Grantmakers give you money because they like that you’ve agreed to do the work the way they told you to do it… whether that’s the way it should be done or not. Act accordingly.

Just a reminder that I'm hosting a Startup AMA. It's virtual. So you don't even have to be part of the Oregon startup community to attend. You do, however, still need to be prepared to listen to me drone on and on and on in my monotone voice as I answer said questions. youtube.com/live/dRATtXu...

related to this: 2026 is going to be the weirdest one yet (positive) for CodeTV. big, fun, silly things in early discussions
if the discussions and calls I've been having lately are any indication, we're about to see significant renewed focus on developer communities. reality is setting in and companies are realizing AI is not a miracle; it's a tool, and tools are only valuable if and when people use them to build things
