@gregisenberg Yes^6. Everything is exponential if you have the decision-making skills/experience. Sorta like the "work ON the business, not IN the business" maxim.
Also, it reveals another maxim: "You can't change people; you have to change the people."
@__apf__ When I lived in Ross, nobody found it very funny when I'd say I live right on the edge of Rick Ross and Tickle me 'ands, Elmo (the San Anselmo bastardization I'd pronounce in me best Cockney accent, guv)
Yet for some reason nobody found this funny.
@boardyai Building aaim to help credit unions and community banks lend against traditional and alternative assets like startup equity, not just FICO and ledger history. Boardy helped us find cocreators last year, now we would love to get in on Boardy Pro.
This is a whitespace for abstraction and protocol to win the day.
What happens when you strip away the vendor lock / KT risk and shift the skilled nuance from daily one-offs to training the corpus callosum?
You get 100, 1000, 10000 employees working ON the business instead of IN the business every day... that's going to be seismic.
But right now the frothy drama on the frontier is a distraction. Looking forward to what comes of it.
@mikulaja@current@soppstu I really dig @soppstu's origin story. Like I always say, an annoyance, blocker, grudge, PTSD are friggin' rocket fuel for founders.
@AlexH_Johnson Wait til they find out the accounting liability and accrual reserve burden for rewards programs. The timeline on that is longer than the lifespan of a crypto company. π€£
Wait, I could not help myself. I was right: garbage stats that distort survey science...
"Methodology: YouGov Profiles is based on continuously collected data through rolling surveys, rather than a single limited questionnaire. The figures used in this analysis are drawn from responses collected between March 2025 and March 2026. Data is nationally representative of adults (18+) in the U.S. and weighted by age, gender, education, region, and race."
@mikulaja That is terrible survey science.
I'm not even going to bother looking up the research instrument itself. But "overall" and "of which" is loaded with so much cognitive dissonance that I give a probability that infinitely approaches 1.00 that this is uselessly flawed research.
@Jason@twistartups@Lons A grudge (subliminal or not... in fact dev>nulling his name probably made better use of a few neurons) is rocket fuel, isn't it?
He probably bent the hockey stick up from 5 years to 2 by not just grinfucking you.
@mikulaja Some gut microbiome tests use a marker dye that turns your, um, bowel movements blue/purple.
Speaking of which, that cover art in Bolt's post seems like the corporate soul is communicating something, maybe it's blinking twice and needing help.
