I think it’s kinda interesting that Paul Graham/YC put out the call for stablecoin startups, and Stripe — the perennial example of a YC-backed company — sets a ceiling on them.

Was YC farming for acquihires?

Investors that have been the most helpful have also been the most direct. Things we heard and agreed with:

1. You don't need to raise that much.
2. Don't dilute yourself any more.
3. The economics don't make sense after X on Y valuation.
4. We don't care who you raised with before.
5. You should run lean.

Finally updated my personal site. Ended up going with a Rust SSG called Zola.

It’s a single binary, “Just Works,” and is super fast to deploy.

I used to use NextJS but a workflow package was deprecated, which finally pushed me over the edge to go zero dependencies forever.

Dang the $ZORA token airdrop took down Basescan from all the people trying to claim it. Haven't seen that in a while lol.
We are cringe but we are free.
Elon is out at DOGE. Tomorrow's headline is $399 million in income from operations, which is only positive because of expiring $595 million credits from governments.

I would bet those credits won't ever renew (e.g. Canada clawing back $30.11 million), and then we'll see FCF fall by a few hundo million Q1 2026.

Oof.

$TSLA earnings out. Brutal losses across the board. Can't see how Elon sticks with DOGE while Tesla is burning like this.

Next earnings will likely be even worse..
