The way you show up for people matters. I have always been a believer in showing up, doing good work, being humble.
Along the same lines is doing what you say. There is nothing less respected in the world than a man who says one thing and does another. Think about it.
I know everyone is doomer right now,
but have you tried roast beef london broil on sourdough lately?
It hard to understate how incredibly fast things are moving and evolving.
I was a guest on a tech podcast earlier this year and predicted this was about 6mo away or less.
Hosts, both saas founders, were incredulous at the time. But it was clear that front end was completely solved and low risk.
Perfect for agents in raw html, css, and js.
update: it’s live.
that startup site from last time is officially off Webflow. same design, same copy, now on Astro + Vercel.
production numbers, throttled mobile, tested with DebugBear:
→ 4.88s → 1.24s to load (3.9x faster)
→ 4.0 MB → 313 KB per page (13x lighter)
→ 45 → 18 requests
→ performance score 76 → 96
0 broken links across 600+ QA checks. Google reindexed it the same day. and the Webflow bill is about to be canceled entirely.
the offer still stands. a few more spots:
$1,000 flat. done in 48 hours. you own the code + hosting. if you don’t like it, you don’t pay. Webflow stays live until you flip DNS.
comment “migrate” then DM me your URL and I can do a quick audit on likely improvement based on your current setup👇
amazing
I normally listen to electronic music with few or repeating lyrics when needing to focus, but I've found that a looping Gregorian chant also does the trick! open.spotify.com/track/0xUL1…
really nailing the icp mindset

software maximalist.
one who believes that software is proliferating faster than ever and the demand for it will be higher than ever
enterprise saas products are still operating like its 2020 are in for a rude awakening if they don't shift their modus operandi.
treating customers as hostile witnesses for basic functionality
those days are gone
moving incredibly slowly through account reps and sales just to get a trial
those days are gone
your software is going to be cloned 1000x over and sold for 1/3 the cost.
just evaluated support tools,
bake off between intercom.com, pylon.com, plain.com and unthread.io
crazy amount of friction and difficulty to get paying and onboarding,
every tool felt clunky and aging. the one that didn't was super buggy and support was hostile.
these tools are all cooked.
basic chat widget and slack channels management and ai responses.
every saas guy out there right now is looking at your products
then calculating the token cost to roll your own from scratch.
even normies are rolling their own.
the solution is unclear.
but make no mistake, you MUST change, fast.
thankfully you don't have a say in the matter!
My H-1B experience:
- Worked at a startup, (willingly) earned less than I could have at bigger Silicon Valley companies…
- …but got paid the same as my American coworkers.
Later started a company creating jobs in the US and globally.
Paid millions in taxes over these 14 years. I’d call that a net positive for the US.
A startup paying qualified foreigners (and Americans) a little less because it’s running on fumes isn’t the problem. Outsourcing firms exploiting the H-1B visas are.
secure the bag!
I’ve officially figured out the difference between @klaviyo, @omnisend, & @Mailchimp
Klaviyo is the rich kid whose parents bought them a BMW at 16.
Mailchimp is the kid who reminds the teacher there was homework due.
Omnisend is the kid who worked two jobs in high school, helped their parents pay the mortgage, and still showed up to your party with a 30 pack and two bags of ice.
Klaviyo doesn’t return shopping carts.
Mailchimp calls the cops on your lemonade stand.
Omnisend helps an elderly woman load groceries into her trunk.
I spent an unreasonable amount of time on this whiteboard as you can tell.
Anyways, this is not a sponsored post, it’s just investigative journalism.

I stopped sorting awhile back. what a feeling
Most domestic recycling efforts are empirically retarded, counterproductive, and require you don't value your time. Their real function is to fill the God-shaped hole, sized for penance, prayer, and sacrifice, in people's souls. wsj.com/opinion/most-recycli…
