- You know what is an even stronger flex? Doing this and not feeling the need to tell anyone
- Replying to @NoContextHumansBest or worst pickup line in history? "This card is a ticket to a $1.50 hot dog and soda combo meal!"
GIF - Replying to @jimmiller17 and @RexChapmanWhy are “wearing a mask” and “resume your life” mutually exclusive? Do you not wear a coat in winter? Sunscreen in summer? Why is wearing a mask political? I desperately want things to open back up (most people do). If wearing a mask helps that happen faster WHY NOT WEAR ONE!?
- Replying to @ericstrombergTruly new ideas are very, very rare. There were social networking sites before Facebook, electric cars long before Tesla, etc. Execution, execution, execution...a little luck and good timing (not always required, but certainly helps)...and execution!!!
- Replying to @HarryStebbingsNo question, our rescue pup, who hasn’t left my side throughout pandemic WFH
- Replying to @Kanew and @AOCA sitting member of Congress saying businesses “take” vs “make” money. A person whose salary is literally funded by taxes, i.e. the government actually “taking” from hard working citizens to pay hefty salaries of politicians, who for the most part contribute nothing to society.
- Replying to @Trace_CohenI mean, hey…it does include a step stool!
GIF - Replying to @ChrisJBakkeMy first startup in 1999 we had Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, CVS and Netbeans IDE. Felt like a golden age of tools for building a tech startup. In many ways it was...all that was basically free (only $ for HW + hosting)...didn’t worry about (or need) all the stuff on your list. 🤷‍♂️
- Replying to @OfficialBBrooks and @paul_griffithsIt’s almost like maybe we should stop using amount of capital raised and paper valuations as the metrics for success
GIF - Replying to @guyfosel and @soundslikecanoeWhen I was with a big consulting firm we used to end interview day by have very recent hires take the candidate to lunch and would watch how they treated the wait staff very carefully...it literally cost some people getting a job offer if they were jerks to the waiter
- Replying to @GaryWinslettTBF there's no way you are fitting 30 housing units, commercial space, and bank into that building...
