Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.

Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

@gokulr I told you so! :)

Relative to native-born Americans, several countries' immigrants to America have produced vastly greater rates of unicorn founders.

In particular, Israel: with shockingly few people in the U.S., Israel is the #2 origin *in total* for foreign Unicorn founders.

@mattturck That’s the AI Birds???

Very cool.

[Mo @atmoio]

The greatest con of the decade was calling autocomplete “AI”.

The second greatest is calling autocomplete-in-a-loop an “agent”.

Happy Friday! @awscloud updated the query editor in RDS

does it auto complete table and column names? hell no.

I'm on Max 20x so I'm fine.

Flagging for anyone on Pro who's about to find out.

No announcement. Just a pricing page edit.

Amazing news of avoiding catastrophic decision.

Thriving small business economy is the lifeline of prosperity and growth of a community.

Thank you @TechNYC @juliepsamuels @nihalmehta for your leadership on this matter!!!

Big news for NY startups! QSBS is here to stay.

From @politico: the idea now “seems to be moot” following strong, coordinated engagement from across the tech community—including a @TechNYC letter with 1,600+ founders, early employees, and investors.

This is a clear example of what’s possible when the ecosystem shows up together. We’re grateful to everyone who spoke out and helped ensure policymakers understood what was at stake.

New York remains the best place to build. 🗽

[Tech:NYC @TechNYC]

A proposed change to QSBS in NY has demonstrated how quickly and willing the New York tech community is to work together to support our ecosystem. At stake is a major shift in policy that would tax startup gains at up to 14.8% in New York City, retroactively, just as other states move to attract founders and capital. The tech industry is one of the largest and fastest-growing areas of New York's economy, accounting for 41% of the city’s net new jobs since 2019. 

Builders are paying attention, and they are mobile. The decisions made now will shape where companies are started, where talent stays, and where the next generation of innovation happens. 

Founders and investors who care about the future of building in New York, add your name by tomorrow at noon: https://t.co/xJVOpmznM5
