Agree. Not for the education primarily but for the societal blender. It is useful to live and party with friends who span the gamut of American life on almost all dimensions. I plan to encourage my kids to seek that out.
Don't drop out of college to start or work for a startup. There will be other (and probably better) startup opportunities, but you can't get your college years back.
my testimonial on the conductor.build site, glaringly millennial
Sieve is growing fast and needs engineers!
The last two months have been insane. I randomly came into the office this morning and decided to record this video on why there has literally never been a more exciting time to join @sievedata. We're working with leading research teams pushing the frontier of creative, robotics,…
We made a Mac app that lets you run a bunch of Claude Codes in parallel. Introducing Conductor!

The beautiful bill raises the endowment tax. Probably some pain coming to venture and PE.
Happy for Figma folks. No real connection, just a ton of respect.

Kid going to sleep away camp for the first time. Strange feeling.
What is Amp doing that Cursor isn't? Seems differentiated, for the moment...
Side projects are becoming insufficient for evaluating AI coding progress. I am running out of tasks and improvements.
Answer also could be (in addition) that upper middle class is living a lower quality of life than their parents
