muslim and arab (especially palestinian) colleagues in the tech community i've spoken with feel uncomfortable speaking about their recent experiences, often out of fear of retaliation and damaged career prospects.
our industry should be united in our support of these colleagues; it is an atrocious time. i continue to hope for a real and lasting peace, and that in the meantime we can treat each other with empathy.

I finally wrote down my thoughts about Glossy, the book about Glossier (where I used to run comms). I have some pretty strong feelings about how Emily Weiss is portrayed, and even stronger ones about what the lessons are (and aren’t) for women founders. link.medium.com/B31qG8uqnEb

Amazon and Calendly both didn't have technical co-founders
Our startup just hit 40,000+ users without a technical co-founder
Don't let not having a technical co-founder stop you from launching a startup.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The tweet suggests that Jeff Bezos isn't a "technical" founder, implying he doesn't have engineering expertise. However, Bezos earned degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Princeton University in 1986.
