@eveegdmann Really don't want to get in politics. I just want to help invent and develop technologies that improve lives. Feels so bizarre.

VC: we only want to invest in companies that can become profitable

**1 year later**

VC: great progress, can we invest?

Company: we're profitable, so we don't need your money now

VC: no, not like that

Not sure if this is an indication as to how broken the property / rental market is in the US or actually a core contributor to it

Soon, people weren’t just traveling on Airbnb, they were living on Airbnb.

In 2021, around 20% of our nights booked were for stays of a month or longer, and nearly 50% for a week or longer

@NathanClark_ Congrats!

My wife and I paid off our $500k mortgage in 2 years by doing the following:
- Worked 9-5, saved aggressively
- Cut our avocado toast and boozy brunches
- Sold a startup for $10m in cash

It’s that simple

Me: TikTok, that app for teens?
@hughstephens: Their algo is really good

Goddamn he was right, blows almost every other content source out of the water for me now.

@FrontHQ Apps feel like a downgrade to me. Why is swipe left to snooze red? You could both snooze and delete in the old version from swiping.

So to delete you need to long click each message, click the burger link then click delete or leave everything you want to delete until the end 🤦‍♀️

I swear some developer at Xero is trolling Safari users with some rand() code that freezes pages every so often.
