Ever since patio11 pushed that dubious Stripe Atlas program that resulted in far more headache than worth (turns out Delaware is the crappiest state to incorporate) my trust in Stripe going downhill. I think what really did it was that it t

If something is risky, you should treat it as such. What I see people caught up in the startup/hustle/entrepreneur porn is the belief that they are different. No, statistics still show 95% of startups fail. You shouldn't be t

I just finished watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo Young Woo and while there are exaggerations, it has been a delightful show in highlighting the struggles of those on the spectrum. In particular these quotes stand out: "People on the
