It sounds like Carta is marketing to early employees and not to accredited investors. There will be quick product market fit if employees prefer to join companies listed on CartaX.…

My friends are leaving for cities like LA where they expect to enjoy it more. In my experience the majority of new SF residents move in to start a new job - not for the food, night…

Saifedean Ammous writes pretty convincingly how a fixed money supply would be a good thing. I don’t know of any other unique benefit. It will be interesting to see how it plays out…

I have always regretted investing spare cash while feeling a sense of self imposed time pressure. I would sit on it until there is an opportunity you are excited about.

Working with 150ms handicap is not necessarily a bad thing for web developers.

It should eventually fall under consumer protection laws. Failing to report incidents on a status page is like failing to mention trans fat on a package label.

Data point - of my close friends in our 20s the stressed founders were the ones to go bald. It could be genetics, but it’s interesting.

I can see why they did it that way. Fixing the algorithm would require setting the base pay relative to delivery cost and then canceling orders that don’t tip enough to get accepte…

In my experience consulting opportunities come through personal connections and often to work with early stage clients that are not very technical. What you bring is experience the…

Off topic but it would be cool to have function types use just > for brevity, such as “add: int>int>int” and have equality operators use two characters, such as > >= <= ==.

It sounds like you do your best work to impress others. What if you hire a code mentor to review your code every couple weeks? It’s worth $100 if it works.

Value is captured at the point of sale for everything, not just ecommerce. Also, there’s a number of successful publicly traded logistics companies in the $20b to $70b range.

My great-grandmother died a month before her 100th birthday. Born in California with valid records and survived her husband by decades. She was pretty active and alert considering …

I have a friend who received a similar windfall at a young age. He bought multiple super cars for himself, paid off his parents mortgage, bought his sister and girlfriend a high en…
