This is the Fitbit / Whoop / Oura phenomenon. You can monetize data, and pseudo science advice, and eyeballs. What’s harder to monetize is human connection, so there will never be vast amounts of investment in facilitating it. Unf

I got access to Pave through one of my investors. Seeing the data made us set salaries and contractor rates higher, not lower. It’s like salary banding at big companies. It’s a framework for how much other people are paid at the same level,

The American dream is all about owning property. What if you could put 3% down on a $1m purchase of a diversified index fund, and live wherever you want? A first time home buyer’s mortgage is essentially this, without the diversification. I

I wonder what will happen with the open core movement, where startups (many YC companies) use OS to acquire early adopters. The expectation from investors is that they will become a billion dollar company. Eventually, they have to monetize

At larger orgs who already have a functional business, yes. Running a 0-1 startup is different. There's barely enough time for senior engineers (usually founders) to build core infrastructure and product - let alone document, onboard,

My dog is far more motivated by human attention than food. There’s only one food that he’ll do anything for - freeze dried chicken hearts.

This is key. The founder that creates the next Airbnb or Stripe has some unique mix of ability, connections, and character that makes them uniquely suited to drive value for that specific business. The original article didn't read as c

Argentina was on pace with the US at the beginning of the 20th century [1]. Read to the bottom of that article where it mentions populism and inflation, which tend to go hand-in-hand. When governments don’t control inflation (which are unpo

Successful startups were scaled and built between 2008-2012; Airbnb, Stripe, Uber, Coinbase. When cash is harder to come by, the bar is higher (to raise more money, to convince consumers to buy). We’re in a parallel economy now, which means

I hope to see more evidence-based studies on yogic breathing and meditation that doctors can use in place of drug interventions. Studies on Ketamine [1] have coincided with a mix of commercial and medical distribution of the drug [2]. Its e

This is especially when there’s less VC money available to support mediocre outcomes. It’s also on the founder to disclose the realities of the startup to employees. If we don’t raise money, we can’t pay salaries. If we don’t make a product

Staying in the details is different from micromanagement. It’s the difference between understanding (and deeply caring) about what’s happening vs. telling ICs how to solve a problem. You can’t be a good leader, mentor, or decision maker if

It’s a balance. If you have people who only care about their career and not the company, you end up with misalignment. That’s why hiring people who are intrinsically motivated matters so much. People who demand personal growth without havin

Even as an early-stage founder, I get advised by smart people including investors, other founders, and past coworkers to hire other people to “help” me with hard problems. There has been some fantasy in the past decade that you become good

VC Mike Maples of Floodgate recently wrote a new book on a tangential topic. The founders of the best companies he's invested in (Twitch, Lyft, Twitter) don't mind being perceived as outsiders. They're confidently living in

The definition of art seems to be the polarizing issue here. "But is the world better off with more documents that have had minimal effort expended on them?" Value is attributed to high-effort tasks that are a scarce resource [1].

Capitalism is a system that tries to enforce collaboration between anonymous people and entities, without central planning. But what happens when that doesn’t work? Is it the government or private industry that fills the gaps? Friedrich Hay

If I’m understanding, you’d want to choose which logs to warehouse. That’s a feature we’ll add soon, in case you don’t want to store everything. Like for cost analysis, it’s useful to have every request - but maybe you don’t need to keep th

A VS code / cursor extension is on our roadmap. Ideally this data is embedded in your workflow so developing with LLMs is seamless. With the current product, we can also warehouse requests directly to your PostgreSQL DB so you can quer

Yep, we can warehouse directly to your database which makes it secure by default. It's your data and we're never going to train on top of your logs. Plus there's no data abstraction when you want to switch between models or f
