Jasmin Paris Jasmin Paris finished loop five of the #BM100 in 59:58:21.

Not universally true, but I find that many of the best early stage (<10 people) teammates (incl. founders) have some sort of penchant for Type 2 fun. Could be extreme sports, a hobby, or even day trading. The willingness to tolerate pain for a higher high (reward) checks out...

Hot take: Using dashboards for analysis is an antipattern

In case you didn’t get to see it, here is the full video of Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs singing “Fast Car” at the Grammys

Must read analysis from Clark Valberg, founder Freehand by InVision on what happened.

Buried in the bullets is the best compliment Dylan Field @Figma team could ever hear:

'Figma's take-over of the market was too rapid, and their unique technical approach too 'cutting edge' -- far afield

Back to work on what feels like the end of Lehman weekend ~15 years ago. This time around though, starring Ilya as Dick Fuld, Satya as Ben Bernanke, Sam as Jamie Dimon, Greg as Tim Geithner, and the OpenAI board as the cast of Barney & Friends.

Wanted to take a moment to say to all of the unbelievably talented folks at Open AI I've had the privilege of working with for years: we're going to continue supporting you and the important work that you're doing, no matter what.  Sam Altman, Satya Nadella, and I have got your backs.

One of the most powerful combinations has got to be Midwest earnestness and Bay Area ambition.

PM's are going to start building software with ChatGPT. And when they do, it's going to end like 1999 when teams would create Access or Lotus Notes 'apps' that would fall over at the first sign of demand and need rescuing by 'real' engineers. At least for a while...

What is happening in Israel is disgusting and senseless. Slaughtering and kidnapping civilians, children, elderly, women. With the goal of total destruction of the Jewish people and nation. There is no justification.

The 🇮🇱 spirit will shines brightness in the dark. עם ישראל חי

Hot take: Salesforce codified the language for selling. Leads, Accounts, Opportunities - it's been how we talk for a generation. But this model of selling is dying, especially for technical products. Who's building the CRM for community-led products with non-linear sales cycles?

If you are GP and raising a fund now - your first slide should have two points on it -

1) How long have you been in business

2) what’s your dpi

All other points can come later.

Big thanks to Indianapolis International Airport (IND) team for partnering with our Indy tech community. Two new flights...

SFO to IND non-stop leaving at 1:40pm replacing the current red-eye flight. Starting up October 29th. Thank you United Airlines!

IND to SLC non-stops back in action starting on March 10th.

Seems like we may have just hit peak GenAI in the very short term. Sad to see the layoffs at Jasper, but also a sign reality is setting in on time to value.

This is my fourth annual repost of this article that (I think) helped a lot of kids, and a lot of parents.

And today I am pleased to report that my main man Max and his wife are having my first grandchild in less than two months.
