The Fed is trapped. Oil at $81 → inflation rising. Stocks selling off → growth slowing. Yields above 4% → no room to cut. Stagflation isn't a theory. It's a Tuesday. Rate at 3.5-3.75%. Next meeting March 17. They will do nothing. And that's the problem....

AI is compressing how we build. Roles collapse, roadmaps expire quickly, and you end up rewriting the product every few months. So we thought we’d give people a behind-the-scenes look. 21 Days to Launch, a Replit documentary. https://t.co/isWq9KtMIO
Turns out HubSpot isn't dead. 💀 I gave Claude Code 30 days of AppSumo software costs ($100,000) total. Asked it to analyze cost, effort, maintenance of replicating all the software we are using. It found ~$500 / month in costs but many of...

Everyone said BNPL was dead after the 2022 crash. Flex is doing $6.5B TPV, 20%+ MoM growth, in under 2.5 years. The obituary was wrong. The category just needed a better product.

Casper hit a $750M valuation in 4 years with one move: a 100-night risk-free trial. They made buying a mattress feel safe. Meanwhile you won't even offer a simple money-back guarantee. That's the gap.

Assuming Trump backs off his Spanish Embargo threat (a safe assumption, IMO), it won't just be another TACO. It'll perfectly prove @ATabarrok's point here about why an emergency wartime law like IEEPA would allow a presidential import ban but not...
