One must imagine that the Declaration of Independence would have been signed electronically had the technology existed. And Nick Cage would have never been able to steal it with Docusign's enterprise grade security and encryption.

RIP Lauren/Steven. Interesting, smart person. Met her IRL before posting the blog on Gitlab; not a good short thesis, but was a fascinating and diligent investigative work. Will think of Lauren when Cava eventually has a foodborne illness outbreak.

This is why I wake up in the morning. Myopic critics pan my life's work as just building some SaaS company. But how many SaaS's have been instrumental to matters of war and peace? Without Docusign, thousands more would needlessly die. At Docusign, we are literally saving lives.

Alibaba Qwen3.7 slowly fading into irrelevance at the frontier due to proprietary stance.
In it's place we have Minimax M3 and... *checks notes* Rio 3.5 397b, made by the municipal IT company of Rio de Janeiro's city government.

openai's government relations guy getting lutnick on the phone to say actually 5.5 is just as dangerous as mythos, if not more so, and that codex is actually easier to use and more powerful for doing bad things

saw a company with "AGI" in their name instead of the usual "AI". could argue it's kind of arrogant, could argue they're just thinking ahead.

saw an ad on public transit for a B2B SaaS that didn't mention AI, relic of a bygone era.

The goal of any woman dating a male autist is that the guy's next and last hyperfixation is you. It's kinda cute. Other weird guys out there take note.

I miss Kate so badly that I physically hurt.
It's been a week since we were together. She's still in Australia sorting her visa.
I feel more stressed. My emotions are stunted. My thoughts are cloudy and my mood has dipped.
It just hurts everywhere.

Once you hit a certain amount of followers people expect you to dance like a monkey wearing a fez cap, you are no longer a fallible human experiencing the whimsy that life offers, you are an avatar of incredibly minor entertainment while they shit on the toilet.

Being a moderatly sized account is so funny you can tweet like "I like pizza" and someone in the QTs will be like "wow real important huh. thanks for telling us"

Shame on everyone for sharing VC "horror stories." We should feel so lucky to be in the presence of VCs, the people who sacrifice their time from the goodness of their hearts to invent the world's greatest companies.

shipping 8x more code and I still cannot do RBAC for MCP servers in Anthropic's platform. ๐

Today, Anthropic engineers on average ship 8x as much code per quarter as they did compared to 2021-2025.

sort of using "RBAC for MCP" as a general stand-in for my litany of complaints about Anthropic's lack of enterprise functionality, yeah yeah people just care that Claude integrates into Excel, but my point is to just ask where's this 8x more code going to if not stuff like that
