Shooting my shot.
My first draft at a quick cover of the new hit single “Coronavirus rhapsody”
I've lost my mind.
I wrote Coronavirus Rhapsody:
Is this a sore throat?
Is this just allergies?
Caught in a lockdown
No escape from reality.

Just closed our biggest client and hit a big revenue milestone.
As a founder, I feel no dopamine hit. All I feel a sobering responsibility to make this client successful.
Can someone validate that this is normal?

Looking for the best 4-6th grade teacher in Bay Area who wants a 1-year contract, that will beat whatever they are getting paid, to teach 2-7 students in my back yard

If you know this teacher, refer them & we hire them, I will give you a $2k UberEats gift card

I totally forgot about the fact the gov was in complete denial about inflation!
That definitely contributed to the 10yr bond buys
Rate hikes weren’t telegraphed.
Go back to March 2021.
Inflation was a conspiracy theory.
Officials said don’t worry, not real.
So people kept buying 10yr bonds.
Denial continued through 2021.
Then rates got hiked. Fast.
In one year, higher than 10 years!

There comes a time in the life of every founder where your heart sinks in learning you owe $100k+ in Delaware Franchise Tax...
Only to learn the difference between the Authorized Share vs Assumed Par Value calculation methods...
Thanks for the heart attack Delaware.

Starlink a good backup if fiber optic undersea infra fails?
I guess Starlink is vulnerable to Kessler Syndrome but seems less likely and higher barrier to entry for bad actor (probably only limited state actors) to act on.

18 mo's ago me and 3 friends in SF all started meeting weekly with one goal in mind, we each start our own company.
Today marks the first day everyone in the group has officially quit their job.
We have all started companies.

Someone please disrupt paywalls.
There should be a browser-based wallet I can keep $10 in and pay $.25 every time I need to get through a paywall...
I'm not signing up for 5 publication subs, this would be an easy way for ppl to fund journalism without committing.
