   I thought this was informative and very well-rounded. I missed the whole Snapchat train, and only have firsthand experience with Instagram Stories. This provides great insight into the product.

   Your set up reminds me of Plato (W16?). I would give Parade a try. PM/founder here.

   Your question is great and barring other incentives (comments in response to this), I’m also interested in how commercial viability impedes adoption. In your opinion, what could be done to make the energy generated by fusion competitive? Ca

   One of the best reads from Christensen, too. I refer to it often

   patio11's story on his idempotency issue which led to repeatedly calling customers' customers comes to mind [0]. He personally called all affected customers! [0] https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1405704

   This is amazing. Thank you for sharing this story. As someone who failed a lot with B2B, I appreciate this. Also your bottom-up comment (startups rolls up into bigger customers over time through growth or acquisition).

    Good write up and thanks for sharing OP. I can’t believe it was just 2014/2015 that Stripe was an 100 persons company.

    From all the comments, I wished we had a chance to speak with you during our time. One of the regrets is not have met you. I came across a lot of your content the last couple of years. "On Shutting Down" really spoke to me

    I searched "bing" and was expecting an easter egg; this needs to be a suggestion to Bing (Michael) http://michaelyingling.com/random/calvin_and_hobbes/search.p...

    That's interesting. What's common from what you observe? Notification per user per month wise?

    Building notifications multiple times made me appreciate this, so, so much. Even larger companies have trouble with notification. One of my worst nightmares is notifications from Reddit and Airbnb (sorry TommyDANGerous). I hate it when emai

    IIRC it's a big deal because this is the first crack at cephalopod DNA - I don't recall where I read this. Anyone has a source?

    I am interested to hear more about Ruined by Design. I read the sample chapter on Uber on the website [0] after reading your comment. The author seems very biased against any sort of good that might come out of Uber. Is the entire narrative

    Is Yummy open atm? I used to live down Irving, but have only tasted their dumplings at King of Noodles across the street.

    Kingdom of Dumplings (retail shop a few blocks from its restaurant - call restaurant and ask them) is great. It’s like ~$7-10 for a bag (I believe). They also have scallion pancakes frozen. I last went at the beginning of shelter-in-place *

    That’s an amazing concept. If samosa is a dumpling we can make fried chicken dumplings work

    Oh for sure. Lasagnas are deconstructed dumplings in disguise.
