you never have to raise venture capital

[Matthew Prince 🌥 @eastdakota]

One more I forgot until just reminded:

3. Khosla Ventures wanted to invest in our Series C. Vinod took me, Michelle, and Lee out to dinner after he’d given us a term sheet. Near the end, Michelle and Lee got up to use the restroom. Vinod leaned over and said: “I’m impressed with you, not so much with them, what if you fire them and I’ll give you all their stock?” I think the charitable read was it was a test of my character. But I was so offended that we never spoke again. Literally blocked his number.

this is an ever-green take that I will continue to shout from the rooftops until anyone at all hears me

most businesses have misaligned incentives with you. so go support the ones that choose to align - it will benefit both of you in the long run.

[PopFlash @popflashsite]

lately we've had a huge influx of new players coming to popflash who just expect it to be free.

we need to adjust our psychology if we want beautiful experiences to exist.

free means YOU are the product, it means the platforms WILL NOT survive.

at popflash we charge a nominal fee and that keeps us afloat. it means we get to keep doing this for as long as you keep supporting it.

we don't sell your data, we don't invade your privacy, and we don't show you advertisements.

we charge you a fee and you get the platform. that's it. end of transaction.

@mitchellh thanks for building such a great suite of tools, & being a model OSS project.

[Daniel Saewitz @switz213]

@mitchellh sorry to bump a ghostty issue on twitter, but this has been broken (regression) for a few months without any official confirmation. seems to be pretty universal based on the comments.

there's a proposed fix, but it could use a maintainers eye.

Why are universities being run like hedge funds? Might they have too much capital?

Almost a decade ago, Scott Wilson, the chief investment officer at Washington University in St. Louis, placed about $50 million of the school’s money in SpaceX. https://t.co/48K5TPqJJL
