Unexpected financial collateral damage from the recent Great Eggflation:

Due to all others being out of stock, I was forced to either go eggless or buy these fancy expensive eggs

Bought them and realized the yolks are 10x oranger. The eggs taste better

Now I can never go back

@NYCMayor @GovKathyHochul Had a crazy person screaming about killing white women on my train this morning, then he slapped an innocent bystander for “wearing camo”.

I then tell a police officer on the platform to which their response was, “if I didn’t see it what can I do to help?”

Pathetic

Rodney Mullen is the "Godfather" of skateboarding for inventing most of the sport's tricks.

He started the first skateboarder-owned company, which he eventually sold for $46 million.

In his 50s now, he still skateboards every day.

He attributes his sustained success to this:

"It's such a gift to be able to [do] something and to love it for the sake of it...I have that. I’ve nurtured it in my life."

"I see people with talent, with all those things," he says, "but the one thing they don't have is just that love for doing it for the sake of it...So if there's anything, just find joy in what you do for the sake of it."

There's a word for what Rodney's describing:

Autotelic.

From the Greek "auto" (self) & "telos" (end), an Autotelic is "someone or something that has a purpose in, and not apart from, itself."

As opposed to someone who views their work as a means to some end (money, fame, etc.)—for an Autotelic...

"The work is the win," as Ryan Holiday likes to say.

Since you control the work you put in and not how it’s received...

"Ultimately, you have to love doing it," Ryan once told me. "You have to get to a place where doing the work is the win and everything else is extra.”

You have to "find joy in what you do for the sake of it."

"The closer we get to the core of all being, the more synonymous the effort and its reward.”

I think there’s a pretty decent chance:

- Google continues to print money
- Nobody really Bings anything
- The copilot integration in Office is janky and inaccurate so it doesn’t get traction
- People like rectangles so UI will continue to exist

We’re just in a hype cycle

I met a startup founder who is building Uber Pool but the cars only go on a city's most popular routes on a predefined schedule.

My dude you just invested a bus.

Normalize saying “quarter gallon of milk” instead of saying a “quart of milk”

Founder tip: If you need to get to SF last-minute to pitch VCs before the holidays but all the flights are booked, Uber is not a bad choice. It only costs ~30% of your Seed round.
