    Daylight seems like the anti-Humane/Rabbit. Dropped a finished product out of nowhere that so outperforms people's priors that they literally can't believe it. Feels like it'll be taught in marketing textbooks 10 years from now.

    Honest feedback: the product is very expensive, the company raised an eye-watering amount of money, and there has been hubris throughout. Optimism is earned through humility and a recognition of how far where you are is from where you want to be. I haven't seen that w/ Humane.

    anyone saying they are more productive at focused work in a noisy open office on a laptop than in a dedicated home office is lying and wants to appear productive more than be productive

    My car has been broken into 7 times since I moved to the bay area. I've only had something stolen once. It's so unenforced window smashing is basically a local sport. Stop blaming victims.

    So pumped to see this land! ⏰ Running Cloud Functions on a schedule is now as easy as: functions.pubsub .schedule('every 5 minutes') .onRun(() => { doHappyDance() }); Proud to manage the team that shipped it! 🙌 🔥🔥🔥
