@nico_laqua You could sleep 6 hours a night if you weren’t so chronically on X.

Maybe that culture is fine for you at linear, and it looks like it’s working great for you! You’ve created something worth over a billion dollars in 7 short years, that’s something very few people on the planet have done before. But sometimes there are big problems that need solving, and there is more creative thinking, not less, that happens with contact with the big problems. In our case, creating the financial operating system that owns the creation, transfer, financing, and investment of risk, using AI to automate the paperwork of the most regulated entities to make every business and person a little more profitable, waste a lot less time, and be more protected, is a big problem. Maybe there were super geniuses at the Manhattan Project working 1 day per week like zen masters. I doubt it though, because if you’re obsessed with a problem, you work hard. Nowhere did I or do I glorify lack of sleep (I always think sleeping right and exercise are very important), and different people have different visions, cadences, and ways they want to run their companies. And that’s ok, but you attacking our style based upon sound bites when we are solving a really important problem, by market sizing probably the biggest problem large language models can solve, isn’t it.

@theonejvo @UseCorgi

No dissing @UseCorgi but can someone explain to my dumb ass how Corgi is anything remotely close to a Manhattan project? Or is Ben just LinkedIn posting?

@carlosthecomic @InvestingAddict I’ve often pondered how cults are a thing. Then I see stuff like this.

@InvestingAddict If you don’t believe in SpaceX, I’m not sure what you believe in

Why do I feel like the SpaceX IPO is going to be the start of the stock market pullback?

@MrBathStantons @Tonypwbristol @sainsburys That makes sense, thanks for explaining always good to learn!

@themolkster @Tonypwbristol @sainsburys The open shelved fridges and freezers are not as tall, 3 or 4 shelves not 6.

Nice to see the Green Park, Bath @sainsburys renovations coming along, but how am I expected to open the new fridges and freezers in my wheelchair. Not very #disabled friendly.

@PinguStacks 0% finance doesn’t exist for used cars. If PCP is affordable and a person gets joy from their new car then it’s worth it. We all spend money on things we enjoy. Having a reliable and in warranty car is also often better than having an unreliable one.

Controversial take, ditch the PCP, buy an old car outright on 0% finance. Max out 0% cards to invest. Cheap leverage on appreciating assets. Same monthly outgoings, higher monthly gains. If you can afford the payments, it's something to think about. NFA. DYOR.

@Roger_dornJD Not really on to be posting peoples profiles on X.

You won’t believe which one it is!

Keep in mind that you have no legal power to stop her doing whatever she wants with the money at 18. 18 year olds often don’t make the wisest decisions with money. Still a great idea just be careful! Maybe consider also putting an amount into a junior SIPP? reddit.com/r/FIREUK/s/Hwo…

My daughter is 2 weeks old, yet I’m planning to set her up for life financially. Today, I set up her very own Junior ISA. Each month, the child benefit money received from the government shall be invested (£108.20) Myself and my partner will also contribute £100 each, meaning each month £308.20 is put away for her future. When she turns 18, this matures into an ISA. Assuming an 8% annual growth rate (modest) on her 18th birthday she will have £162,415. From £200 of our own money each month. I’ll be sharing this journey on this account. This is a message to new and old parents out there: Open up a junior ISA today. The longer the money is left, the bigger the grow growth.

What a win!

@kylecordes @TateHackert Insurance

@TateHackert ... Unless you get unlucky and some bozo crashes into it. This happens all the time for all manner of cars.

It's not actually $250,000 because you'll be able to sell it for a similar price in three years. Buy the car. It's the most fun.

@MrBathStantons @Tonypwbristol @sainsburys Genuine question - isn’t this a problem at all supermarkets? I’m sympathetic but equally it doesn’t feel entirely practical to keep absolutely everything at a wheelchair accessible height.

@Tonypwbristol @sainsburys It wouldn't solve the height issue though.

@Priye644455 I mean this account is AI but that’s a red flag in itself that a first date takes periorirty over his sister being in hospital.

"nice meeting you" text in my head. Then my phone rang. It was him. He apologized and told me his younger sister had been rushed to the hospital halfway through our date. He was trying to handle calls from family without ruining the evening for me.

I went on a blind date once and spent the entire dinner thinking he wasn't interested in me. He barely looked up from his food, kept checking his phone, and our conversation felt awkward. I got home, removed my makeup, changed into pajamas, and was already drafting the

@yawaramin @MattIPv4 @paxaral Fast and loose with just about everything to be honest. The stories from their enterprise customers are concerning, and it’s outage after outage for them. I’d imagine things will get worse given the layoffs and the AI psychosis the management team has.

@MattIPv4 @paxaral Cloudflare is starting to build a rep of playing fast and loose with their supply chain

👀 Cloudflare's wrangler CLI (~20m installs/week) has a new dependency... a ~600kb WASM binary used by no other package on npm: `rosie-skills`. I've been told that it is a legitimate package published by an employee, but it really looks like the start of a supply chain attack...

@MattIPv4 For tools as widely used as this all packages should be vendored and external dependencies should be kept as minimal as possible.

@Cloudflare Love this post considering Cloudflare has been about as reliable as dial up lately, and your support just as hard to connect with!

@MIlg520845 @Avishai_ab Do share?

@themolkster @Avishai_ab Except for me... and millions of others

Sharing here the message I just sent to the whole Wix team: Today is a sad day for me. We have made a very hard decision. We are reducing the Wix team size by roughly 20%. It is one of the hardest decisions I have had to make, but I am confident it is the right one, and I will explain why. Before I go into anything else, let me say - this is a very hard decision because I will be saying goodbye to many people who have worked with me for years, many whom I call friends, people I trust and respect, friends who poured their energy and talent into Wix. Team members I know personally, and team members I never had the chance to meet, but whose commitment and contribution I have witnessed. So thank you. Thank you for the effort, for the talent, for the passion, and for the friendship. We are doing this as a company-wide change, a decision that will impact the entire organization, driven by how we need to operate going forward. Why are we doing this? The first reason is the Shekel/Dollar rates. In the past few quarters the exchange rate between the Shekel and the US dollar has shifted significantly as the Israeli Shekel strengthens against the US Dollar almost every day. As the majority of our teams are Israel-based, a very meaningful portion of our costs are shekel-denominated, while our revenue is largely dollar-denominated. This creates a structural pressure on our ability to operate at our current scale. It is a reality that directly shapes what is sustainable for our company. The second stems from the fast evolution of AI capabilities. We have witnessed the most significant shift in how companies are built since the invention of modern programming languages in the 1970s. This is not just about adopting new tools - it is about rewiring how companies are built, how they think, how they manage and how they operate. Companies that embrace this change will not only build faster; they will build things the previous generation literally could not have imagined. We are already taking concrete steps in this direction. As you know, we've recently introduced new roles like Xengineer and Creators, designed from the ground up around AI-native ways of working, a meaningful step towards the kind of company we are becoming. It also means we need to become a faster, leaner, and flatter organization. We are moving to a structure with fewer levels between any member of our leadership and the most junior person on the team. Fewer layers means faster decisions, clearer ownership, and less distance between the people setting direction and the people building the product - but it also means a smaller number of people. It is clear to us that in this new era, companies need to make this change in order to lead and compete or risk falling behind. We are choosing to compete. It is a painful change, a change that touches the lives of many, but I truly believe we have no other choice - we must evolve. To those of you who are being let go I want to once more say: Thank you. Those who are affected will be contacted in person, directly, and we will do everything in our power to handle each conversation with sensitivity, respect, and the care you deserve, you will also be granted personally curated separation packages. Many of you have given years to this company and built things we are genuinely proud of. I am personally grateful for what you've created, for the culture you've shaped, and for the trust you placed in us. More than anything, this decision was about the shape of the company we need to become. We own that - and we own the responsibility of supporting all of you through what comes next. To those of you who are staying What happens in the next few days matters. The people leaving this company are your colleagues, your friends, people you've built things with. They deserve to walk out of here with their heads held high, knowing that their work was real and that we recognize it. Please treat them with the respect they've earned. How we say goodbye says as much about who we are, as anything we've ever built together. Our broader commitment Before anything else, our commitment is to our users - to make the hard decisions so Wix continues to be the company that helps them succeed. We work for our users. Millions of people run their businesses on Wix. Their world is also changing, also uncertain, also shaped by the current shifts. They rely on us - our reliability, our innovation, and our commitment to their success. The responsibility does not stop with our users - behind every Wix shareholder is a real person whose savings, pension, or investment is tied to how we perform. We take this responsibility very seriously. If we do not make this change, we will be failing our responsibility to our users, our shareholders, and our employees. In the long run, what is best for our users is best for our employees and best for our shareholders. Today's decision was made to ensure we are here for our users and our shareholders, you among them, stronger and more capable, for years to come. We are doing this today because we are committed to building a company that is healthy, durable, and positioned to lead. We will come out of this faster, stronger and better equipped for this new era. Avishai

@alexanderrX_ It’s not really impressive. It ultimately ends up being counter productive. People don’t perform as well when they’re tired, haven’t eaten or exercised properly.

it is genuinely impressive how elon gets people to operate at that level of intensity. still working at 2:45am is not normal company culture. i do wonder if that could ever work in the uk, or if it is specific to america. either way, i hope xai becomes a serious competitor to openai and anthropic.

@rawespresso Why not both?

Young UK people are being sold a lie that they need to be investing in stocks at 22. Stock portfolios are nearly useless to most people in their twenties because the amounts they can realistically invest are too small to matter. £100 a month in an ISA over 5 years grows to maybe £7,000 — not life-changing money, a few months of rent. What actually moves the needle in your twenties is increasing the salary the £100 came out of. Going from £30K to £60K in 5 years isn't unusual for somebody who deliberately invested in their skill set. That's an extra £18,000-£20,000 of after-tax income, every year, for the rest of your career. The maths is brutal: every hour you spend optimising a small investment portfolio is an hour you didn't spend learning the skill that would double your earning capacity. Stocks are a tool for the wealth you've already built. Skills are how you build the wealth in the first place. Most 22-year-olds reading personal finance Twitter would be much better off ignoring it entirely for 5 years and putting that focus into becoming worth 3x more in the labour market. Compound interest on a skill compounds harder than compound interest on £100 a month.

@titanflux @otherside_X42 But you said nobody lives or works there 😅

@themolkster @otherside_X42 Agree but no one wants them in their backyard and the networks don't likely see any value to themselves 🤷🏼‍♂️

mysterious unnamed low earth orbit satellite constellation huh

@titanflux @otherside_X42 They should install masts.

@themolkster @otherside_X42 There isn't good 5G in places where no one lives or works thag trains have to go through.
