I like to see how long I can hold my breath in swimming pools
Struggled to break 1 minute til I discovered the trick — singing a song in my head while underwater
Immediately broke 2 mins, then 2.5, now 3+ mins
It’s wild that boredom was the first hurdle, not lack of oxygen

I know I'm always joking around on here but Twitter is actually exhausting and a huge time sink. I've decided to take a break to focus on other parts of my life — I won't be checking Twitter this afternoon. See you all in the evening.

1. spend too much time on twitter
2. delete the app to increase friction by having to use the mobile website
3. get really quick at opening up the website. "might as well get the app again"
5. spend too much time on twitter

if you do any number crunching in Excel/Sheets, this may be of interest
it figures out which variables in your model are the most important, and shows you what happens if you vary each variable one by one

Spotify should introduce DMs:
I often think about sharing songs with friends, but there's just so much friction for both parties that I never end up doing it
Instagram DMs grew the market for meme sharing, and the world is better for it. Spotify needs to do the same for music

Observations on how Bay Area people (tech/EA/etc) socialise:
1. Not much emphasis on lighthearted joking around/being funny
2. Everything is expressed in the metaphor of economics/markets
3. Less inhibition around personal/private topics (e.g. sex) with new people

I saw a guy on the plane today.
No laptop.
No ipad.
No bluetooth noise-cancelling headphones.
He just sat there, with the complimentary headphones.
Watching the in-flight entertainment.
Like a psychopath.

Of course that's your contention, you're a new grad SWE
You just read some propaganda about how Stripe is way undervalued, so naturally that's what you believe until next month when you find out that Adyen does the same payment volume at ¼ the headcount and 2x the EBITDA margin

When you're a kid, hanging out with friends is 80% playing and 20% talking. When you're an adult it's more like 5% playing and 95% talking
not trying to suggest that the natural adult balance would be the same as the kids', but feels like something's gone wrong here...

When people say they can feel the effects of coffee, what does that mean?
I drink 2-3 teas/coffees per day and don't feel any effects of caffeine, but maybe I'm just bad at noticing it. What is it meant to feel like?

Before the holidays, my afternoon walk would often coincide with the end of the school day
Such a pleasure to see kids walking home, in scattered pairs and small groups
The “walking home from school” vibe is so special and unparalleled

When my brother and I were 12/13 we made a “no grassing” pact. Before this we’d always look for opportunities to rat each other out to our mum
We were stuck in this pointless snitching cycle that made both of our lives worse, and I’m wondering how we could have broken it sooner

I first met Brian Armstrong on 5th May 2014 when he sent me 0.00233 BTC. He asked me to sign into Coinbase to claim that amount.
I didn't.
Today, Coinbase is doing an IPO and my stake would have been worth $150.
I’ll never forget that day.

Causal is my 1st company. Here's what I'd do differently as a 2nd-time founder:
1. Hire an EA on day 1 — founders shouldn't waste time doing scheduling
2. Spend 25% of my time at conferences — this is where commerce happens
3. Fly business class — self explanatory
What else?
