I still think @caseynewton.bsky.social and @kevinroose.com are a great interviewing duo and good journos.

And @shl.bsky.social should be commended for being candid about his DOGE experience. Lots of insights from that (even if some infuriating)

What did absconding to Utah to study fantasy fiction and mingle with Mormons teach @shl.bsky.social about building his startup?

The one thing Silicon Valley couldn't teach him—though it's arguably the most important lesson of all.
