X is flooded with "I shipped this app in 12 minutes".
I wanted to see if it was real or hype. Six weeks later, with zero skills as a developer, I have an app on the App Store.

Soho House factoid post IPO:
“the company received more than 30,000 membership applications during [covid], and it boasts a 59,000-person waiting list of applicants”
That’s $100M of recurring subscription revenue just waiting in line, with 94% retention

Sadly, being a cyclist in London is like being in a knife fight. You’re gonna get cut. I’ve had cars actively cut me off or try to run me off the road! Even being a good citizen cyclist is super dangerous. I retired.

If you're a first time founder, out raising your first round, it's HARD right now. Harder than it's been for at least the past 5 years.
I don't see the VC market improving this calendar year, and word on the street is it will get worse before it gets better.
Plan accordingly.

*Please* prioritize securing your core accounts with physical keys. Apple addresses this and recommends which hardware to use. You’ll need 2 keys minimum, only buy from the manufacturer, not Amazon. support.apple.com/en-gb/HT21…
🚨 My phone was hacked today. 🚨
The attacker got into my phone via a SIM-swap, and started immediately attempting to gain access to any accounts secured by SMS 2FA.
Apparently all an attacker needs to perform a SIM-swap is your real name, phone number, and email address.

I really like startups that make a positive impact on our lives - food & fitness are two segments I’m definitely underweight in. Who should I talk to?

First, @sohrobf, I’m so, so sorry to hear this. Someone tried the same with me, but I thankfully I don’t use Metamask. Second, for others reading 1) best practice is avoid discord for support (email or Intercom) and 2) lock your jpegs away with @argentHQ 🔐
I was scammed / socially manipulated / hacked on @Discord and @OpenSea and lost three @BoredApeYC, four @0n1Force, and three @worldofwomennft totally roughly 250 eth in value by getting tricked into exposing the Metamask QR Code in the Chrome Browser Extension. I’ve never felt

Part of my morning strategy is to get 2hrs of ‘Deep Work’ done before most folks even start their day.
Dedicated, uninterrupted time, first thing in the morning on a single task can yield more meaningful progress than a whole day of multitasking.
What’s your work hack? ☕️

Honestly so fucking fed up with @RevolutBusiness & @RevolutApp - Been a customer since the very beginning. Had a really nice sales call early on with someone selling me the first business account deals.
I'm locked out for 6 months, without access to funds.
