This is a really cool role. Lots of impactful optimization work to be done!.

RT @paularambles: you know which other astronomer got publicly dragged for focusing on the wrong body.

Me responding 0 on every NPS poll because I don’t randomly shill b2b saas products to my friends.

Something that took me a while to grasp about NYC politics is that candidates can get away with being extremely progressive and nobody bats an eyelash as long as they aren’t also cool.

I’ve long been a fan of what Erik, @akshat_b, and the team at Modal have been building. Beyond excited to be joining them!.

RT @akshat_b: We’re thrilled to share that @JamsocketHQ is joining @modal_labs!. We’ve known @paulgb and @taylorbaldwin for years now, and….

Some personal news!.

Oh you live in New York? Wow, I could never live there. Do you avoid the subway after dark? I saw the ball drop on TV and couldn’t believe how crowded it was! Not my cup of tea.

Please don’t interpret this as “VCs shouldn’t shitpost”, I love a good VC shitpost. Just avoid racist conspiracy theories etc. and you’re good.

Nobody wants to say it publicly, but from talking to other founders it’s crazy how much Sequoia’s reputation has fallen off because one guy won’t stop 4chan-level shitposting.

RT @growing_daniel: Now that Soham is blacklisted whoever hires him will get him exclusively. Be greedy when others are fearful etc.

Don’t forget to occasionally Google your enemies and click all of the links that aren’t theirs to make their SEO worse.

If you’re thinking about leaving NYC over Mamdani’s election, I want to help! DM me pics of your apartment and what you pay in rent and what’s the earliest date I can move in.

Really seems like if Garcia had run again she would be the obvious frontrunner for NYC mayor right now. Am I crazy?.

Say what you will about Twitter under Elon’s reign, but community notes are so much more fun these days.

RT @localfirstconf: Watch @paulgb talk about CRDTs as a temporal data structure.

Wake up babe a new @jlazaroff just dropped

A funny thing about the NYC mayoral race is that there are two candidates named Adams and nobody ever specifies which they are talking about because it’s almost always clear from the context.

Unpopular opinion, but private equity is not a particularly problematic capital structure and the vilification of it is bizarre. I’d bet that most failures blamed on PE are root caused by mismanagement prior to PE involvement, and would have failed either way.

If you're nervous about public speaking, I highly recommend getting an emotional support kangaroo.
