Giving a shit is a moat. Not throwing slop grenades in your app at your customers is a moat. Human customer service with care and empathy is a moat. Just giving a shit is such a moat today.

โ€œa little unemployedโ€ is my personal north star.
The irony of a city like New York is that you need to be very well employed to live here, but you also need to be a little unemployed to really enjoy all its perks to the fullest

"want the algo to wash over them after a long day...."
Replying to @dens
A lot of people do not. A lot of people kind of want and need for the algo to wash over them after a long day at the job they hate or the school that they know will get them nowhere right now.

Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/somโ€ฆ
