@mikulaja Their disclosures at the bottom of the email had me dying of laughter. Who is their chief compliance officer?
@rauchg @heyaleksandr @vercel Honestly this is the most frustrating thing for me. I set up each vercel account for each company I’m working at, each with a paid seat. I have one GitHub account shared across the companies. I don’t mind paying for extra seats but vercel to GitHub shouldn’t be 1:1
Thiel Fellowship upped the stakes this year. $100,000 → $200,000. 2 Years. These are the 15 names under the age of 22 you're going to want to watch.

For these exceptional fellows, we are providing an alternative,” Peter Thiel, Chairman of the Thiel Foundation.
DEEP DIVE: How The Thiel Fellowship Created $750B+ In Value | Ethereum, Figma, OYO, Anthropic “Brilliant thinking is rare, but courage is in even shorter supply than genius.” - Peter Thiel Danielle Strachman (@DStrachman), a Founding architect of the Thiel Fellowship, shares

@0xDawggy this is actually really interesting
@shaoruu @cursor_ai Being able to have .cursorrules or similar at a per directory basis (for monorepos with multiple apps and packages). Also it never gets the shadcn command right in yolo mode even if I add the right command to the global prompt in settings
@mckaywrigley @shaoruu @cursor_ai Honestly this. An example of use case here is that chat was really good at understanding the code and building a mermaid chart of how the data flows. Wanted to act on it from there but had to ask it for a prompt with context for composer. Felt hacky
@KianSadeghi5 constantly killing it 🔥🔥🔥
@RoryOReilly @Millions Honestly, @KnotAPIs is one of the best fintech products I’ve seen. I just recommended it to another fintech founder today
@yo Strong agree. Startups are hard enough as is. If the culture sucks and the work is grueling, people will burn out quickly and leave.
@pitdesi I think plaid revenue will increase a decent amount as they roll out more of their fraud tooling for fintechs. Cognito acq has paid off nicely for and plaid signals looks like a promising competitor to sardine. Kyc, transfers, and fraud tools in one place
Adopting a cat with a weird little meow is like winning the lottery
you know an engineer is cooking when they start chewing on the hoodie strings 😮💨
@_Liso_ May not be good for the body but it’s good for the soul
Gossip? Oh you mean trickle down yaponomics
@RogueCfpb @kmdrew This is why I’m a fan of @synctera’s approach here. You still have a direct relationship with the bank and Synctera provides a compliance team + APIs for you to start with. As you scale, you can swap in your own vendors/team
@RogueCfpb @kmdrew The downside to this is that it is incredible expensive. It’s the route we went with for Zurp (direct relationships with bank, card network, etc) but it’s extremely slow and expensive to go that route. May not be a bad thing to have that as a barrier to entry though
