@moseskagan Eeeek. Everyone should build towards the free market outcome. Regulation eventually bites the hand and we all lose. Same sentiment on PMCs advocating for more regulation to perform regulatory capture - just need to deliver better returns.

@landlordlyfe Negative ghost rider. What would that have said about me and my decision making?

@moseskagan If you can lock one down in Aspen/Vale area, I'll make it my personal mission to come do an in-depth study on how this is done. It might be a 6 month sacrifice... but for the good of the country. 🇺🇸

@Jac5Connor Big day. You walk out of the gym with the shoulders pulled back a little bit. This, and all days forward.

@jasonlk @kylecnorton Always agreed, saw this with an early VP (as you can guess, didn't work out). So I'm hyper defensive. It did though create another blindspot of taking eyes off of R&D to being a large contributor to Growth & Retention.

@girdley Powerful stuff. The downturn after 2022 made for a lot of people to experience the CAT 5... not enough people could help us all navigate it. Thank you for sharing.

@NewsLambert @divvyhomes Proptech is one thing, tech-enabled-services within Proptech is another. Lot of operators commanding software multiples with a tough business line that is proving itself to not be software (and thus liquidity). More corpses coming...

I'll be doing a podcast at the end of the month with @ThePrimeagen all about programming. He is a great programmer and hilarious human being 🔥 In general, I have a bunch of super-technical podcasts coming up on programming… probably with @dhh (creator of rails), @taylorotwell (creator of laravel), @rough__sea (creator of node & deno), @rauchg (creator of next.js), @ashtom (ceo of github) and many more (sorry if I forgot people, going off the top of my head). This post is primarily about software, but in general, my goal is to celebrate great engineering and great engineers from all walks of life 🚀🔥 Oh and if anyone knows how to get in touch with Linus Torvalds, let me know. Obviously, I would love to talk to him. See my profile for the link to contact me. As part of all this, here are the languages & frameworks I'm trying (for each, building something simple but sufficiently complicated to test its cool features): - rust - go - zig - elixir - next.js & vercel - laravel - rails - mojo - deno - jai - odin Also, I have to force myself to try neovim at some point 😭🤣 For context, I'm a python & c/c++ guy, plus php, js, sql (of all flavors) for webdev. I tend to favor focusing on building fast (and fun) vs the language/tool choice, but there is still a lot to learn from each of these technologies. Outside of the podcast, one of my goals for 2025 is to ship some code (system, service, app) that will bring value to some number of people's lives (whether I do this solo or as part of a team). This makes me happy. I love talking to people and I love programming. I've been doing a lot of the former, and this year I hope to add to that a bit of the latter too ;-) If you have questions or suggestions, for languages or for technical guests, please let me know.

The amount of money I would pay for this experience would rival a Michelin Star bill.
