30 years ago today, @pmarca basically launched the web 1.0 era:

Yes please do this
One of San Francisco's largest redevelopment projects could completely transform nearly 19 acres of land near Downtown.
Plans are moving forward for the redevelopment of the Caltrain Railyards at 4th and King in SoMa.
The project could include:
• Up to 5,834 apartments
• Up to 5.6 million SF of commercial space
• 160,000+ SF of retail
• A completely rebuilt Caltrain station
• More than 4 acres of public open space
• Multiple skyscrapers reaching 350 to 600 feet
• A potential 850-foot tower
This land is currently occupied by railroad tracks, platforms, maintenance facilities and the existing Caltrain station.
The proposal would modernize the transit infrastructure, relocate train storage and maintenance, and create an entirely new mixed-use neighborhood above and around the station.
Thousands of people could be living, working, shopping and spending time in what is currently a massive rail yard.
And all directly connected to one of the Bay Area's most important transit corridors.
The project is now entering environmental review, with construction potentially starting in 2029 and taking 15 to 20 years to complete....
There's obviously a long road ahead, but I love seeing developers think this big about underutilized urban land.
This could completely reshape SF.

I’ve been a happy @OpenTable user for years, so partnering with them is a celebration 🥳
We’re partnering with @OpenTable 🍽️
OpenTable connects diners around the world with 70,000+ restaurants, many of them neighborhood businesses. We’re excited to help them thrive across markets.
Starting in the US, and Canada, with Australia and Mexico planned later this year.
It's rare to see founders acknowledge that their exit was disappointing.
Kudos to @dens for his openness, for building a breakout product -- its 2009 SXSW is in the pantheon of buzziest launches ever -- and for keeping the FSQ flame lit for 17 years.
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/som…
Brewers NLCS starters: sophomore, rookie, rookie
Dodgers NLCS starters: Skubal, Yamamoto, Snell
Guess who won all 3 games
Robert Gasser of the @Brewers is the first rookie in MLB history with a scoreless start in the postseason against the defending champs.
When Bauers hit this ball in the 11th pitch of the AB, I jumped off my couch screaming and nearly passed out from the head rush. So awesome

Introducing multi-dimensional pricing in Airwallex Billing.
You can now price usage differently based on dimensions like model, media type, processing mode, region, or any other attribute, all through a single meter and rate card.

⚙️ If you're looking for ideas on what to build for the @Airwallex Agentic Banking Hackathon, check out our newest demo app: Freelance Marketplace.
It connects buyers and sellers, and each person gets an account at sign-up. Buyers pay up front; when they approve a milestone, the payment lands in the seller's account.
