@tylertringas @microacquire The thing is that getting revenue massively increases the price: developers are leaving a ton of money on the table if they exit before that point. The smart ones realize that and learn how to get some revenue, to make 5x or more. So good pre revenue startups mostly don’t exist.

I bet a full stack developer or small agency could make a very substantial amount of money just building out SaaS products and selling them pre-launch/pre-revenue on @microacquire. SaaS business ready to go, build it in less than a month, sell for $50k+.

@dvassallo I think depression is based on a kind of logical fallacy: actions do not have effects. Not meaningful ones, not ones that can truly or deeply change my situation and life circumstances, etc. So a person who is constantly taking actions (“on a quest”) can’t fall into that mindset.

This feels true. Very Viktor Frankl-esque. Is there any rigorous counter-evidence to disprove it?

@KyoMemes @RealEmirHan You know Tarantino would’ve cast some scenery-chewing ham for the role.

@RealEmirHan There Will Be Blood worked because of Anderson's direction and Day Lewis's performance. Dano was fine but not the weak link Tarantino claims. This says more about Tarantino's taste than film's actual quality.

Quentin Tarantino says 'There Will Be Blood' would've had a chance to be his greatest film of the 21st century if it didn't have Paul Dano in it "Dano is weak sauce, man. He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy.”

@matthew_kruer Did you notice he open sourced it? The code is free for you to use. DIY or hire someone to customize it for your use case (much cheaper than from scratch).

Hard to understate how impactful a GTM capability like this would be for a non-SAAS B2B products company like ours. It’s the #1 capability we need, but we don’t have anyone like Drew to build it.

Going to start posting here regularly after a long break.

@nikitabier That’s great news. I’m interested in tech/SaaS/indie developer content myself. I’m planning to engage more now so I can see it because I’d love to have a feed more like this.

The goal for your X timeline is to get out of the mainstream algo and the political crusades and find your niche. You should be able to post about your interests and have friendly, relevant people chime in. If you’re seeing gas station fight videos, your account is not ramped up yet. We are working everyday to fix this.

I've had good experiences with @Flippa and bought WritingBeginner.com on their platform. If you're thinking about acquiring a business, I've had great experiences there!

@david__booth The biggest change, and new park, in that time is the Upper Great Highway conversion, now known as Sunset Dunes. According to the Parks Dept. it’s something like the 3rd most popular SF park now.

@troutgirl Also if someone i know is reading this, the chance that I mean you is extradorainily low - much less than 1%. But if you take everyone I’m connected to over all of time, there have been a few unwelcome surprises.

@troutgirl I don’t know about this person but I have noticed that some percent of my Twitter mutuals are just… not cool. The ones I know really well on here, I would say I know for a fact they are. But if we kinda sorta interact briefly through tweets, my sad truth has been you never know.

Good article (I learned a lot) but I disagree about cost. It makes a division between the good old cheap days and expensive modern artificial wave pools at $250/day. But after buying a surfboard & wetsuit, your only real cost, at natural spots, is gas. slate.com/life/2024/05/s…

In honor of my first day today trying to learn to surf in Pacifica, I thought I’d post this classic.

I didn’t know the most widely used commercial font is Proxima Nova.

My favorite food fresh is the same as my least favorite food for leftovers: fish.

It's funny that this word exists, and that it's so complicated. "Contextual" would've made sense!

Great comment (real too).

Interesting article about the jhanas! Very counter-intuitive, too: in a 1 week class, she claims to have gone through multiple of them. asteriskmag.com/issues/06/manu…

Such a great piece of engagement bait.

I’m fine w apartments having some AirBNB units, but a whole tower of them is too much.

It's hard to match the pattern exactly but this may be a better match: silvery with an intricate pattern.

I was running along Ocean Beach today and ran across one of these, maybe 3 feet long. The birds had started to eat it and must have gone back to that after I left. They are pretty sharks, up close - lovely pattern.
