After early GitHub and GitLab, I started getting into angel investing. I've done a couple hundred investments into startups over the years, and I kept waiting for someone to build something to like, track these damn things better, since they're not publicly traded and it's such a pain to even begin to track all this stuff.

But no one did! So I'm doing it.

Initially it's targeted to angel investors, but it's also great if you have stock with your employer. One of the things I wished I had done differently back at GitHub is to treat my stock like an investment rather than just "something that happened to me". First step in doing that is to just track it and measure it.

It's free to sign up and use, and then there's paid plans if you're more serious about your finances. Curious to hear your thoughts!

Also me, reading further: Uh-oh.

The chief of police also resigned today; wouldn't be shocked if this was part of the reasoning.

Part of the difficulty was info leakage; early on there was a lot of concern that a 403 would imply the existence of a repo that the org might otherwise not want known publicly. This was a little trickier in practice, really: early versions of the page took slightly different pathways as it went through auth, so based on the duration of the page to render you could make some assumptions about whether the underlying repo existed or not. It was annoying to sort out, so it wasn't touched very often.

Certainly a lot could have been done with 404s over the years; they've only gotten worse. I put ultrathin font weights on the error pages move than a decade ago, when they were en vogue, and it kills me every time to see them still there. And, of course, the parallax effect has been removed, so now it's just sort of a dorky Star Wars or Looney Tunes reference without a lot behind it. Weird.

That said, mine also started before things like Oh My Zsh popped up, which are better frameworks to share and collaborate on these things. I think frameworks like that are great, and I think seeing someone's more "intimate" dotfiles is helpful, too- you get a look at how someone sets up their environment, which tends to be private unless you're doing a lot of pair programming. So yeah, just interesting all around.

I'm more of a casual when it comes to Final Cut Pro rather than a daily driver, but it does seem like the last year or two they've started to get back into the fight again. Some of the 360 VR/AI/multi-iOS camera changes seem to go more hand-in-hand with "Apple gives a shit about content creation again", buttressed by Apple Vision Pro and spatial photography.

As someone who's still eagerly awaiting like... any reasonable prosumer device to shoot for Apple Vision Pro, I think all of this industry is going to really ramp up in the next few short years very quickly. Gonna be interesting.

I mean, hell, even if it were just another game I’d probably find it relevant to include that Alex subbed off in the 14th, because that’s really eye-raising. This is a total miss by AI that would have never gotten past a real editor.
