huge bummer but not really surprising, people give their money to what they value, start up people value start ups. nyc has old money that values art and culture
It’s incredible how much wealth SF entrepreneurs have created and how little of it has gone toward building culture. Where are the great museums, new architecture, music venues, public spaces? Silicon Valley should aspire to leave behind more than ephemeral software.

I have a friend in NYC who’s a great front-end web engineer and she’s looking for either full time or contract work! DMs open!

aesthetically I hate “-pilled” but it is unfortunately the concept of the times

people like to talk about falling in love with a problem but I think it’s much more interesting and rewarding to fall in love with an audience
many don't realize that design is hospitality

under discussed imo is how deeply annoying the nft/crypto hype cycle was to the avg person, so what’s happening now with AI (understandably!) feels like boy cried wolf

everybody talks about how life is short and not enough about how life is actually (beautifully) very long

so cool how instead of “I’ve been stressed lately” everyone has to say “my cortisol is high”
