I'm a huge protein nerd and the impact it has on health, not obsessed with 100g daily animal on account of how difficult that actually is, looking forward to chatting at Edge City @jwmares - picture below "Pine Manor" wings, great stuff

@LumaHQ did you all change the user model ? shows my user as "jcdavison" now instead of the email i was previously logged in as, i also lost all my subscribed calendars, that is hugely annoying as I'm subscribed to things I care about... sure maybe my error here, vary curious

@8vc trying to sign up for your updates

@JasonSwett I want the LLM to be my test drive pair partner - I love tests but I dont excel at having the time to write them well

@jeff_weinstein did a podcast yesterday with fundsandfounder.com and numerous learning's from Stripe and @jeff_weinstein Lenny's session came up relating to power of ux, 1st order priorities

@jcdavison Here's that chart.

stripe id verification is an excellent example of "can we do this" vs "is the ux a blocker" many things are possible but companies underestimate creating a UX that doesn't have mad bottlenecks causing pple to give up @jeff_weinstein illustrated this amazingly in his lenny's interview

Pple frequently ask why i prefer a heart rate chest monitor to a wrist watch - many ways to answer but looking at this graph - accuracy tops big on my list - this clear set of inervals would be muddy on a wrist monitor

that is interesting, somewhat true i doubt the google founders were super mean when they founded google, they were is pure awe mode, ie, can we download the entire internet - i don't think they were in move fast and be mean mode many mean founders will fail, some ok peeps will go far

A founder who puts you off usually correlates directly with the quality of the company. The meaner the founder is to you, the more likely it is the company is the next Google. VC's reaction when a founder says, "I'd love to find a way to work with you":

@PeterAttiaMD two questions on zone 2 from reading peterattiamd.com/guide-to-zone-… - the 180 estimation, is it always 180 or substitute in my max observed hr (186 climbing steep hills) - assuming 180, my target zone 2 is 133, even on a treadmill, i can't stay perfectly at 133, is there a +/- operating band? how to manage that range

Always amazed by the thoughtful density of @FoundersPodcast - listened to session on Sam Zell while 'cardio-ing'. Sam Zell - do what you like - the greatest luxury is a private jet - i don’t look back, just forward - would only focus on cash flow cause there is where value happens - bought properties that others thought to be dead - hated excessive competition, preferred monopoly or oligopoly - would leave industry area when margin started to erode - be comfortable with your opinion of self, other meh… - money talks, bs walks how could I have never heard of him? gives me confidence in my own seemingly self-destructive focus on personal independence and brutally direct feedback

@MorningBrew @hnshah This would also be useful in highly vetted secure experience for taking kids to school where busing isnt avail/possible

Uber's launching shuttles in NYC to take people from Manhattan to LaGuardia • 14-passenger vans • Trips every 30 minutes • $18 to and from the airport • Three pick up/drop off locations (Port Authority, Grand Central, Penn Station) It makes a lot of sense, 15% of bookings last year came from airport trips

@jimmyjacobson @codingscape I love the working sessions i do with my clients and team - if yours are a complete waste of time, ask yourself why you built a life that conspires to waste your most precious resource

This is surely not controversial, but most meetings are a complete waste of time. Here’s our approach to meetings at @Codingscape:

Is there such thing as a litmus strip for caffeine? I love my cold brew, but they're not all the same ...

@bcardarella Not chuckling at the negative consequences humans will experience over this - just the political contrast being illuminated

@bcardarella Big chuckle - you said it

These fucking morons will believe everything except climate change.
