If you don't know what to write for the week:

"Expand on a recent cast" is a great evergreen prompt

I think I’ve gotten better at memecoins by never looking at prices

Just buying based on what’s actually happening in that community (memes, grants, products, etc.)

It’s like stock investors looking at “the fundamentals”

I think higher is a metabrand

The path forward isn’t to make “higher” happen, it’s to invest in higher-aligned brands

I’d rather be an incubator than a founder

Is there anyone building on top of /someone-build?

83% of /firstdraft members posted writing last week, and 18 are still eligible for a share of the October prize pool of 100,000 $higher (currently almost $2500!)

Here's a thread of everything the group wrote this past week 👇

✏️ What are you planning to write about this week?

Guess which is which

I spun out a newsletter for First Draft Club!

In this issue, I introduce the newsletter and go behind the scenes with my "tech stack" for managing the community.

Can you tell I've been talking to ChatGPT about my workspace

What tools do you download to desktop vs. use in the browser?

How do you make that decision?

I can’t take credit for starting this but I do love giving (unsolicited) video feedback!

The NYC DOT has a podcast called Curb Enthusiasm 🙂

Detect a screenshot -> pull up a custom share sheet

Encourages native sharing options, which drive network effects

Seeing this in a lot of apps recently, whoever started this was clever

Zinger is updating his resume and has been procrastinating on it for weeks

If he doesn’t finish it by the end of tomorrow I will harass him publicly

A way to bet on myself working out a certain number of minutes each week (verified with @receipts points)

This past week set a new high for First Draft Club, with 20 active members! October is off to a great start 🔥

Here's a thread of everything written for /firstdraft last week 👇

Embedding participant recruitment into your product can be clever

but this move from /arc actually confused me into thinking I had already opened a tab for it

✏️ What are you planning to write about this week?

Clips from this set have been going viral on TikTok

lots of pop hits thrown in here (there's a sick Gorillaz x Kendrick mix at 33:00)

After years of walking & sitting other people’s dogs, it’s looking like I’m finally going to get my own in the next month or two 🥰

Any advice?

Current thinking:
- adopting from local shelter / foster org
- ideally 4-9 mo old (already housebroken but still young)
- mid-size breed, we love pitty mixes

If you want anyone to be able to reply to your cast, don't put it in a channel

Channels are communities, not topics

Still working on my "open cover letter" / career story

This excerpt is about my experiences joining early-stage startups
