Q4 Pod Retention Update:

For the first time ever, I didn’t lose a single AirPod.

Huge win, considering past units have chosen “remote work from the Caribbean” without notice.

Growth is growth.

The hardest part of building a new product category was never the technology. It was the conviction to build what the market didn't know it needed yet.

Casting to TVs. The smartwatch. Wireless earbuds. Every big bet looked risky, right up until it wasn't.

That gap between why would anyone want this and how did we live without it is where the real magic happens.

It's what I do now with teams building the future of AI hardware. All I can say is that the future is looking extremely bright again for hardware.

Imagine typing “graduated between 2020–2024” into a job description and thinking, “yes, this is a reasonable way to evaluate talent.”

We’re cooked.

@doomcelled @deans_ @Aqloe5 @YIMBYLAND You’re arguing history and missing the joke. Nobody is claiming Black people invented sitting on stairs! It’s about a recognizable cultural trope.

[lexie @a0k]

@doomcelled @deans_ @Aqloe5 @YIMBYLAND The joke is that stoop culture tends to align with Black Brooklyn/90s NYC aesthetics, so white gentrifiers adopting it is being mocked as cultural imitation.

Like how people might joke about rich transplants moving to Montana and suddenly cosplay-ing as rugged ranchers.

Crypto bros please listen when I say,

WOMEN IN THIS INDUSTRY ARE NOT TRIAL RUNS FOR YOUR SOCIAL SKILLS

Please for the love of god, go outside and talk to more women than just the ones you see at conferences

…or at least start pay us to beta test you all

Something’s gotta give.
