The company I've been working for has been doing a little PR push https://www.linkedin.com/posts/anchorzero_exclusive-anchorzero-raises-8m-for-founder-activity-7211360413442035712-3W6_/

It can feel weird, because PR can feel weird, but honestly I'm really proud of the product. I wouldn't have joined a startup if I didn't sincerely believe it was a product that should exist.

If you are at an early stage startup or thinking of founding something, you really really should check us out. I can put you in touch with the team, too!

I wonder if the current hiring doldrums in tech are temporary or systemic

experience says "temporary" but on the other hand, it feels like tech has been struggling to find a real engine of growth for a long time. maybe those days are over? VCs set money on fire with crypto, and now are chasing AI, but it's been a while since you had real drivers of growth. at the same time, big companies are taking the opportunity to knee-cap workers. unclear what would change this trend?

how are y'all keeping up with tech stuff these days? twitter's decline has really thrown a wrench in that for me

I know for many of us, tech isn't our "everything" like it may have been when we were younger, but I think that makes it even more important to have some solid sources of information to not fall too far off...

really liking tokyo so far. of course, you never know how things will go, but I'm usually pretty good at predicting these sorts of things...I think that as long as I can get a solid salary in USD working remotely from japan, we probably won't leave for a long time

it's exciting!

I don't know why hating on regex became a meme*. it's so, so useful! so useful
