i always hated this argument, it’s ignorant to what’s really happening.
chromium is open source, free, and has NOTHING to do with the chrome browser itself.
it’s like saying a restaurant can’t compete because they buy ingredients from the same farm.
12 hours a day 7 days a week????
Alright, time to spill the beans on giga.
Got hired back in April to lead demand gen for them.
Quit after the first day.
Red flags everywhere.
>”when we hit $10m arr, we’re going to spend $100k on ____”(illegal stuff)
>”we’re doing $____ in mrr”
(Dashboards in the hq show 6x less)
>bait n switch on title, start date, comp, etc.
>had 2 international weddings I need them to pre-approve to take time off. They said yes.
After I signed contract, they said “well you need to pick who you’re better friends with bc you can’t do both weddings now”
>”I chopped off a goats head in India bc it brings good luck”
>in office, 7 days/week, 12 hr days. “Pto policy is subject to change at our discretion… you are expected to always be working”
>gave offer letter on Wednesday, said I need to sign by Thursday, and start job Monday morning.
I had 3 days to move from atx -> sf.
>first day of work, I got in early. Founder walks in my direction, I stand up, extend my hand for a handshake. He snubs me - not even an acknowledgement.
I just moved my entire life & drove 26 hours across the country & not even a “welcome to the team” or a hello.
Easiest decision of my life to quit after first day.
I rarely root against founders, but this is the epitome of what’s wrong with tech/ai now.
Offer letter for proof.
just watched the pilot episode and it was one of the best pilots i’ve ever watched.
they’re cooking with the show
I finally got to watch the first episode of Vince Gilligan’s long-awaited new series “Pluribus!”
Oh my god—this is incredible. Absolutely incredible. It pulls you in right from the opening scene. Vince really is a genius!
It’s still too early to tell, but… could this be Vince Gilligan’s take on Invasion of the Body Snatchers?
Jack Finney’s Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1955) was a meta reflection of Cold War–era fears—of invasion and totalitarianism.
Could Pluribus be a satire of America today—of social media and division?
Can’t wait to see more.

“why do you like working at a startup?”
because where tf else could i do this without getting a scathing email from HR
(adam is my CTO)
i still don’t understand the logistics of this
tesla is worth $1.34 trillion
how is he getting $1 trillion?
great read, one of the best blog posts you’ll read!
I spent the last 60 days working at Cursor. It's been one of the most thrilling phases of my professional life.
There's a lot of mystique around the company. Over the last two months, some things matched my expectations; many did not.
I wrote an essay for @joincolossus about things that have surprised me about the company and its culture so far.
