When you become an engineer in Canada, you take an oath To never cause harm/suffering/etc to humans as a result of your work This applies equally, if not more, to business Both can be used for good (to remove suffering) or evil (to add it) Do good work. Don't be evil

There has been a significant bifurcation in performance among software stocks over the past year. Has been fertile ground for L/S stock picking. Strong performers: $PLTR $APP $NET $SNOW $SHOP $CRWD $ZS $ORCL $MDB $GWRE $DDOG $MSFT $PANW

anon: "Tier1 VCs will still fund you. The market has the memory of a goldfish" I mean the partners. Everyone who I respect, who I aspire to work with, I strongly believe would consider this game over Venture and founders are aligned a t->inf ambition Don't break that contract

Hey everyone, itâs @DanielTetsuyama! Catalyst 14 is done, and action begins. Our proposal to onboard 50,000 Nigerian farmers to Cardano is now reality. Theo (@CardanoChefPool) is in Nigeria meeting officials, turning vision into action. đ´

Founders Itâs your job to get your team home safe. They trust you; you owe it to them. Full stop. Itâs okay to derisk so you can swing big for everyone But then, you have to follow through with *more* gumption, not less
Secondaries from OpenAI, not worried. Secondaries at seed and Series A where the founder takes out more than the current ARR? Not great. Definitely happening though.

For me it's always actually been a very simple equation Evaluate net worth vs paper net worth Up to (age/10)% for every order of magnitude delta, never over (age)% in one go

Very good post by Zach Read it. You will not regret it.
Taking money off the table: https://t.co/rNeSyM9ftz Wrote a bit this morning about tender offers and that "oh god do I sell my stock?" decision startup employees face.

People often ask me why I wake up at 3am and what I work on at that hour. The answer to both questions is the same: My dreams. Iâm working on my dreams.

Railway is the place to deploy anything Because when you keep everything together, things are both fast and secure by default The Result: Sub millisecond database latency, encrypted at every step. Smooth AND secure.
Pro tip: Use the private network when you can on @Railway. It's: ⢠Faster ⢠Cheaper (no egress fees) ⢠More Secure Here's a demo comparing the latency of having an app query a database over the private network vs. the public internet https://t.co/7n0Ztua2RV

Incredible time to have spent the last 5 years building a high performance, dynamic, runs anywhere compute orchestration layer The next decade is going to be so much fun
Google and Cisco Execs: The Infrastructure Renaissance AI is causing the biggest buildout of physical infrastructure in modern history. The five largest players alone are projected to spend $342 billion on capex in 2025, more than the entire Apollo moon landing program adjusted

At your company, how many people are doing the best work of their life? Probably not all of them. So get back to work
