@stripesupport Thanks. I responded via DM with the details you need. Looking forward to finally getting this resolved after 7 days.

How long does it take @stripe to address a business-critical issue? One of our clients has been unable to take orders for 7+ days due to a Stripe Connect account disconnection. Repeated escalation requests and still no timeline. We need this resolved. @patrickc @StripeDev

@cgenco @andrewculver Yea, that was bad. Probably the worst I was ever on was from Providence to Philadelphia to catch a connection. I've flown a lot and have experience turbulence, but never that bad. I white knuckled the armrests and literally kept hoping they'd turn around and go back.

Another epic episode of the SG podcast with @SingleFounder, where we discuss building SaaS companies, how to start from zero, and much more.

@WindAddict If they send you candy corn, then yes.

The TinySeed Millionaire Rate is 43%.

Definition: Of @tinyseedfund companies no longer in operation (sold OR shut down), 43% of those founders are now millionaires.💰

This % will obviously change over time. It's still early, and the numbers are still small (~2% of companies have shut down. ~4% have sold).

But this is yet another reminder of how resilient and insanely valuable SaaS companies are.

Personally, I find this number incredible. Much higher than I would have expected, and it brings me nothing but joy knowing the lives that have been changed through entrepreneurship.

@RobbiewOnline Nothing on SFTROU lately or coming soon. Mostly just keeping my head down and plugging away. Business is still pretty stable and tech stack is doing pretty well again. Getting ready to push for more customers now that those issues are mostly resolved.

At YCBM we:

- Over 20,000 customers.

Success doesn’t happen overnight.

@doreenmartel @AndyOstroy @gmail Yes. I've been seeing a lot of errors over the last 24 hours. It appears to be a problem connecting to the servers on the target ports. Might connect a couple of times, then errors as if the port is closed, then connects again, etc.

Dear @firstcitizens, when you took over after SVB imploded, you said no changes were forthcoming, but I see you tripled one of your fees. What's that about? Great way to rebuild trust. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm out.

Solo founder tip: When you run into a software architectural problem, if you explain the details to ChatGPT and ask it for suggestions on how to resolve it, the results can be reasonably helpful. Basically it's a great sounding board that you can "argue" with.

@dzchristinaghk It's called Road Trip. The basic idea is you're a band on tour and attempting to become the band with the longest road trip. Mostly a numbers game that's got some randomness thrown into it.

@chaddeshon Hey, someone brought your game to board game night!

@lovevalgeisler Three emojis, two haiku's and a partridge in a pear tree.

@einarvollset Do you accept rubbery checks? ;)

@daverodenbaugh @earthlingworks @robwalling @MicroConf Yea that was the worst part of that place. Couldn’t even have a conversation.

@earthlingworks @daverodenbaugh @robwalling @MicroConf I know for a fact I included the photo, but I’ll try it again…
