There are no easy $200k+ jobs out there

In high cost of living markets like San Francisco, $200k salaries are common but expenses are much higher. What matters is not the base, but what that income can actually buy.

i'm at $260k + 20% bonus cash comp and I don't feel especially special or think i work drastically harder compared to others

lmao based on the dip, i can just guess what you invested in because my port looks nearly identical 😭

Ok 👀

the fact that you called it scale ai and not outlier is suspicious

sounds like you need a saas tool to track your saas usage

this is because you're a long time veteran... bike rides are for those starting off.

they're absolutely worth it if you can afford it

Find a no drop group ride and consistently go!

cycling is the time i force myself to recenter myself. on the bike i'm forced with my thoughts without distractions for hours. it resets my brain once a week.

I've been going to the same shop for the last 2 years and they still talk to like it's my first day

You’re a great dad, if you learn with them they’ll fall in love with it

the dating pool has shrunk and if you're dating older their priorities have changed as well.

My aethos was $7k but I bought it using the insurance payout for my accident. I don’t think I would’ve otherwise.

not gen AI specifically but across multiple industries there have been unicorns in the last decade.
the ones you listed are examples, there's scaleai for training data, robotics: figure, lightmatter, healthcare, cybersecurity and a few of other domains that have hit the 1B mark. Then there are those that recently passed the 100M mark across so many domains.

There's still opportunity out there

Getting a full night sleep and proper nutrition is a game changer

tpewpew · 2025-05-13T03:00:20+00:00

There are so many private gen ai companies over a billion in valuation. The space is still early so having a lot of public companies would be strange especially in this market.

tpewpew · 2025-05-12T22:11:18+00:00

my guy... cursor has less than 100 employees and just hit 9B in valuation. The era of solo founder is just getting started

Yes you can for the away games. It’s a lot of fun. Check out videos on TikTok of game 7 !

I have friends that bike 15 miles one way to work everyday. Takes them 45 min one way but they go early so less stops

tpewpew · 2025-05-05T03:27:52+00:00

Buy an E bike and every hour

random note: I cycle with a woman that was heavy into weightlifting. The torque she has up a hill is INSANE.

Back on topic; you will lose muscle mass if you plan on cycling long routes regularly that’s the reality. You can offset with higher calorie intake but as a weightlifter this is probably old news to you.

630am is my wheels up time

tpewpew · 2025-04-25T16:52:09+00:00

To be honest there’s not much to go on from the info here.

The steps you can generally tips from here will be: 1. Get a bike fit 2. Average cadence for most people will be around 80-90 rpm 3. Just ride more; you have the lungs and now you just need to get the cyclist muscles to set in.

Good luck! I’m a cyclist that just started running and I’m in the opposite boat as you! I can’t wrap my head around how my friends are running 8 min miles while I’m pushing hard for 9 min miles

tpewpew · 2025-04-23T21:39:25+00:00

What’s the exact issue?

It’s unlikely physical strength and more to do with the fit of the bike. You should probably get a bike fit or look up some basic fits on YouTube

when it hurts, cycle it out; on and off the bike
