Watching Suits for the first time. Why did we give Meghan Markle a hard time? She’s great in the show.

The world of mortgages really hasn’t caught up to the world of startups. Can’t verify my own employment as CEO of my own company. She asks for someone in HR...which a 7 person startup doesn’t have...we sit in awkward silence together.

That’s a wrap on 1 year of school, healthy meals, and gym twice a week. From Fs and Ds to straight As. So proud of these kids. #FosterCare

So uh started looking into Trady.com from our FASTest CEO Domm...so far 80% of the businesses I've contacted from the site don't seem to be real (shell companies set up with fake yelp and google listings), 90% of them don't pick up the phone, 1 said trady made their landing page without their permission, and 2 so far seem to actually be using their product but said Trady sponsored them.

I also think it’s ridiculous to think kids should be forced to just sit at a restaurant with nothing to do but also not be crazy and also not be loud and also sit without leaving their chair. My kid is far from an “iPad kid” but especially at restaurants we are more than happy to give him one

What’s funny is I could have just said “Yeah sent it to Susan in HR. Email her at susan@yac.com.” Since that person doesn’t exist, that email would have come to me and I could have verified myself.

Thinking of starting a Clubhouse room where I just invite people to argue with me for 30 minutes. They present an idea and I argue the opposite regardless of facts or if I even believe what I’m saying.

Startup friends. Who is hiring for design or dev? We get lots of inbounds but aren't hiring for every role right now. I'll send good candidates your way.

We get a lot of "Why doesn't your app look more like Slack?". I just counted. My Slack has 88 buttons on the screen at all times. There are 88 things I can click at any given time without scrolling on Slack. That's insane, and that's why. Wonder why you feel overwhelmed at work?

Wife is in the ER with an unknown infection. Prayers appreciated. They may need to do a spinal tap next. She doesn’t handle this stuff well and staff won’t let me go in so I’m stuck in the parking lot.

Also told me we can’t verify over the current phone number because it’s a personal line. I try to explain we don’t have a company line, we just forward a 1800 number to my cell. She’s not having any of it

I've spent the last week in Quickbooks Online and Xero. They are both so terrible. Who is fixing this problem? Mind blowing there isn't a startup working on friendlier accounting software.

Also I can’t stress enough how much you should ignore everything telling you Dungeon Crawler Carl is dumb and not something you’d enjoy. It’s amazing. The audiobook is perfection and you must at least listen to one that way.

Insanely proud of my two cofounders @jordanlwalkerrr and @huntermoonshot who worked for little pay, nights and weekends, and trusted me as CEO to ensure that was only temporary. Happy to see this news finally go live today. techcrunch.com/2020/08/24/ya…

We rebuilt our entire app from scratch and ditched SwiftUI for Flutter.
But Apple dropped the new SpeechAnalyzer API for on-device transcription… and Flutter had no way to use it.
So we built the bridge ourselves, and now it’s open source.

Today is my last day @yac. I'm so proud of everything the team accomplished these last few years and I'm more bullish on the space than I'll ever be.
So why am I stepping down as CEO and handing the reigns over to my co-founders?

Historically...that symbol is a sacred religious icon which was co-opted by the Nazis. I really hate how we let symbols define ideology. We give people the power to "bother us" when we let them simply compact all their ideology into a simple icon and then we get enraged by it. It's time to ignore icons and pay attention to people.
Reminds me of this scene from Arrested Development.

Today was strange. I spent the bulk of my day with a family I’ve never spoken to, and it felt so natural and easy.
I was adopted as a baby. Today was my birth mom’s funeral. I carry a lot of guilt that she never got to meet my wonderful son Ace.
I didn’t grow up with a tight knit family. My parents were older, so all my relatives were older, or dead. Hanging with cousins and even a brother, who look like me, sound like me, and even think like me was surreal.
Heard so many stories about my mom today. So many things that couldn’t possibly be genetic but yet we share. So many things I didn’t know, that I missed out on.
My adoption was the reason I became a foster parent. Even if my birth mom and I spent more time apart than together she unwittingly changed so many lives by giving me up that day. So many kids I’ve been able to pour my love into as a direct result of her sacrifice.
I’m looking forward to building stronger ties to this side of my bloodline I never knew. If anything comes from this tragedy I hope it’s family. I wish I had done this earlier.
If you take anything from this, text that estranged family member. Call your parents, make up, spend time. You never know when it’ll be too late to put in the time.

Eh political and woke are different though. GTA is about picking up hookers, robbing banks, and guns guns guns. If anything it’s the proof that gamers don’t want woke. I hate the game and love the Last of Us 2 but I don’t quite agree with your point here.

Trady is buying domains and hosting sites they build themselves. I spoke to the owner of this particular domain and he said he didn't buy it, they did, and he had no idea it existed until I sent him the link.

When I was 13 my dad did me the biggest favor. He refused to buy me a computer.
Instead of buying me a computer, my dad would only help pay for the tools to build one myself.
I went around town fixing other people's PCs and slowly found/bought scraps to build my own.

Every month meetings waste 32 hours of our lives.
That’s $7,000-$20,000 a month for some startups.
Keep that up for 5 months and that’s a good chunk of your biz’s runway gone.
We help startups thrive with async 😉

When quarantine is over, Clubhouse stans will realize that most entertainment they enjoy is actually async and there’s a reason. Netflix, YouTube, Podcasts, Spotify. None of it is live.

This IS the answer though. Had a dev get hacked once and their Aws keys got exposed. It ran a big bill up on our account and we just worked with AWS to forgive the entire amount.

The other piece to the puzzle here is that nearly all their backlinks come from sketchy fake news sites with fake journalists using stolen photos from well known writers like @hugorifkind and @mmcintire. sundaespatacular.com/what-is… and edinburghstudentartsfestival… and dekumstreetdoorway.com/how-t…

1. You don’t know that dyes aren’t causing death
2. This is a logical fallacy. Cars cause 50,000 deaths per year. That doesn’t mean we should ban them or that we shouldn’t ban other things first.
