Flying back to DFW tomorrow, without luggage the entire weekend. All of our baby’s clothing and food, my wife and I’s valuable, lost somewhere in Dallas. Hoping it’s not a lost cause.

First and last time flying @united this weekend. Flight to Edmonton was delayed 4 hours due to mechanical, missed connection in Denver resulting in a 7 hour layover, just to realize our bags were not even loaded onto the flight.

Kept an eye on the DFW to Houston flight all morning just to see it was delayed and wouldn’t make the connection to Edmonton. I called again, and the representative said our luggage is actually in Denver. I transferred to a supervisor, and now the bags are actually in DFW. Huh?

@galkon Insane. Congrats to everyone!

@galkon @Amplitude_HQ @posthog Yeah their recent marketing page redesign is a bit funky. It’s really solid once you get into the actual product though.

I’m just trying to approve code, not order a latte.

It’s all fun and games until that 5 minutes of vibe coding turns into 2 hours of debugging

[Russell Lowry @RussellLowry]

if it takes 5 meetings to approve 1 doc,
you’re not a startup
you’re a nonprofit

[Russell Lowry @RussellLowry]

Manually adding an “Approved” label in a Google Doc is the adult version of putting a gold star on your own homework.

Approvals should be trackable, accountable, and automated. Not vibes-based.
