👂Listen to your body 🏋️, get your sleep 😴 , and avoid a ☣️ culture that defines 👨‍💻👩‍💻 self worth on the team solely from productivity 💔 Startups are 🏃 a marathon and 🏃‍♂️ a sprint, but most of all they are 🏃‍♂️🏃🏃‍♀️ a team relay race: you only win if everyone finishes 🏁🖖

Heavy crypto regulations will be FTX's legacy 👇 1️⃣ FTX is the Enron of crypto 2️⃣ Enron was the catalyst for 409a regulations on option valuation 3️⃣ 409a compliance is a burden for all startups 4️⃣ 🤔 But what regulations will FTX be the catalyst for?

Socialist aid to Florida? I'm shocked they can't pull themselves up by their own bootstraps 🥸

Hurricane Ian is wreaking havoc along the Gulf Coast. Long-term federal relief funds may be needed to rebuild. But as @ProPublica & @NOLAnews recently showed, Congress can take anywhere from a few weeks to more than year to appropriate long-term aid: propublica.org/article/lake-c
How Long They Waited The amount of time between a disaster declaration and the appropriation of long-term relief dollars varies wildly. Here is a sampling of those time frames: •Hurricane Harvey (2017): 15 days •Hurricane Ida (2021): 32 days •Hurricane Sandy (2012): 93 days •Houston ice storm (2021): 223 days •Hurricane Sally (2020): 375 days •Hurricane Laura (2020): 398 days •California wildfires (2020): 404 days

“I called him ‘Pooh-Bah. He had seven or eight portfolios that dominated every aspect of the production of The Times, (...) the business side as to how much space we got, and how we filled it, and where the ads went. The whole design and structure of the paper was in his hands.”

I'll echo this - the work by client teams to orchestrate this entire transition to happen _between two blocks in the background_ is insanely impressive. It's been a privilege to watch it all get developed from so close 😄🦄

Be transparent about expectations. Acknowledge you’ve received it and is in your queue but you won’t get to it until [day]/[time]. Is that ok? So much of what we perceive as slow/fast is based on preconceived notions. Lack of communication defaults to those assumptions.

Senior engineers/lead developers: How the hell do you context switch between reviewing multiple PRs, everything else that comes with your job and then also working on complex projects yourself?

Netflix show has people "at work"... signing lots of documents.... in person @ an office. TV reflects our "shared reality delusion"- in actuality, this business would be conducted over DocuSign & Zoom. Watching this "memetic echo" is oddly eye opening to the rest of our media

Donald Trump is America's Benito Mussolini and I have no doubt he's privately proud of that comparison History teaches us the next decade will be an inflection point for democracy: I'm just not sure in which direction yet 🤞
