I cannot find the person who made this- during the 45 admin- but there is no better representation of my current thinking, and I am 100% making my own for the next local rally.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Stacks of wood from the Airbnb we rented in Colorado mountains near Jefferson. Best stacks of wood I’ve seen since Austria 😊

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!!

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

The values and character of Slack resonated more deeply with me than any other company I’ve worked. The depth of humanity was humbling.

We did many things fairly well at Slack. One thing we never did well, however, was figuring out how much office space we’d need. We outgrew our Clementina Street office in July of 2014, just five mont...

I've been thinking about and working to understand Free Software, Open Source, and business for a very long time. Thanks to @kelseyhightower.com, I tried to distill all of that into a single talk: youtu.be/rmhYHzJpkuo - I'm very proud of it, and I hope it helps you. :)

I created a little gift exchange webapp this morning with the help of Claude. We used it to generate our yearly family "secret santa" assignments this morning, but you are free to use it to. It's stateless with all data stored as base64 URL parameters.

The Beyond A* paper is fascinating. In it they use algorithmic techniques (A*) to solve a problem to produce a large dataset of training data to use to train a neural network to reach the same level of performance as the algorithm… 1/2

Compare Bluesky's 20M user milestone at +1M users per day (!!) to Facebook in 2007: 20M users, growing 100k per day. Different times + precedents but this growth the last two weeks is incredible 💙.

In the 3X: Explore/Expand/Extract model people ask about the transition from Explore to Expand. How do you know when it's time?
Answer: The market tells you. Like this. You can't force it.

This keeps getting truer! However, both knowing how things work and leveraging these tools is like a turbo booster. It’s important to balance the mental atrophy though.
In the age of AI, short form video and hot takes, the competitive advantage of the future is the ability to go deep, read the docs, build something new, learn hard things that take time.
