Uh, hey, I just cloned the repo and

0:02

can't find any tests or documentation

0:05

and no one was at standup. Is everyone

0:07

out of the office today? Started [music]

0:08

up a startup, I'm the CEO. Name an

0:11

algorithm, I'll give you the big O. I

0:13

used to work at Netflix in case you

0:15

forgot. Now I stream on [music] Twitch

0:16

giving you brain rot. Always move

0:18

forward, no rollbacks with [music]

0:21

keyboard. It's the full rack sitting on

0:23

a ball, it's for the low back. Never

0:25

finish [music] projects.

0:28

Yeah, yeah,

0:30

problems. [music] Got one, two, three,

0:32

don't solve them. Won't fix, not

0:34

problems. Cashed out, crashed out, and

0:37

forgot them. [music]

0:42

>> [music]

0:46

>> Uh,

0:47

sitting [music] in the hackers making

0:48

MRR threads. You're telling me that your

0:51

project ain't dead. 12 bucks [music]

0:53

monthly, you're a mogul in your head. 37

0:55

prompts just to turn a button red. Your

0:57

product [music] pathetic, your customers

0:59

hypothetical. Mom's your only user and

1:01

she doesn't even get it. [music] My

1:02

growth frenetic, my retention is

1:04

hermetic. All your tests are passing but

1:05

your traffic stay synthetic. Bro, I

1:07

picked your DB and the only user [music]

1:09

is you. England is my city, said David

1:11

of Design. Oh, oh, laid you out whilst

1:13

on my Figma grind. Your GPT [music] slop

1:16

is 10 years behind. Paul Emmett decided

1:18

your product's in decline.

1:20

That's as British as I go.

1:22

Don't worry, bro. I got this.

1:24

>> [music]

1:25

>> Made a whole career giving code away for

1:26

free. Now I'm on a yacht with my friends

1:28

around me. Started with a call, let's

1:31

sell some coffee. SSH door from the

1:33

license [music]

1:34

MIT. Call me Obi-Wan, gave SSH a new

1:36

hope. Where we're going, see us with a

1:39

telescope. [music] Shipping coffee like

1:41

a machine, moving so fast like Lightning

1:43

McQueen. Kachow.

1:47

Unit tests, pull requests, redundancy,

1:50

security, JavaScript, TypeScript,

1:53

[music] UI shipped,

1:55

bug shipped, sobriety,

1:58

sanity, loneliness.

2:00

>> [music]

2:01

>> Oh, seriously? Loneliness?

2:04

SSL, TLS, DNS, VPN, IAM, IDE, IDE is

2:09

Yanni.

2:09

>> [music]

2:10

>> Yeah, yeah, yeah problems. Got one, two,

2:13

three, don't solve them. Won't fix, not

2:16

problems. [music] Cashed out, crashed

2:18

out, and forgot them.

2:22

>> [music]

2:29

>> Got a problem, [music]

2:30

put it in my backlog. If it ain't about

2:32

the money, tell them circle back, dog.

2:34

Must be recursion how the stack's

2:35

overflowing. You're running out of

2:37

runway like you're in a Boeing. [music]

2:39

Money longer than a unsigned int. Tell

2:41

your product mommy we got product market

2:43

fit. My crew's on [music] the yacht, we

2:45

got gold-plated urinals. We suffer from

2:46

success and I'm afraid it's terminal.

2:49

>> [music]

3:00

>> Hey, we made that music video and we

3:03

launched a coffee company at React

3:05

Miami. And this year, April 20th through

3:07

3:11

happening in Miami. Get your tickets

3:14

now.

3:15

I'm going to see you in Miami.
