There's nothing more satisfying than striking fear into engineering partners by casually dropping in that you've been "vibe coding" 😂

Crazy lawsuit from an investor - Softbank - against a startup - IRL.
Softbank invested $150m in 2021 ($25m went to insiders) on the claim that IRL had 12m monthly users.
But the company was spending 50k a month on a bot army and the app was "a virtual ghost town."
Really excited about rolling this out with @justindavies . Lots more to come here, can’t wait!
Really excited to announce a new partnership and the first using our new technology - Pin Drop Experiences! We’re going to be supporting @LupineTravel with their Trans-European Race from London to Istanbul at the start of August. Good luck to all the racers!!
In the depths of festive prep it dawned on me that next year there needs to be some w3w wrapping paper @ChrisSheldrick @gilesrhysjones :)

Google Maps changed its URL from "https://maps [dot] google [dot] com" to "https://google [dot] com/maps".
Looks like it's not a big deal, but when you grant the location permission in your browser you now grant it to the whole #google [dot] com domain. 🤨

Thinking of all my friends and past co-workers a lot this week.
My only positive takeaway is that these ridiculously talented people will emerge the other side with some incredibly exciting companies and products in 2023/24. These minds can never be idle.
DM me if I can help.
Browsing Amazon I stumbled across this little treat by @SnoopDogg - amazon.co.uk/Crook-Cook-Plat…. Still not sure if it’s real or not but oddly intrigued…
Ordered a new @Apple iMac at 11pm last night and it was delivered at 10am this morning. How is that even possible!?
