Yeah I agree, try ideas on the side without quitting your high-paying job. If something starts getting traction, then you have a decision to make. If you don't have the motivation to work an extra hour or two after your day job, you wo

1. Those numbers on Latka, ZoomInfo, etc. are often educated guesses. 2. The graph on Latka shows that $35M figure as being from 2021. 3. The 2021 fundraising announcement[0] said they grew revenue 1100% YoY that year, so the 30x multiple m

My side project, Teaminal, lets you do agile meetings like standup, sprint planning, and retro asynchronously. Stuff like status updates or planning poker aboslutely doesn't need to be done on a call. Link: https://www.teami

Just off the top of my head: Cloudflare, Twilio, Segment, SendGrid, dbt, Mongo, Vercel, Mapbox. All of these have some UI, but the core product is an API or infrastructure as a service.

As a native Oregonian and Portlander, I love all of Peter Dibble's videos, but this one was especially interesting since I grew up hearing about the Willamette Greenway and how one day you'd be able to bike from Portland to Eugene

So I was re-triggering the request if multiple mouseover events fired before a result came back. I just deployed a fix!

Glad you like it!

Interesting. The check should only be done once on hover (even if you mouseover multiple times) and then again on click, so I'll have to investigate.

Yeah, the false positives are annoying, but this is the best balance of speed and accuracy I could think of. The only way to guarantee availability is a WHOIS lookup, which takes 50ms+ per domain, so to check thousands of options would take

The ending can be a little tricky - you have to add skill points to exploration and speed to explore more of the universe, while also having bots and factories processing all that newly available matter.

Joining a company at that stage as a non-founder is never going to make financial sense. They won't give you meaningful equity, but also can't afford to pay market rate salaries. The only reasons to do it are to learn from the fou

If you could build and grow a B2B SaaS to $10k MRR, it's plausible you could sell it for $500k (a 4.16x revenue multiple). Much easier said than done, though.

Yeah, I got Croatia in the Geoguessr section, which means I can't possibly multiply roman numerals to 35, since C is 100.

Yeah, employment in the US is at-will, meaning employees can be dismissed at any time without cause, and no advanced notice is required.

The lawsuit does allege that he spent $11k out of pocket, but was then reimbursed by the company. They're alleging that as evidence that Dr. Waseem was in fact a full employee of the company, and not an intern as Stability is claiming.

by simantel 3y ago
That's kind of the core of the lawsuit. Dr. Waseem was Chief Scientific Officer in 2020, and allegedly was represented to investors as a co-founder.

I'm surprised I haven't seen any reporting about this, but Dr. Tayab Waseem, who was Chief Scientific Officer at Stability in 2020, is suing Emad Mostaque, the CEO, over a 10% equity stake that was allegedly agreed upon but never
