Incredible talent, and even stronger output.

@Sekani__Solomon So smooth. Matching the wheel to the UI and then transitioning to the other side to use the light to communicate speed 👌

[Austin Knight @ustinKnight]

@lochieaxon Very cool. This closes some of the perceived gap between web and native.

I’m now far enough removed to comment as an outsider with no inside knowledge.

Square’s GPV growth acceleration is not to be overlooked. There was a ton of work over 2 years that is now finally showing up in the numbers. I fully expect it to continue and get better.

.@jack's story of Steve Job's return to Apple sounds a lot like Jack's return to @blocks

Jack "came back" to Block in '23 H2. Block did nothing on the surface from '23-'25 H1.

Right now is 2-year mark of his "return" and Block is on overdrive, cranking out products. $XYZ
