So sad to read this 😢. Whenever I read about a software service I like hopping on the venture capital train to unicorn-ville, I fully expect them to go to shit. 1PW now need to beome a many billion dollar company OR DIE TRYING. That usually lead to desperate/shitty decisions.

There are many days where I think I’m wasting my time on Twitter. Maybe even most days! But then I think of ceding this place to the narrative of hustle porn and odes to overwork, and I think fuck no. It’s my obligation to play the countermelody and share our story.

Watching @dhh fighting with this silly US-style, VC driven, American-dream-bullshit workaholism is the greatest thing on Twitter

Certain portion of the VC set despises wealth built the old fashioned way so much they turn into Marxists to dunk a point. We offer a great deal to employees, both in terms of salary, profit share, low risk, remote, and work-life balance. So I enjoy my life with zero qualms 😄

Google's CEO tells his employees to stop bringing their politics to work and respect coworkers right to just do their job. Let's see if this causes the same media and Twitter meltdown it did when we asked the same. I doubt it!

Web 4.0 will be everyone discovering that actually Web 1.0 was amazing and bringing the bulk of it back. Less surveillance, less centralization, less complexity.

Hey @Jack , can I help make the setting that switches between “top tweets” and “latest tweets” persistent? I’ll do the commit myself. I’ll brush up on iOS programming. I’ll go halfsies on a few days of fasting. Anything. Please! 😄✌️

Crazy to think that we were spending $150,000/month on cloud rentals just eight months ago. The savings booked since we started our exit has already paid for all the new hardware we bought. Now it's just savings gravy going forward 🤑

Using the delusion that you’re going to “change the world” to justify your workaholism is the void of meaning in your life desperately crying for help.

Most people that changed the world were workaholics. MLK, Gandhi, Hamilton, Thatcher, etc all worked nights and weekends. But if you are not interested in changing the world, then working more than 40 hours a week is optional. I choose to try to change the world.

It’s heart-warming how many people are noting @tim_cook ’s celebration of working nights’n’weekends and refusing to applaud extractive sacrifices. Overwork isn’t cool, especially not on a regular, expected, and self-imposed schedule. Deal with a crisis, sure. A release ain’t that.

Got the first report that yesterday’s public shaming of tech companies withholding WFH is working. Company execs saw that they were called out, now has mandated WFH ❤️🙏. Pressure works.

There's nothing wrong with you if you can't stand pair programming as a day-in-day-out approach to software development. I love the occasional pairing, but I'd rather quit programming than do it all day, every day.

To create an alternative App Store you have to: "Provide Apple a stand-by letter of credit from an A-rated financial Institution of €1,000,000 to establish adequate financial means in order to guarantee support for your developers and users." 🤣
