracking for Maps users across England. This update gives passengers the info they need to plan journeys with confidence and precision. ⏱️🙌 Making travel smarter, one stop at a time.

@Nicolas_Colin Sure, but even accounting for dollar dominance, just one circle is the entirety of Europe. It’s a striking graphic.
English
@jasonball Keep in mind that foreign capital inflows, driven by the dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency, contribute to asset price inflation in the US.

I think about this image often
Documentaire et Vérité@DocuVerite
Ce graphique compare les sociétés créées depuis un demi-siècle et valorisées à plus de 10 milliards de $. Chaque cercle représente une entreprise, sa taille reflète sa valeur de marché, sa couleur son secteur. Un constat pique les yeux: une seule entreprise américaine née après 1973 — Apple, Nvidia, peu importe laquelle— pèse aujourd’hui plus que toutes les jeunes firmes européennes réunies. Que voit on ? - À gauche, les États-Unis, constellés de géants aux capitalisations stratosphériques ; - À droite, l’Europe, réduite à un chapelet de sphères minuscules, presque décoratives. Ce résultat n’est ni le hasard ni la fatalité, mais le produit d’un écosystème. - Aux États-Unis, le capital-risque irrigue l’innovation comme un fleuve nourricier. L’échec y est une étape du succès, la croissance une vertu cardinale, et la régulation un obstacle qu’on franchit. - En Europe, au contraire, on a fait de la précaution un culte, de la norme une liturgie et du soupçon entrepreneurial un art de vivre. Pendant que les Américains faisaient pousser des licornes dans leurs garages, Bruxelles peaufinait la directive sur le diamètre des concombres et la gouvernance “inclusive” des start-up. Aujourd’hui, la Bourse ne juge pas les discours, elle pèse les bilans. Et son verdict est cruel : l’Europe rêve sa puissance, l’Amérique la capitalise. imf.org/en/News/Articl…

Wow. @Quicken are complete crooks. 1) no trial 2) bait and switch pricing on the App Store 3) no Plaid support? Cmon.

It's amazing how @claudeai literally will not follow instructions. I have a skill built, with defined steps. Most of the time Claude just makes something up. "Style guide says xyz, I should have followed that. Let me fix it properly. " 😑

@itamarl joined us in the pub last week with @TimMeggs to discuss the future of on-chain banking, mainstream Stablecoins and how @ready_co tackles traditional banking friction.
Full episode drops tomorrow.

Unpopular opinion:
@duolingo would be much better if they started with practical or travel phases. Teaching me to say “I am writing a letter” does not drive user retention.

@JasonVsTheNoise @grok @jasonball marginal amounts matter. And most of this migration is from cost of living, which isn’t driven as much by taxes but by lack of housing supply
English
@itamarl @WisprFlow Trying this right now. Using Apple's text to speech is absolutely infuriating!

A bit of career news from my side.
I'm delighted to share that I'm joining @sequoia as Communications Advisor. I'll be heading up comms for Sequoia in Europe, based out of the London office.
Huge thanks to @nataliemiyake and @LucianaLix for the opportunity & warm welcome! 🚀🌲

Mississippi continues to surprise to the upside.
Frank Chaparro@fintechfrank
America's great tax experiment is splitting in two Red states: racing to cut or eliminate income taxes. Mississippi, Oklahoma on paths to zero. Blue states: hiking taxes on millionaires. Washington just passed a 9.9% tax on $1M+ earners. NY & others pushing for more. 23 states have lowered top rates since 2021. source: WSJ
English
Highest state income tax rates in the United States.
California: 13.3%
Hawaii: 11.0%
New York: 10.9%
New Jersey: 10.75%
District of Columbia: 10.75%
Oregon: 9.9%
Minnesota: 9.85%
What a huge coincidence that every one of these are blue. This is shocking.

Currently on day 19, four rejections in, waiting on 5th review to get from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2. Apple reviews are max pain.

“sir they’ve paid $100 for the Apple Developer account” “good. wait 2 days to confirm their account then reject the app 10 times over the next 20 days. if they make it through take a 30% cut of the revenue and pay them out 2 months later. ban them if they try using Stripe”
