I Donβt tweet much but last nights build day deserves a shout.
Well executed, great people, @nickfrosst QA showed me how brilliant he was.
eavesdropped and overheard @1vnzh is apparently a Workhorse.
Love the trajectory of the city π¨π¦
@thsottiaux i want to be able to edit/audit code while using it. Not just yell out prompt and switch to vscode see if i agree with the implementation.
make it like cursor '25 but with the horse power of the new models....... NOT EVERYONE IS A VIBE CODER
@fahdananta first dumb take i've seen you make man.
Uber was my first time being on an elite team. And looking back, i understand why everyone was there, skill + temperament wise.
i say that to say, most managers know what they're when they collate a team.
@tokifyi in TO: go to St Lawrence market, Nathan Phillips square , or Dundas square.... immaculate vibes.
Also, almost a 1/3 of people you'd meet down there are tourists that are fun af.
shotgunned beers with some rando Portugese last night when germany won. reminded me of my frat days
Everything is a prediction market. When you buy a stock, a house, or an option, you're betting an asset moves your way. @Wealthsimple@Predict just makes those positions easier to access. It's no different from trading futures, only more approachable.
It's not for everyone, which is why it's a separate app. Is it risky? It can be, but so is trading, where most traders don't beat the index. Should we ban that too? Let people take the risks they choose.
What surprised me was the reaction. So many founders and people in tech sawing "this shouldn't be allowed" or "this should be regulated." (It already is, through CIRO). But that's the bigger problem here: it keeps getting harder to build in Canada, and the first instinct is still to reach for rules instead of welcoming something new.
Go build things.

my worst VC story:
[unnamed] partner stopped me mid pitch. this was pre-covid so these were all in person
he walked up to me and whispered in my ear "damn ur a hot piece of ass"
he smacked my butt and said he wanted my whole seed round
i was offended and left his bedroom immediately
@dhasandev my question is why people need more than one harness. Two MAX. Unless you're non technical and a "it didn't work" rage prompter. One harness should be enough.
@RhysSullivan@benhylak Funny enough, all the killers i've worked alongside that actually made contributions that moved the needle. didn't work 247 in the traditional sense. They often had this sixth sense of when to step on the gas and when chase curiosity driven rabbit holes..... Barely writing code
elon was right with "Building a startup is like chewing glass while staring into the abyss". Only thing missing is that while doing you have to have masturbatory thoughts of the end destination.
Cus just being a "nerd who loves to tinker" isn't enough to withstand the pain.
