Hi 👋 I wish someone had told me about the benefits of early exercise when I joined my first startup. So, I distilled what I wish I knew into this post that some readers might find helpful:

would love to pay for a simple agent that i can forward scheduling emails to and it’ll (1) generate a calendar invite (2) with zoom link and (3) respond to the email
even better if it can add calendar holds for times that i offer to meet

if this worked, it wouldn't need to stop there! it can also simulate your whole relationship arc including kids, possible divorce, retirement, etc.
a dating app where ChatGPT runs simulations between you and other people, prompted by your dating profiles. then, it matches you if your conversations work out. okay that was a black mirror episode, but it could ~actually~ happen now, who's doing it

i’ve switched from uber to waymo bc
1) waymos don’t cancel so eta is more reliable
2) i don’t feel bad for making a robot wait
3) similar price
on the downside it circles my block without dropping me off so i have to hit the pull over button, which works fine
