Canadian butter tarts are surprisingly unknown outside Canada but today I found some at Trader Joe’s in the frozen section. Happy Thanksgiving to me 🇨🇦

The equivalent of weird employee perks in ZIRP is truly wild hiring loops that I keep hearing about that seem to be optimized to take up too much of everyone’s time for very little value.

There are lessons that can be carried forward from ZIRP without the excess hiring of that era. And bespoke, custom processes that are extremely inefficient in a good hiring market is not it!

It’s always interesting to see the weird patterns that emerge when you have excess. Post-ZIRP excess is talent and I’m seeing really really inefficient hiring patterns emerging that make me 🤔

So much fun at @SFDemocrats tonight. And BTW, in case you were listening, and in case you weren’t paying attention a few years ago, it was @sfparents and @sfguardians who flipped the school board to kids-first leaders…

This was a stark thing to read after a truly horrible accident in the bay area yesterday. I guess you can just do these kinds of things too but we don't want to

I have nothing useful to add to the Soham Parekh story but really hope there is someone in Bollywood making a Bunty aur Babli like movie. It would be very entertaining and the perfect Silicon Valley Bollywood crossover.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that an engineering leader in possession of a team must be in want of head count. (Always and forever).

It’s that time of year when mysterious, expensive boxes show up at doorsteps. People share in hushed whispers where they located a particularly good supply. 🥭 season!
