Mr. Market

If you haven't had Belvita breakfast cookies, you have probably had Biscoff cookies, which are similar.

My wife gave birth on June 24, 2026.

Yesterday I was looking at YC jobs to see if there were any interesting small startups hiring in my area (while I otherwise love my current fully-remote job, I'm looking for hybrid).

I grew up in a Catholic family in Boston.

Skepticism is a vital function of a healthy, open mind.

I work in tech, the industry of optimization, monetization, efficiency, and frictionlessness.

I've befriended some of the most thoughtful, brilliant, curious, eccentric, and sincere people I've ever met in the tech industry.

At 4am most mornings I go onto my sun porch in the dark and I watch the deep navy sky slowly blanch in degrees until 6 am or so, when it turns pale white.

Right now, we're on a plane that has been hijacked by 5-10 really smart but misanthropic people.

Every morning that we open our phones and laptops, we are staring pitifully at a necrotic digital organism.
