@naz_thakkar I’d like to join!

Hosting an all-female Founder x Funder mixer in NYC next month 🗽👀🌃 1) Comment/tag if you're interested in attending 🥂 2) DM you know any good venues / office spaces ✨ 3) The catch: Each VC is asked to bring female founder(s) with them to the event 🤝 See you there AHH!

I’m in Paris and I ordered an oat milk latte and the waiter said no.

@patio11 Built a following of about 40k teaching software engineering on TikTok - would appreciate input on what a startup with this form of distribution would look like if you could DM me!

Absolutely agree with this, and I think there are a variety of (primary?) form factors which work for it.

Some guy interviewing me just called me a junior developer based on my skills and told me "software is not for me" while smirking. How is your Monday going?

Is there a place somewhere in which startup founders actually share honest stories about what things are really like? So tired of feeling like I can't be honest without freaking out some investor (who isn't even in our company) or ruffling feathers.

99% of learning happens after school.

fun fact: I have never taken a solo vacation I have traveled solo all around the world for work but mentally I have attached relationship status to vacations. So 2022 is the year I will take my first solo vacation. Criteria: wellness + nature + safe + spa + wifi Recs?

@brookemiccio No way!!! 😍

The soft launch is a lot harder than people make it out to be. The delicate balance of privacy but also making it clear this is YOUR MAN.. it’s an art truly

@thisiskp_ @thisiskp_ I answered your question in detail in an article, because it's a space I feel strongly about. I have a list of potential solutions I'll be bringing into ODF12, would love to share them with you over a call. @startuptechnologist/gaps-in-the-education-hiring-and-retention-of-software-engineers-6c5fd435cf09" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@startuptechno…

Billion dollar idea 💡 Solve the “it’s hard to find enough engg talent" at startups problem How? 1️⃣ Boosting the supply (skilling, up-skilling, re-skilling) 2️⃣ Unlocking hidden supply (help devs stuck in boring corporate jobs try contract projects at startups etc) What else?

The relationship between software engineering and computer science is similar to the one between lawyers and English majors. An English major, without appropriate training in law, will not make a competent lawyer.

I’m fascinated by the idea of secular churches. A place to gather, make new friends, and think deep thoughts… without any droning sermons and fire and brimstone. Has anyone pulled this off? Would love some examples. I really want to do something in my home town.
