You said this much more constructively that I might - I really dislike when people post long form stuff on X/Twitter. For those who may not know you can reply to a tweet with “@threadreaderapp unroll” to have a reconstructed doc sent

“VC Money Hose” has been redirected to anything with AI in the name. “Vercel, powered by AI” would receive plenty of funding. ;)
