We raised ~$60m before R1 launched in 2018. And we were still under 100 total when S2 launched at the end of 2019.

I'm not sure how things would have played out if we had 100m+ before we launched anything. We may have delayed launch even further and missed out on valuable market feedback and brand awareness.

“keep a copy of it”

It’s been so long since I sent a physical letter that I forgot the default is you only have a record of the replies.

> our lab

Which lab are you referring to?

I meant the academic lab that I was a part of while in grad school (would like to keep that anonymous for now, it's a smallish community).

Btw, I was at R:SS 2022 and meeting the Skydio autonomy team was one of the highlights of my career as a robotics engineer!

My friend just moved back to SF from Austin.

He said Austin seemed alive when it was one of the only places open during COVID, but now it’s just another place with worse weather.

I tried to do this, but apparently I didn’t start early enough.

Now my six year old daughter trolls me, saying “I love the ads” and refuses to let me press SKIP AD if we are watching a YT video together.

instead of presenting something as scary, you can try presenting it as lame.

keep talking about how you love the ads and soon your kids will reject them

Harm is all you need

I have a Tailscale wrapper script named rat-king.

I hate people that complain about logo redesigns, but I audibly groaned when I saw this amorphous blob icon.

I like how sharp the old logo looked, so this feels too rounded and squiggly by comparison.

The adjustable colors are nice though. Hopefully it grows on me.

At least it isn’t another four-primary-colors app like Slack or Google, etc.

When I first saw the new logo, I thought "no way" and I hated it, but I got used to it really fast and now I probably even prefer it to the old one
