First Remote Bootcamp: Complete ✅

After 16 weeks of full-time, remote web development training, 10 new developers presented what they've learned and built at Demo Day this month.

We are so proud of the work they've done and can't wait to see where their careers go! (1/2)

Cracking down on waiters’ tips - I guess this is what they meant when they said the 87,000 new IRS agents would only target the super rich - https://t.co/PZI3IsJNeb

After serving APAX Software for 13 years and helping the company make the Inc. 5000, Keith Kurzendoerfer is the first to earn the honor of having his jersey retired into the rafters of our office space.

We gathered this month to celebrate Keith and all of his hard work!

If you want to start a startup, the first step is to go to business school; that's obvious from the name "business school." Once you start it, make sure you have lots of meetings, to keep everyone on the same page. These meetings should consist mostly of Powerpoint presentations.

Almost 10 years ago, @ElectraMet was victorious at 5 Across.

Now, they're thriving and have recently moved into a new $6M facility in Lexington.

@WayneGretzky I just read this (https://t.co/csWibgVi2i) and want to pitch you on a startup investment from Kentucky. I know it's a long shot, but like you say, "you miss 100% of the shots..." If it helps, my business partner played hockey and we share political views :)

And this guy knows a bit about productivity…especially when it comes to building successful products.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

I'm in the US for the first time in 2 1/2 years, and talking face to face with people is immensely more productive than talking over Zoom. If Zoom were the default and someone just invented face to face, it would seem like an amazing step forward.

Anyone who got a C- in their HS math class will know what is wrong with this graph.
Anyone who got an A in their HS math class respectfully asks this organization to keep their 2 cents to themselves.
Be smart people. I know it's unpopular, but keep thinking for yourself.

@KamalaHarris What if I make less than $400k now, but hope to make far more than $400k someday...and don’t trust you to spend additional tax dollars wisely.
