@joshelman @infoxiao "Which days are you in the city?"

[Chris Neumann @ckneumann]

I am so stoked for this.

🇨🇦 The dome of Science World in Vancouver has been transformed into a giant official match ball of the World Cup 2026 ahead of the tournament.

@ankurnagpal You should spent more time in Montreal. Tech events there have everyone from 20 year olds to 70 year olds and there's nothing weird about it.

@ivanburazin I actually think we're going to see a return to solution selling (remember that?).

Not only will human salespeople be premium signals, most buyers won't be able to keep pace with the rate-of-change of tech.

@Noahpinion Dingles Public House is a new favorite (upscale British pub food).

@signulll Everyone I know who works in near-real time fields (commodities trading, high-frequency trading, etc.) loves it.

There's an almost competitive / sport-like feel to the way they talk about it.

@jayyeh I really didn't get how/why Twitch became a thing until I watched my then-7 year old become an S-tier Mario Kart player by going back-and-forth between his Switch and YouTube.

@pitdesi @RevivedThoughts Does it count if the night was spent on an airport bench because of a delayed flight? 🤣

[Chris Neumann @ckneumann]

@RakeshSFNYC HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No. Not a chance 🤣

Maritimes are awesome. Amazing food, great people. Pretty interesting tech scene too.

[Chris Neumann @ckneumann]

@ivanburazin Yeah...

@RakeshSFNYC Halifax acts as a hub for the entire Atlantic Canada region. There are daily Air Canada flights (which usually book up well in advance, as the alternatives are layovers in Toronto, Montreal or Ottawa).

@Noahpinion Why has no one combined a drive-in movie with a sushi boat experience? 🍣

@TheAuthorGuy I legit do not remember ever seeing this ad.

Must have missed the super bowl that year 🤷‍♂️

@jasonlk Early in Aster Data (when it was the 3 cofounders + me and 996 was the norm), we were preparing to ramp up hiring.

I spent a month convincing them that we should stop doing "all-hands" meetings at 8pm on Friday nights.

...in case we wanted to hire someone who had a life 😂

@ritwikpavan I'm a huge Tumi fan. They're really thoughtful when it comes to how the various pouches and slots are designed. They're also rugged as hell (my previous Tumi Tech roller lasted 12+ years).

@chrislevan24 Don't.

Understanding how important breaks are to your performance is key to success.
