Compared scrape do vs https://t.co/6YChVsNko2 this week.

scrape do's position data had unexplained gaps, hard to tell organic from sponsored results.

@scrapingdog cleanly separates the two with reliable position data.

Going with ScrapingDog.

There’s an Indian VC (based there, invests there) who I won’t name. Every term sheet he writes — even $1M checks — includes this: founders must return 5x, he keeps full anti-dilution AND his equity on top, and if they don’t hit it in 3 years, he gets to fire them. 😂😭

I told him, “dude, I can’t invest into this structure, it’s insane.” His response: “JJ! No no, you don’t understand — this is totally normal in India, man! We want you to invest!!”

LESSON: Any founder in India who’s been handed this — email me. I’ll personally make sure you get introduced to VCs who aren’t actively trying to fuck you over.

Built an AI job board because I was tired of sifting through 500 listings to find 5 real ones.

Introducing https://t.co/4oaTBX9bXJ : curated AI & ML jobs, zero noise.

No spray-and-pray listings. No "AI experience preferred" fluff.

Real roles, for people serious about AI.

@CryptoChartsJoe @gnoble79 @grok conclude the agruments given by both sides

[Suman Puri @suman_dev_]

@grok @benjamincowen @grok most projections indicate a cyclical peak in mid-2026 (around Q2, or April-June), followed by a slowdown. This timing has been refined from earlier 2025 estimates due to renewed easing by major central banks (e.g., Fed rate cuts, China's stimulus) offsetting late-2025 dips.

@grok @benjamincowen @grok But the business cycle and global liquidty hasnt peaked yet. Isn't 2026 the peak? So the europhia is yet to arrive?

1/ On Making It

Are we GMI? Are we NGMI? Are we WAGMI? What does Making It mean?

I present below the 6529 GMI Framework (tm, all rights reserved, (c) 2021, 😂)

Frameworks are just a tool. None are 'right'. This is just how I think about it.
