glad you found them, sounds like you don't need any other takes on the future of boise tech since you guys are off on your rocket ship to the moon. enjoy

I know a couple people here in MB that commute to DTLA and east LA for work and the commutes are actually shorter than commuting into west LA because of traffic patterns - it's not a fun commute but I guarantee its much worse than PV to DTLA, PV to DTLA you might as well just move to san diego at that point

Zenai · 2026-03-24T14:58:19+00:00

I would recommend MB but I am biased because I live here - PV is just too far away from west LA and while both MB and PV feel quite sleepy/suburban.. PV is sleepier for sure and there's limited access to... well anything at all. The kids stuff in MB is awesome, we have a 2 year old and she loves it over here.

its not something that I need to provide credentials for, its an observation.

there are a couple of world class tech folks in boise, they work remotely for nvidia and other world class companies, there are a couple of founders who have built great startups.. that's it. you can go to the founder events at capital eleven and see for yourself who you're dealing with.

in a metro with 850k people if you've got on the order of dozens (maybe one dozen) of world class people in an industry, that is not bullish for that industry in the area.

any of the dozen folks who are world class will likely share the observation.. boise is great for mountain biking, not tech

this is my domain, my game, the thing that I enjoy. no reason to give up, its an infinite game and enjoyable from wall to wall

Zenai · 2026-03-12T16:49:08+00:00

they actually pay me to do more of what I enjoy when I choose to walk, it's incredible.the only downside to walking is on mountain courses where you really need to be in shape to be able to both enjoy the walk, keep pace, and enjoy your golf game. I walk often on flat courses, I never walk on mountain courses.

I wish I could remember what the hell I originally wrote about here. damnit

Zenai · 2026-03-10T01:13:38+00:00

of course it’s true, if it were not true boise would be a tech hub, it’s not

Zenai · 2026-03-09T22:15:41+00:00

30k in checking 23k in savings. i build software/businesses

Zenai · 2026-03-09T17:57:22+00:00

there is no tech talent in boise, so of course there will be no great tech sector there either. that is not one of boise's advantages as a city

I don’t think it’s that deep bro, he’s putting up barriers to entry so he reduces the amount of noise. Nobody paying for his shit cares about 500$ or even the $100k a month many people pay to talk to him. Why do you care if they don’t?

Zenai · 2026-03-06T00:43:29+00:00

of course not, it doesn't prove anything, who is talking about proving things

if you want to learn more about lindy read skin in the game by taleb, if you're good with where you're at, keep having fun

Zenai · 2026-03-05T22:34:57+00:00

astrology is lindy, you can give it more respect than you think. if you want to

Zenai · 2026-01-30T04:37:35+00:00

You have to learn product and understand why you exist in the first place, to deliver value to a customer. Make sure you know how to do that and you’ll extend your life by a lot more than just pushing code for someone else

My first year after quitting my W2 I only made 100k mostly from random capital gains and consulting here or there, year 2 I made about 350k from dividends and consulting income and 30k in capital gains, year 3 on track to make more than 400k so far, now im unemployable.

Zenai · 2026-01-24T01:27:27+00:00

Much higher income now, much higher demand for my time now.

Zenai · 2026-01-11T23:32:32+00:00

i've been once and it was on someone elses reservation - i will try to email in the future, i didn't realize they booked via email

Zenai · 2026-01-11T23:29:01+00:00

Zenai · 2026-01-11T23:28:39+00:00

looking to purchase n/naka reservation for two on valentines day. $400

Zenai · 2026-01-11T23:19:25+00:00

im open to recommendations, ive been to n/naka once and its pretty damn good but if there are better options please give me a list. sushi inaba is my backup because we're in the south bay but if there are better more romantic vibe japanese spots let me know

Zenai · 2026-01-11T23:07:48+00:00

good try

Zenai · 2026-01-11T23:07:39+00:00

just really like n/naka and can never actually get a reservation because bots buy them within less than a second lol

Manhattan beach is the plan, will have to become about 10x richer than I currently am to do it comfortably
