Where we landed before hitting the Cursor free limit for the month. NPC farmhands and a farmhouse. A creek also runs through the property.

I decided to build a 3-d farm sim using Cursor instead of doing my taxes.

One of my guilty pleasures is reading comments in the ChubbyFIRE subreddit. This is a lifestyle I will never understand, even if I eventually have $10m.

This post is titled “At what NW would you feel comfortable buying a $3m house?”

Can’t even call a normal plumber if something goes wrong.

I think the white, frazzled hair really aged him. Here he is just one year prior in Buckaroo Banzai, and two years prior in September Gun.

Interesting that the goal should be presented first and the context last.

I’ve typically provided context first and then winged it with everything else.

For those drooling over FAANG salaries, a sobering post on the reality of working those jobs.

This is exactly how I felt when I was working in management consulting.

My son visited Disney this year with his grandparents. They had a great time but lamented this would be the only trip they take there. My wife and I refuse, as the all-in cost of a week is equivalent to a month-long trip to Europe.

We use so much wood on days like this… it was full this morning

Today we built a firewood rack and gathered wood. I don’t want to split wood in negative Fahrenheit temperatures if I can help it.

This is what your Spotify Wrapped looks like if you have an 8-year-old son.

If you’re selling to B2B, you need to be thinking at the team level.

PLG works for user acquisition but quickly unravels for anything more than small orgs.

Once you have that user acquired, you must track and nurture at the team level. Many companies only do this for Ent, which is a mistake.

Hindenburg Research thinks they are a scam, among other things. Inflating both DAU and incentivizing bot engagement to pump the stock.

Roblox made $2.23 billion in 2023 but also reported a loss of $1.15 billion.

$1.43 billion of their spending was toward R&D. Thats 37% of their total budget.They pay some of the highest engineer salaries in the industry.

The cool thing about backcountry skiing is that most hiking trails are possible backcountry ski trails.

I used a 24hr snowfall map vs a forecast because the precipitation forecasts here are frequently inaccurate.

The green area is where I usually go. The red area is where I went today.

Where I live in NY, we almost never see the kind of snow like Buffalo or North Country.

So this morning I went powder hunting. It was totally worth it. From zero snow to legit backcountry skiing in 40 min.
