Hey dont’t mind me, I’m just deconstructing Iraq war propaganda I remember from my childhood.

That whole thing about “Sadaam Hussein made like 20 guys get plastic surgery to look just like him” was fake right? Like that’s an insane thing that they just said on TV a lot in 2003?

My theory is that "working class white people solve a murder with the help of big-city cop/journalist" shows only exist so British actors can learn interesting American accents.

Every time I watch one of these shows its Mid-Atlantic-Mushmouth/Cajun/New-England (the weird accents) starring 4 Brits

I’m thrilled to announce that I will be speaking at Wire⚡Live next month! As someone who has used Livewire since its initial release, I'm excited to share the tips and tricks I use to write production-ready Livewire apps.

Come to Buffalo to help make the first Wire⚡Live great!
My headshot. I'm smiling, wearing big oval glasses, and I have blue, purple, and pink hair. I'm wearing a black and white button-down shirt that features a striped and floral print design. In the background, a brick building and a tree with turning leaves are visible. A grainy filter has been added on top. At the bottom, a black banner features the Wire⚡Live logo on the left and the text "Buffalo, NY October 28-29" on the right. Above the banner is the text "Speaker: Andy Newhouse" in black text on a yellow ribbon.

The Philadelphia Eagles just have “IT” this year. Unreal. That was awesome to watch.

I’m sorry the eagles just blocked two field goals in a row to win the game, and the Jets just blocked one to pull ahead. What is going on

An interesting sentence from the person yelling outside my house:

“I just got off the fuck work and you’re sitting here doing nothing.”

And to be in a situation where we needed to pay contractors without getting paid ourselves we would have to have a client ghost mid-contract (which has happened) but 90% of the time, even if we hit a sales cliff, we are in our leanest spending position because contracts ended on both sides.

At the end of the month we distribute everything in the checking account over 50k. Savings stays at 100k. So at a given time we have 130-180k in cash.

Our hard expenses are ~30k/mo. To not ramp down contractors quickly, call it 40k.

Usually 40-70k in invoices.

So 3-6 months cash + 1-2 invoiced

So far we have never hit one of those horrible cliffs where we have to start eating our bankroll, but any time something gets a little wonky I’m grateful not to be under extreme pressure to fix it in the next 14 days or miss payroll.

Thunk is similar, we have to place bets every 2-6 months. To protect us from existential risk, we:

1) keep $100k in cash earning 4% in an account that we never touch (bankroll)
2) require deposits up front from our clients, de-risking payment problems
3) bill time/materials to avoid estimation risk
