It's been a helluva a quarter at 𝕏 During the month of August, we set a record for the most total downloads in the app's history—beating our prior record by over 30%. Then in September, we beat that record again—and also set a record for first-time downloads.
See any good @bangers lately?

We’re in the home stretch. This is your last opportunity to create shareholder value.
Update: I am sleeping on the couch.
If you get upgraded on a flight but your girlfriend/wife doesn’t, do you downgrade and both suffer or do you take the upgrade? I need an answer in 5 minutes.

pro tip if you’re trying to post better on x. think of every post is a micro story. each story needs: - protagonist: you or someone else (the builder, the underdog, the thinker) - antagonist: an idea, a system, a corporation, a cultural force (ai hype, vc groupthink, corporate mediocrity) - climax: the aha, the reveal, the betrayal - resolution: the lesson, the irony, or the twist the fewer characters you need to deliver all four, the sharper the post. most great posts will have nearly all of these. think of your account as a series. every post should make readers wonder: “so what happened this time?”

It is just the beginning.

I’m seeing it. There’s something about @nikitabier’s new webview that makes webapps feel native to the platform. True “everything app” material.

You're only as good as your last feature
If the Halo Remake and GTA drop the same month, I cannot guarantee the uptime of this website.

I don’t think there is a better focus group on Earth than X. Just suggest an idea for a feature and get every perspective and edge-case in 60 minutes. It takes half the risk off the table before it goes to engineering.
