Miter raised a $40M Series B, and we celebrated the only way we knew how: we drove a big purple van from SF to NYC to visit as many customers as possible.

It's time to build!

Some news! Today, I am launching @RangerNetHQ – the first and only AI product that writes, runs, and maintains QA tests that find real bugs.

Ranger’s mission is to power testing for the world’s most ambitious engineering, product, and design teams so they can get back to building. Our tech is already used by companies like OpenAI and we’re excited to share more about what we’ve been building.

Lines going up and to the right make me happy 🙃

@DanHollick @GoWanderlog for tracking everything on more planned out trips, otherwise keep a basic list of recs from insta + reddit + friends

Biking in SF, driver turns on left turn signal and proceeds to swerve right across the bike lane 😑

[Alex Chen @alexchenhz]

Interested to see the neighborhood take shape, and wondering how the team is planning on tackling long term financial sustainability and incremental development, with such a large upfront investment and the years-long time required to build and test these urban interventions.

[Alex Chen @alexchenhz]

@ndrewgao got me hooked on @StrongTowns and @notjustbikes, so curious what they’d think of @culdesac’s approach.

[Ryan Johnson @ryanmjohnson]

Excited to share that we’ve raised a $30M Series A led by @KhoslaVentures, along with @foundersfund, LENx (@Lennar), Byers Capital, @ziggcap, and @Initialized.

This capital will accelerate our mission to build cities for people, not cars.

I wrote out that "frontend/backend engineering leads to job mismatch" Tweet thread into an essay. Check it out!

Shoutout to @bolu_ben for encouraging me to do this.

BREAKING: First years, juniors and seniors may return to on-campus housing in the fall. In order to maintain the on-campus population at about 60% of normal throughout the year, Yale will allow sophomores, juniors and seniors on campus in the spring.

Built an MVP of a "newsletter of newsletters” service with @ndrewgao, trying to tame those email subscriptions @mozillabuilders

An app drawer. Widgets on the home screen with different sizes. Picture-in-picture video. Stop me if you’ve seen this before 🤓

Relistening to the “Seeing White” podcast series on @SceneOnRadio, can’t recommend it enough for anyone who wants to learn about the history of whiteness in the US. https://t.co/d2wSaWSX4u

Excited to help keep patients safe!

Do you run a small healthcare clinic?

Are you trying to minimize human contact in your waiting room?

My Stanford students created a solution to help you. Website: https://t.co/3f2lvXg4Sn

[BJ Fogg @bjfogg]

I invite you to give feedback on Project #2 from my Stanford students

They had just 2 weeks to tackle a coronavirus challenge for a small group. They used methods from Behavior Design.

Your input is super helpful (thank you!)

[BJ Fogg @bjfogg]

My Stanford students need your input. (What you say will influence their next project)

What are the biggest challenges we face because of Coronavirus?
