@tatumturnup The engineer could have thrown in a moonwalk as he backed out

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

@buccocapital I like this! It’s a cool application of technology to make an analog experience more fun, not replace it or dull it.

There’s nothing to reinvent. You pick up a book. You read the book. What are we doing here? Stop it

We raised $1M dollars to reinvent how people read. Introducing Mark II - a $159 AI bookmark. Thread below

@clairevo It’s absurd and completely disconnected from reality

This makes me sick and want to move my kids out of SF.
Not because it’s too expensive. But because tech striver culture is so warped, I worry it’s unhealthy for them to be around.
By any objective measure this is not “broke,” not even in SF (ELEVEN MILLION PRE TAX!!!! 3M house! Chunky nest egg! An email job that lets you pay for private school AND a f/t nanny!) This is not a “996 and camping” lifestyle. This is a “we’re taking the kids to Japan for 2 weeks with the au pair” lifestyle.
It’s not the expense that keeps people trapped, it’s the mindset.
There will always be someone with more. The only way you can be truly poor is being unable to see your blessings for what they are and let someone else decide what is and isn’t “enough.”
Shruti Gandhi / Array VC preseed rounds@atShruti
They will still be SF brokie - 50% in taxes (37% federal / 13% state) $3-4m cash on a home in SF Likely needs renovation $250k- $1m Leaves you with $1-2m Many with kids or on the way Nanny -$100k/yr Day care / School - $45k/year/1 kid Camps/Extra curricular - $30-100k Tesla - $50k They will still be at the office 996 to not really enjoy any of this and and will only have money to hike and camp.

@cjc 100 this. Presumptive choices of a banal and simplistic view re value
English
When a 10M exit feels like “being broke”, the bubble has officially burst your perspective. These are luxury signals, not survival costs of living in SF. True success is knowing when you have enough and actually taking the time to enjoy the luck you’ve been given.

In case you were wondering where we're at in the cycle, I just heard about a seed round where the founder is selling secondary
English
@paulg It is tough to imagine unfettered growth at that rate in perpetuity NOT requiring an operator to make hard choices + sacrifices, usually impacting the “masses” or employees/labor. I say this as an operator of $250mn ARR+ businesses. I do not think that construct is controversial.
English
I wonder what people like Elizabeth Warren and AOC would say if they had to explain away the example of this startup (or 1000 others). That you can keep growing at 93% a month for a few months, but not too many, or you'll become so rich that you must have done something bad?
English
A friend's startup is growing at 93% a month. I pointed out that her net worth is also growing at 93% a month, and that she can thus feel, in her own life, the falsity of politicians' claim that you have to do bad things to get rich. They're just focusing on making users happy.

Imagine you are a Director, Product at a large SaaS company
You make say $185k base, $50k bonus, pull $50k-$100k in RSUs (less now because stock is down). It's ... fine.
Your CEO tells you everyone has to work much harder because of "AI". Gotta "go, go, go"
Would you?

@mwseibel @sulman_mrza also frustrating bc now a very real, impt set of challenges is being overwhelmed by debate over her overly simplistic rhetoric
English
@mwseibel @sulman_mrza i don't think this is "exactly" what she's saying. progressive histrionics w inaction are frustrating bc they are just ragebait (i say this as an ardent progressive!). i hope her approach is grounded by practical, realistic ways to close the gap rather than just fearmongering
English
I strongly do not agree. This populist messaging is counterproductive. AOC teaching people that wealth = immorality is in opposition to the American dream.
Marco Foster@MarcoFoster_
AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”
