Couldn’t stop thinking about how obnoxious this essay is. A self-righteous University of Chicago professor, who probably never interacts with anyone else on trips (which is not surprising), openly declares that exposing oneself to foreign systems and ideas is useless.

Setting aside the addiction to conspiracy theories driven by a lack of information, why do they all dress as though they’re channeling a Temu version of a 1940s opium tycoon who’s just arrived in Shanghai?

Incredible summary of key principles shaping tech financial investment over the past 200 years, as detailed by Alasdair Nairn in the final chapter of ‘Engineers That Move Markets’:

I really hope Gopuff investors continue to support this business by lighting cash on camp fire. The business model is dumb as hell, but I really hate going to the West Side Market to buy toilet paper,paper towels, & seltzer. They are heavy and bulky. Absolutely kill my vibe.
Scoop: Gopuff is the last speedy-delivery startup left standing after Getir just pulled out of the US.
But while Gopuff has cut costs, it still burned about $400 million in 2023 and will likely need to cut even more to hit a goal of generating cash next year.

One of my favorite elements of the rivalry is nicknames. "SnowMelt" is a initiative within Databricks to take business from its winter-themed rival. At Snowflake, "SparkAttack" is a codename to snatch machine learning workflows from Databricks.
really think this can replace 75% of ds/analytics job, sure you still need to identify enterprise data source and provide access etc but the 'analysis' part can be certainly automated via agentic

Interesting slides from ICONIQ analysis of 120 public / private SaaS companies.
The punchline is the private SaaS landscape seems pretty bleak. Ironically, could be another bull point for the platform SaaS rationalization story as we have moved from supply shortages in
