Hot on the heels of @supabase's series d, @zzaochen shares his learnings from spending 6 months working alongside their team. The TL;DR to Supabase’s success: put community first & be product obsessed. Values @kiwicopple & @AntWilson instilled from day 1.

Thanks for speaking the truth, Greg. You know the history well, and I agree it’s important to set the record straight. The TLDR is that StubHub’s recent IPO filing tells an inaccurate story that there was a sole founder of StubHub when in fact there were two. In an attempt to…

The DCA midair disaster was preventable. As details emerge, it appears to be tragic pilot error. More shocking: this was a scenario we don’t train pilots for. Why? Sadly, politics. Deeper dive here: medium.com/@skydayton/the… 1/7
Thrilled to see the @DavidSacks appointment. He catalyzed my career in crypto. Here's how he played a part in my crypto origin story 👇
