@jayyeh if you haven't seen the show this quote is from, you're not deserving of my pizza recs. Go study the blade and return when you're ready.

Sbarros, my favorite New York pizza joint. I'm going to go get me a New York slice!

[Jason Yeh @jayyeh]

just landed in NYC.

what’s everyone’s must-get food when they’re in town?

mine is usually whatever the newest / hottest bagel shop is
but i need more ideas

side note: $150 uber into manhattan from the airport is completely insane

Nice little feature from @vercel. If you paste in the whole string from your env.local, it automatically parses out the key and value for you

new york tech week is just one long humiliation ritual

"The mechanical skill you sweated for, turning a clear idea into clean code, has gotten dramatically less valuable. The thing that’s still scarce is a deep, verified model of some real domain."

@BryanOffutt if you get the nepo money, the least you can do is get some DPI!

Which venture fund you choose to work at is probably the biggest early career decision VCs will make.

This is actually exactly my personal story:

I joined a tiny first time fund out of college as an analyst. It's not on my LinkedIn anymore, so you can guess how well it went.

The fund was terrible. Most of the money came from the dad (and his friends) of one of the GPs, who would disappear for months at a time btw. The partners would ghost introductions I made to founders I liked. They would never do deals where the price was anything other than a bargain. It was absolutely horrible.

I completely burned out because of all of this and eventually got laid off / fired / some gray area. I went to go work at startups, moved to SF, learned a little bit about writing and marketing. I thought I was completely done with VC funds, totally burned from my first dip in the pool.

And then 4+ years ago I warily joined Amplify because they seemed different (absolute weirdos). I've now ben here 2x as long as any other job I've had. The right fund and the right people make all the difference...please do your research and make sure you are joining a place that will do well by you.

Many won't.

P.S. that fund never raised fund 2 or made any money, so I am at least somewhat vindicated.

Where you start your VC career can make or break it. Most people choose wrong. My thoughts after nearly twenty years of hiring and promoting junior VCs.

@dauber lol

Something weird is going on with Claude

[sisyphus bar and grill @itunpredictable]

No, I don't think I will.

I am starting a new index fund that will track the S&P 500 but not include Anthropic, OpenAI, or SpaceX. DM for access

[sisyphus bar and grill @itunpredictable]

@dhaval_txt this and their listed retail prices across the catalogue. otherwise agree

[sisyphus bar and grill @itunpredictable]

Trust me bro. It's worth $95,000. It's not even technically quartz, bro.

[sisyphus bar and grill @itunpredictable]

@samlambert @justinspratt but who is the audience that one builds from this?

[sisyphus bar and grill @itunpredictable]

@jmduke when else would you eat it? idiots.

[sisyphus bar and grill @itunpredictable]

@StreetNightLive FWIW, I've been into the store on a couple of weekends with 0 line

No. You need to be posting selfies on LinkedIn with a tenuous thematic relationship to the accompanying text, which describes your father's last dying words:

"I wish I sold more B2B SaaS."

In the era of people vibe coding up 10% of a product in a couple of weeks and slapping a landing page on it, how do you build a successful company? Talk to customers, fix bugs, solve problems.

So, same as ever.

@f73f73f73 @MerrillLutsky because it's ugly as fuck and very expensive
