    This is a great example... except I think the right answer to "what exactly would you do in this case?" doesn't support your argument. I'd document that mobile Opera with Javascrip…

    This has changed - at least for me, in the US, Airbnb shows all-in pricing.

    You’re spot on. Bootstrapping a reputation is really hard (and expensive), and the very painful accreditation process makes it much harder (need students to get accredited, can’t o…

    I bought an M2 iMac for my parents. It’ll last at least five years for them - likely closer to 10. At that point, I’m happy to recycle or donate it and get them a new iMac - likely…

    Congrats on the launch! Curious how you fit into the landscape of award travel tolls like point.me and seats.aero. What are you doing differently & who’s your target user?

    The chili & other crockpot recipes were still going strong in S12 ("crockpots scale linearly with number of startups") - but pg was no longer cooking. Batch dinners are catered the…

    I remember loving the "Wishbone" shows on PBS as a kid... this reminds me of that but 100x better (kids are reading along with the movie, not having the movie replace the book). Lo…

    This podcast is wonderful – I'd recommend starting with the Paul Graham espisode.

    Making an app you spend significant time in every day more useful & powerful can be a path to PMF (see Slack vs Hipchat, for example) I’d argue Superhuman does have PMF - just in a…
