🥹 Just got this text from my mentor... "This is awesome!  Keep going. Very happy to see all this. You have immense talent and potential and I would love to see it being realized" Yet again, his tangential force changed my course. Thanks, Vipin Pavithran, for always pushing me!

They even made a veggie chili - and it was one of the best I've had in a long time! The spice was PERFECT. Great work Chef Tom Blomfield, Sous-chef Garry Tan & Pete Koomen - Cactus awaits you'all to be onboarded! cc Ajith Govind Satheesh

Super excited to be featured in Forbes! My first time going through Y Combinator and I wouldn't have done it without Ajith Govind Satheesh - what an experience! Bottomline: right co-founder matters a lot more than you think! Truly grateful and looking forward to building a 🦄

Today is DEMO DAY!!! When you find the CEO of Y Combinator personally making sure everything is perfect, you know you are in a very special place. Garry Tan gave a rousing speech to the batch and we are SO pumped. Already heard from so many investors that this batch is breaking

Stranger: "How old is your son?" Me: "Let’s hear it from him" Twinkle in his eyes 🤩 melts my heart. I don't answer for my kids, and this builds their confidence. The conversations that continue are beautiful! Atomic habits. Do you let your kids answer for themselves too?

I've got over 500+ inbounds from people seeking roles. Not a single one of them is from Rails, which is what we are building Cactus on. Only reach out if 1. You are a top 1% rails engineer 2. In SF or ready to relocate (happy to sponsor visa) 3. Open to a fully paid trial

Outright daylight robbery by Slack. You need to pay for slack to even access a connected channel - hosting side paying isn't enough. On the other hand Basecamp by 37signals is so simple - the organization hosting the project pays, and contractors and guests access for free!

The irony of Silicon Valley: SF/Bay Area is the global tech & startup hub... Yet fiber internet options are almost nonexistent! Only one provider in my city, and the tech said, "I'm not sure if we can set it up for you." Tweeting this from my 1 GIG ↑/↓ fiber connection. 🚀
