- I love how ppl are like "I've been using this mental model a lot lately" and it's just them thinking
- 7 years ago, I was certain my startup would fail, was fighting with my co-founders, and didn’t know how to identify if I weren’t a “founder.” I wasn’t depressed but I was exhibiting some self-destructive behavior and my health was suffering. Then I met my future wife…
- Fantasy story pitch: Imagine there's a magical herb that everything in the world relies on but it only grows on a single island and there are like 200 ppl who can harvest it and that island is precariously placed between two kingdoms...that's basically the semiconductor industry
- It's fucked up that the only thing that makes running easier is more running.
- My wife and I got married 3 years ago but never really got a chance to go through our wedding pictures. Here are a few of my favorites.
- 2.5 years ago, my wife and I bought an acre of land in South Atlanta with her parents and younger sisters. We’re planning to develop it into a multi-generational compound. Last week, we took my daughter to there for the first time. There’s a beautiful peach tree on the land.
- Permanent WFH represents a great Diversity & Inclusion opportunity for tech companies. Many (black) people don't want to live in the Bay or Seattle, etc. They'd prefer to live in cities like Atlanta, DC, Houston.
- Replying to @jkwadeBased on replies to this tweet, it seem like I need to clarify that I actually do know why Sacks’ appointment wasn’t as contested. It’s driving me crazy that more people aren’t bringing up Sack’s path to citizenship to rebut arguments against Sriram
- I honestly never thought I’d be here, but my transformation into a suburban dad is nearly complete. On Tuesday, my wife and I are set to close on a new house 22 miles from Atlanta, but 4 min away from my in-laws, who watch our daughter every day.
- My wife loves that I have a compulsion to ask every single restaurant and store what software/payments processor they are using while on vacation.
- Stripe 2022 numbers per @theinformation: - Gross revenue: $14.3B, 27% YoY - Net revenue: $3.2B, 25% YoY - Net revenue minus fraud losses: $2.8B, 18% YoY - Net revenue from non-payments products: $280M
- Just saw Cash App's new (?) "Deposit Paper Money" feature. Users can deposit cash at Family Dollar, Walmart, Walgreens, etc, and have it instantly available in their Cash App account. Very smart move imo.
