Don’t launch something too pretty. It may lead you to thinking you have product-market fit but you may actually just have design-designers fit.

being a formerly homeschooled person in your early 20’s means that half of your old friends that you find on facebook are nonbinary seminarian bernie supporters and the other half already have three kids by a member of the proud boys

Sometimes I wonder how many of the post-Rails frontend-first web developers out there are completely unaware that you can build an application that lives on a server, talks directly to an SQL database, and sends fully rendered HTML to the client.

Here’s the constitutional equilibrium we are rapidly approaching: the president can literally do anything he wants as long as he has 34 votes in the Senate voting to protect him.

intelligence is knowing that Frankenstein wasn't the monster. wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein actually WAS the monster. enlightenment is knowing to shut the fuck up about it.

Being a founder is hard. Being an early employee is hard. Being a VC is hard. Being a politician is hard. Being an engineer is hard. Being a writer is hard. Being a friend is hard. Being a partner is hard. Being a parent is hard. It's all hard. Life is hard, and then you die.

I haven't called anyone a racist, a sexist, a bigot, a homophobe in years. It wasn't productive to assume someone's intentions (unknowable, about them). Instead, I focus on impact (knowable, about me). Words I use to describe policies instead: lazy, hurtful, ineffective

In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings. On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose… 500 to Medical errors 300 to the Flu 250 to Suicide 200 to Car Accidents 40 to Homicide via Handgun Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.

These centrist liberals whose entire platform is "electibility" are amazing. Do they think we all have collective amnesia that they are doing everything exactly the same as the person who *lost* last time?

Yo' momma's so stupid she thinks an innocent man would falsify records, try to fire investigators, dangle pardons and tamper with witnesses while it rains indictments on everyone around his guilty ass.
