    I am rich and have no idea what to do with my life. Where I talk about leaving Loom, giving up $60m, larping as Elon, breaking up with my girlfriend, insecurities, a brief stint at DOGE, and how I'm now in Hawaii self-studying physics. vinay.sh/i-am-rich-and-…

    Respect to Sumaiya Balbale for walking away from a lucrative @sequoia role, standing firm on principle against Shaun Maguire's Islamophobic remarks. Any founder should think carefully about taking investment from a firm that refuses to hold a partner accountable for

    Met with 2 broker-dealers in Miami who handle billions in volume: “Art has always been a way to save on taxes. You buy something for $50k. Get it appraised at $400k. Donate it. You’ve made $350k in tax savings.” Of course this is how it works. How have I never realized this.

    Cheat code to social gatherings: 1. Nothing to prove. You are a nobody. 2. Discussion should maximize the other person’s value and growth towards their version of happiness. 3. Assume everyone else has something profound to teach you.

    At approx. 10:21am PST yesterday @loom went through a security incident. This situation sucks. We've let our users down. But we've root caused and remediated. This is a technical overview of what happened.

    1. Loom security incident happens. 2. @GergelyOrosz drags us publicly because that's his brand. 3. I send out a tweet thread that goes viral and follow up with customers directly. 4. He asks for more info. I ask him his ETA. 5. 2 Months of radio silence. 6. Comes back and says

    Finished Zero to Hero in 5 weeks. Built and trained GPT-2 from scratch. Read over 20 research papers and took notes. Mental health++ from being off the apps. Did all this while I had no idea I was trending on Twitter for people not approving of the books I read. Amazing.

    Been dating again and meeting cute women who don't have Instagram accounts. Shit gives me hope. Not for my own dating life. For everyone else's. There's no hope for my own dating life.
