@levelsio Not the classic VC type, a fund for just indie developers

I lost my job because I spoke to a man the way men speak to me.

This is why women leave the tech industry.

@CathieDWood Old economy investing in new economy. That’s how it should work

[Cathie Wood @CathieDWood]

Companies disrupting the traditional world order - like $TSLA and $SQ - are wise to hedge their fiat reserves with $BTC. Other companies in harm’s way because of disruptive innovation should be investing their cash in new technologies to avoid creative destruction.

We all love Atlassian ... the $60B SaaS leader that came out of Australia, not SF ... with 2 co-CEOs ... that was basically bootstrapped ... that spends its $$$ on R&D, not sales

Atlassian has now crossed $2B in ARR

Are you kidding me?????

Borat is nearly the most racist movie in history, overtly degrading the pple of #Kazakhstan. Yet many get "cancelled" for misusing a certain words out of context.

So Sacha Baron Cohen & authors get a free pass by the "left" because he attacks Giuliani?

When helping newbies:

Don't:
- Tell them what's wrong with what/how they learn
- Tell them to "work hard"
- Compare them to yourself or others

Instead:
+ Answer questions
+ Give kind code reviews
+ Be inclusive/welcoming
+ Ask them questions
+ Let them choose their own path

Before COVID-19: i was born in cities, always lived in cities, will always live in cities.

After COVID-19: i think we should move to the country side. It seems beautiful and very relaxing. I want a big garden at least.🤔

I had discussions like this with several friends by now.
