1/ Today, I’m excited to announce @SquintAI's $40M Series B, led by @TheWestlyGroup & @TCVTech, with participation from existing investors @sequoia & @MenloVentures.

Manufacturing is the foundation of the world around us & Squint has quickly become a household name in the industry.

Derek Sivers has this log he publishes of the people he meets around the world (https://t.co/FZNVy9xnay), I think it's really cool. There's definitely ways to do non-creepy "relationship management" - putting your friend's birthdays on a calendar is super useful, for example.

They all read that book "how to win friends and influence people"

Anyway one guy in uni would come to me and ask me about my drum & bass night I played at months ago, I realized there was no way he could remember that because we were vague acquintances, turns out he had a personal CRM of ALL the students and would keep notes on everyone

Another guy I knew as digital nomad did the same, he'd log creepy details about you from things you said in personal conversations

None of these two people got anywhere btw, both were quite high IQ though

Point is treating people like database entries is the least personal thing you can ever do and is actually how you NOT make friends and NOT influence people

Sociopaths

@veebeeaisdee @nicholaschen__ Total of 500 applications throughout the recruitment cycle. In the first 4 posting rounds you can only submit around 50 per round, but after that the limits are lifted until the end of the term.
