I sold a chair to a dude on marketplace and I got an invite to his (and his partner's) housewarming party, is this how you make friends in your 30s?

@jamesacowling It's amazing when you find balance, it makes working on hard things feel so much more manageable

@Railway Love this write up! Ttly get the why dogfood reason but with something like a status page, it seems like quite a bit of added complexity to then build an escape hatch for when the platform is down. Why not just host fully on Cloudflare?

@stevekrouse @tempo A lot of city clerk's offices use fax! I had to physically fax a document a few years ago and got laughed at by someone at the Fedex print and ship bc I didn't know how

[Divya @shortdiv]

@wesbos I used to have a giant crush on bocoup!

[Divya @shortdiv]

@rcgraff @thesamparr There's def a balance. I used to hate owning things and lived in so many furnished sublets through my 20s. Now I live in a place with things I've curated and the feeling of that is genuinely unbeatable

I'd like to think we still have some semblance of the pay it forward, let's help each other culture though this happens largely *outside* vc and profit margins

I feel bad saying this but tech in the 2010s was the luckiest shit ever in your 20s

> jobs paid well and didn't have too insane hours or travel

> they would actually give 20 year olds responsibility and take chances on people + train them up

> tech was viewed largely positive by society

> everyone helped and knew each other with a very pay it forward culture because everything was growng

> VC subsidized lifestyle for everything like Ubers and food delivery

> set up exactly at the right point for AI wave where you're still comfortable and excited to learn new tools but have enough subject matter or managerial expertise

I am very self aware of how lucky threading that needle was

@rough__sea is this the episode where you start hunting?

[Divya @shortdiv]

Sometimes ai is a footgun because it sends you down a spiral of networking hell, only for the real issue to be an untrusted cert ffs

[Divya @shortdiv]

@designtako Definitely, it's interesting that this emulates the age old human dev<>designer gap, designers provide pixel perfect markup and devs want composable architecture. I'd love to see an AI tool build a durable design system

[Divya @shortdiv]

@jlongster huge fan of dogfooding!

[Divya @shortdiv]

Tried experimenting with a handoff from Claude design to Codex and wow throwing mocks over the wall is so back lol

[Divya @shortdiv]

@can in singapore, we say "can" with varying intonation to express emphasis, skepticism and/or exasperation

[Divya @shortdiv]

hugops to the Cloudflare folk, great reason for the rest of us to go touch some grass or stare at plants, which has been my latest thing

[Divya @shortdiv]

@pomber @threepointone Cooool, my initial goal was to compare features across agents when building on top of agents sdks, but I love this use case! Might try to build a version of this into the site over the weekend

[Divya @shortdiv]

@pomber @threepointone Oh interesting! I haven't explored this idea, is this mainly to understand what features are available to use in the codex app or to build on the existing agent?

[Divya @shortdiv]

@feross @SocketSecurity @ThriveCapital Congrats! So cool to see the growth y'all have made!

[Divya @shortdiv]

@Duderichy Or they just interview really well. It’s selection bias either way, It takes a certain type to stay and excel in startup land

[Divya @shortdiv]

@boristane lol

[Divya @shortdiv]

@can Longing for the simplicity of a different era and also the charging hassle

[Divya @shortdiv]

@threepointone techie in the tweets, luddite in the streets
