I am coming to you live from a Brandon, Mississippi Waffle House. I, a total loser, came in last place in my fantasy football league. As punishment, I spend 24 hours in a Waffle House. Every waffle I eat shaves an hour off the clock. It’s 4:07 Central.

If you want to have the biggest possible impact in tech, I think you should still move to the Bay Area. The people here, and the network effects caused by that, are worth it. It's hard to overstate the magic of lots of competent, optimistic people in one place.

A janitor making $4/hour walked into a Fortune 500 company boardroom. Shaking, he took a seat opposite the CEO. "So I had an idea..." he nervously began. Years later, that idea would become an iconic consumer brand and make him worth ~$20M. Here's how that meeting went 🧶👇

I've been thinking about this hit piece and how some readers may not instantly recognize it as a Teamsters plant. What's needed isn't non-activist journalism, but rather a layer for highlighting activism as an editor might. I've taken a stab at that here. docs.google.com/document/d/125…

🧵 With many of the Valley’s richest companies fleeing the Bay mid-pandemic, I feel compelled to speak out. There’s no question that California is imperfect. The cost of living, taxes and policies, among other things, make it difficult for lots of people to succeed here. (1/9)

Amazon launched in July 1995, and every Xmas was a near death experience for the first 7 years. I joined in ‘99 and got to experience this first hand. Starting in late Nov, all corporate employees were shipped to fulfillment centers to pack boxes for 6 weeks. Here’s what I saw:

This = MASTER CLASS. A must-read (or hear if you wait until tomorrow when Bezos reads it to Congress) in entrepreneurship, leadership, value-creation, invention, immigration, philanthropy, environmental stewardship. The team alongside Jeff Bezos writing this is 💯 LETS DIG IN

Like everyone, Jen & I have been looking for ways to help. We’ve been making some donations but want to give additional encouragement for all the ❤️ action we’ve already seen. So: I’ll match donations 5:1 (so, $5 for every $1 people send in) up to $1M for the orgs below. [Thread]

My wife left me home alone with the kids to go out drinking with her friends. A lesser man might whine and complain, but instead I'm just playing Chumbawamba's 1997 hit "Tubthumping" over and over and over. On the jukebox at their bar. Using the TouchTunes app.

This may be a long shot but I know how powerful the Twitter world can be. I’m profoundly deaf and have been out of work since 2009. Loads of barriers due to employers being unsure of taking deaf people on. Looking for data input jobs using computers. Retweets greatly appreciated

The magic of Silicon Valley is that all employees participate in success and honorable failures are quickly forgiven. But when founders extort obscene payments while employees are fired by the thousands, it invites regulatory scrutiny, imperils the system, and destroys the magic.
