The problem with having an idea is that you’re no longer a pure play

Wrapping up a seed round raise at a respectable, but not insane amount - just as much as we need for operational purposes

See someone raised 5 at 30 for an AI startup without a deck, a name, even *an idea*, none of it

I honestly need to learn how to grift

Left my baby on the changing table while I went downstairs to clean a bottle, with my 'Songs from Musicals' playlist on shuffle

Came back upstairs to her bobbing along to Everyone's A Little Bit Racist from Avenue Q

It's too early to introduce her to this stuff

There's a guy who lives down the road from me who screams at me every time he sees me (same dude who hit me with a car a few months ago)

Every time I see *him*, I smile and wave like he's a long-lost friend

My neighbours have no idea what's going on and think we're both mentally ill (we are)

Leaking Pentagon documents for clout with 20-30 of your Discord mates is so FUCKING funny, I’m sorry

Not gonna lie, the current staging web app inability to post images directly from the clipboard is stopping me from posting here a lot more than I otherwise would

I rarely have pure-text things to say, don't like digging through file directories for 'joke_for_post_18.png'

Elon Musk getting absolutely rekt by a platform started by the same guy who created the one he bought for 44 billion dollars would be so *fucking* funny I think I'd have an aneurysm

Is this what Adam Cochran was on about when he said that he wanted UIs to look like they're stripped down and minimal

Given that I primarily use the Other Place for the group chat functionality, it feels very much like I'm posting in the nude here

Got a protocol deployed on testnet before losing access to verifying it for a week

Can't find where we put the reference implementation we deployed against so I'm guessing at the function hashes

I am a real and serious engineer
