Looking for a Researcher + Writer at Native. We’re “shaping the ideas that shape us,” helping companies find and tell the stories of how technology *should* work. Ideal part-time role for a student or new grad looking to establish a holistic view of the tech industry.

this is a hot take but I think we should get rid of having Saturday and Sunday as the weekend and make Friday and Saturday the weekend

why does everyone keep trying to convince me to download an AI browser? WHY DO I NEED AN AI BROWSER???

to all my fellow Muslim co-founders: idk if anyone else can relate to this but ever since I quit my job and started my own company I’ve felt such an intense need for God, and literally *feel* every sujood (prayer) with sooooo much more intensity. when I was working, every two weeks the paycheck came in. Even though it never is, my rizq (provision) felt “guaranteed”. Now, literally everyday I am like, “dear God we are really going through it rn, please help us”. And the truth is, it’s not that I was in any less of a position of need when I was an employee. It was just delusion that I thought I was “self-sufficient”. as a reminder to myself verbalized: stay humble, chase substance not flash, and keep working hard. May God grant a deep peace to you all in this life and the next. Salaam ✌️

don't be mad at the players, be mad at the game
This idea is actually VERY much BIG BRAINED People used to complete free-surveys on platforms online in exchange for gift-cards Imagine if complete some brain-rotted task in your IDE and get tokens for platforms like Cursor, Lovable, etc. If thats where this is going @zzzbuggg and @xkevin_le are playing 5D chess while people are wondering "how did they get into @ycombinator"

the best billing solution for a SaaS by far is clerk billing. Yes it is a stripe wrapper

i love my life
the problem with 99% of all tech events in Chicago is that I’m trying to meet devs and founders but instead I get like 10,000 data analysts, PMs, scrum masters, or everything besides technical people

i’ve done a lot of traveling this year and have more coming up, but my biggest struggle with working while traveling is that every coworking space i go to absolutely sucks for some reason, all these places are built more like lounges than actual workspaces the chairs suck, the tables suck, and they’re ridiculously overpriced for what you get coworking spaces should focus on being actual offices with comfy office chairs, solid desks, maybe a few shared monitors - not glorified coffee shops with fancy cups and bad ergonomics and yeah, some offer “dedicated desks,” but i’m not paying $400 a month + a lease for 12 months just to work 10 days out of the month.

ngl I have been playing with Tanstack Start and this tweet is the most factual tweet i've seen this week
Replying to @thevinodpatidar
Tanstack Start is amazing. i don't know why anyone should still use Next.js. if you need a website, choose Astro. if you need a web app, then Start.
