RT nihal New York is about to make a massive mistake. The NY State Senate is advancing a proposal to decouple from federal QSBS (Section 1202) — the tax provision that lets startup founders exclude gains on qualifying exits. If this passes, founders would owe 10-13% in combined state and city tax on exits that are tax-free at the federal level and in nearly every other major tech state. Even worse: it's retroactive to January 1, 2025. This comes right as the federal government just expanded QSBS benefits and New Jersey moved to full conformity. New York wants to go in the opposite direction. As a seed investor in NYC who has backed hundreds of companies, I can tell you: founders are mobile. If New York becomes one of the most punitive states for startup exits, the best founders will simply build somewhere else — and the jobs, tax revenue, and innovation will follow. NYC has built something special over the last two decades. This proposal puts it all at risk for a short-sighted revenue grab. If you're a founder, investor, or anyone who cares about the NYC tech ecosystem — please sign the TechNYC open letter before Monday below 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 Keep building, NYC 🗽

Criminals in SF are given infinite chances at the cost of everyone else. KRON4 News: A driver who killed a family of four, including two babies, at a San Francisco bus stop was sentenced to probation. Mary Fong Lau (seen here walking through the courthouse today) dodged jail and prison time. Lau, 80, was speeding when her Mercedes SUV plowed into a West Portal

Almost every AI power user I know is MORE stressed and busier after using AI, not less What people thought AI would do: 10x productivity so that we can finish work earlier & relax more What it’s actually doing: 10x productivity so that we end up with 20x more things to do cos of the sheer possibilities

Claude Code with Figma MCP is an incredibly underrated combo for AI design.

It's working guys. This is exactly what I built for myself and what you can have for you now. It's also free and open source and you can fork it and make it your own. I don't want to hear the hate. This is a gift!

I underestimated how powerful Opus 4.6 with 1M tokens is. Even last year we were absolutely hitting context limit problems constantly. 1M tokens means you can do much more complex analysis entirely in context. Claude Code is so much better. This is the worst it will ever be.

I'm sure OpenAI has good reasons but from what I've seen hiring more people (especially 2x the size of the company in less than a year) doesn't actually make companies move faster. Polymarket: BREAKING: OpenAI reportedly plans to nearly double its workforce to 8,000 ‌from 4,500 by the end of the year.

RT Michael Bloch QSBS isn't a loophole. It's the only tax break in America that requires you to have created something from nothing. New York is about to eliminate it. Here's why that should matter to everyone, not just founders. cc: @nihalmehta @dhaber @juliepsamuels @davidu @zachweinberg @Trace_Cohen @yrechtman @WillManidis @mattturck @mansourtarek_ @brexton @BillAckman @packyM Michael Bloch: http://x.com/i/article/2035368950171664385

RT Tibo Do people like this? We don't do this for codex because it exists to help you and it's important that you remain the owner and accountable for your work without AI taking credit. At the same time it does mean that you can't trace how popular codex is among repos. Yuchen Jin: I noticed something interesting: Claude Code auto-adds itself as a co-author on every git commit. Codex doesn’t. That’s why you see Claude everywhere on GitHub, but not Codex. I wonder why OpenAI is not doing that. Feels like an obvious branding strategy OpenAI is skipping.
