PRINCIPAL FORCED TO RESIGN AFTER HELPING A HOMELESS STUDENT
Rob Burnside, the former principal of Lakota East High (@EAST_HAWKS) in Ohio, was REMOVED from his position after he housed a 16-year-old homeless student so he could keep attending school.
The teen’s home life was unstable, and he was forced to sleep in a car. His dad’s trailer didn’t have heat, and his mom moved outside the district.
When Rob found out, he took the boy into his home so he could continue attending school.
When the school found out, they threatened Rob with termination.
The student offered to leave the school and his home to protect Rob's job, but Rob REFUSED.
Rob decided NOT to cave to the school's threats, and sacrificed his career to continue supporting Hayes.
Rob and his wife are now Hayes' legal guardians.
Rob and his wife have 6 other children, including 2 adopted ones.
The boy has since graduated and is now working toward becoming an aviation mechanic.
Our goal for 2026 was to 3x Laravel Cloud revenue. Already done. On pace to 5x. ✨
I know some companies are growing a lot faster or a lot slower, but here are some of my learnings so far.
Focus on making the product decisively the best in its category. Easy to be distracted from this, and there are no gimmicks or tricks to get around it. The product is either the best option in the space or it's not. Being the "best" is a blend of a lot of factors - technical superiority, features, price, design, and more. Striking the right balance across all of them gets tricky when your customer base or community is really varied (long-tail community users vs. large scaled companies).
A lot of what goes into the above isn't always visible to end users or even other people in the organization. We spent months getting our scale-to-zero tech for app compute and managed queues really dialed in. Can be hard to explain to non-engineering roles why we spent months on this - and even hard to explain to more technical folks why something doesn't ship for months. But the work is hard and it has to be done right. Now it's one of our biggest differentiators and contributes heavily to "decisively being the best product."
I used to think all meetings were dumb. Most still are, to be honest, but a few are helpful - particularly quick pulse checks on the state of projects. Does anything need to be unblocked? What's the goal today / this week? Maintaining urgency and speed in a remote company is really challenging and takes intentional effort every single day.
I spend a lot of time just sitting and thinking about everything. A lot of frantic energy online and nothing of substance or value ever ships. I'd rather make a few really thoughtful moves than throw a bunch of slop at the wall.
X is an even bigger bubble than I realized. On here it feels like everyone is just building devtools for other devs to build more devtools. None of our largest customers are really on X, none are in SF, and none are devtool related. We have a wide variety of really interesting customers building things to solve all sorts of problems you'd never expect, all around the world.
Anyway, back to work. Still a lot to build. 🫡
BREAKING: The secret vaccine purchase agreement that South Africa signed with Pfizer has been released.
Unknown efficacy
Unknown adverse events
Unknown long term effects
Leaders around the world recklessly turned their citizens into lab-rats by signing this garbage. Insane.
A Parkinson’s patient says his debilitating tremor vanished within minutes thanks to a newly approved, non-invasive ultrasound treatment.
For years, 72-year-old Air Force veteran Bud Leavell struggled with severe tremors that kept him from living life to its fullest.
Then doctors at UT Southwestern used focused ultrasound waves to target precise areas deep in his brain... without opening his skull.
At his latest follow-up, the tremor remained under control. His response when asked how he was doing? “What tremor?”
Bishop David is building the Ark. They said it is a waste of money.
They said, "Of what usefulness is it?" They said he should have built a factory instead.
Pastor Chris Oyakhilome unveils electric cars, and they said, "Business is businessing." They said the church is a place of the Word and prayer not for manufacturing.
I concluded that it's not about building a big auditorium or not.
Anything you do and attach the name of Christ to will suddenly become a problem.
It's not the building or the car they have a problem with. It is the name of Jesus.
New road traffic rules: Drivers can use their phones to record interactions with police officers during traffic stops, and the recording may be admitted as evidence in court.
