A weird property of the frontier: finding the edge forces a realization that there’s very few people there, the others who’ve found it are tightly clustered and therefore quite happy to see you, and you all can’t help but ask “where is everybody?” in escalating confusion.

Big congrats to @AriX and @conradev, my earliest friends in SF and still some of the best engineers I've ever met. Happy to be a personal investor and see them put their talents to work on such a big opportunity!.
