Best hot (and clean) yoga in SF?

I really miss the joy of opening my inbox and receiving an email from an actual person. But I guess we can reinvent the future of social connection only once we processed the grief of what we have lost.

If you love your work you don’t work for a day in your life

Ad break on instagram is actually great. It’s the end of endless scroll. And the endless scroll used to be the key driver of engagement. Now, you just leave sooner.

If you aren’t talking about grief and desire, can you really pretend that you’re talking about personal growth? The only two instruments of transformation are also the ones so heavily not talked about.

Proud to be a part of this insane lineup

Every founder and CEO should read all they can about the drama triangle. If you cannot face another person directly, you will drag a third person in and call it process. That is how companies rot from the inside.

@ludogranger Being born old did not prevent me from living young.

@milstan did YC and he his very old lol but he has a sense of urgency that beats almost anyone right now in terms of velocity in SF.

Congrats! I live in @conductor_build

The last thing I could imagine when I woke up today was that a purple coconut ice-cream would be just what I needed.

@daltonc : “It’s naive to focus, as an investor, too much on the idea, on the traction, and trends. It’s more about talent, … best teams will win no matter the idea”

After the Elon Musk x AirFrance collab, we now have John Galliano x Zara. What is next on the list of improbable twists?

It's now 20 years since I created my personal website milstan.net . Many websites have not survived that long on the cruel internet. And it's been a while since I realized that I've been making this website mostly for myself. At first it was, I thaught, about connecting to others, then I passed through the delusion of being able to control the narrative of how I am seen by others, and then, since past few years, I progressively started to accept the idea that what I wanted deep down was to see myself, to express in order to connect.

@posthog Places shape identity, identities manifest a place.

We called ourselves LeadBay back in France, long before Silicon Valley was even a possibility. The "Bay" had nothing to do with geography then—just sounded right. @posthog launched their new SF office: HogPatch. Named after Dogpatch, the neighborhood where they landed.

When hard skills get commoditized, it’s the soft skills that make the difference.

I keep saying that crying is the key instrument of personal growth. Cry.

If you’re gonna be a user, be a power user. And what are your settings?

This is what automation used to look like, and still in 2026 I’m getting messages addressed as “[First name].” The time when software personalized messages by filling out variables is gone. Now it writes the whole message. It’s a new world.
