pre-chatGPT: phone a friend

agent v1: bad intern
agent v2: okay jr. engineer

You can work 5 days a week and succeed as a startup.
Mercury has done that from day 0 and we are valued @ $5.2bn 7 years after launch.
I have been an entrepreneur for 20 years and raised 3 kids while doing it.
The point of success is to have a great life not just a startup π
@Austen took my oldest when he was four and he has never had so much fun
put some risers in his shoes to get him just over the mark for most rides
experiencing disneyland through a child is a uniquely amazing experience
excited to return next year when my youngest turns four
I signed up for Mercury ASAP when I started Atom.
My previous co - I had to physically walk into a bank and wait 2 weeks for approval. Awful.
Invested in Mercury ASAP after using it. Light years ahead. And even better today - congrats Immad and team!
