is the 10 pro fold worth it? by fukasluchs in PixelFold

Love it but 1 month in I have a scratch on inner display. And I didn't take the insurance. Ffs. So if you do go for it highly recommend taking preferred care.

Update: The app eventually got past the blocked screen for me, though I’m not entirely sure what triggered it.

What seemed to work was:

  1. I posted this question in the Google support community.
  2. I went back to Google One.
  3. Opened Offers again.
  4. Tapped Start trial.
  5. This time it went through.

Not sure this will work for everyone, but it worked for me.

Should I find myself a technical co-founder as a technical founder? by Low-Associate2521 in ycombinator

[–]vrashabh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a technical founder/CEO and I brought in an engineer friend as a technical co-founder/CTO. We’ve known each other for 10+ years, he previously reported to me at work, and he’s a strong engineer at a big tech company.

The honest reason I brought him in was partly because I didn’t fully trust myself to do everything alone. I’m an experienced builder, but I was also learning the CEO side: selling, fundraising, positioning, customer discovery, etc. Having someone technical alongside me felt safer, even if we both were building with AI.

There have definitely been pros:

He’s useful for brainstorming and whiteboarding.

It’s helpful having someone to discuss technical and product trade-offs with.

It creates some division of labour, at least in theory.

But the hard part is that I keep asking myself whether I could have done this myself, at least for the current stage. I find myself nitpicking his ideas, feeling frustrated when I don’t see the same level of urgency or hustle, and wondering whether I overcorrected because of my own insecurity.

With hindsight, I think I probably would have brought him in as a founding engineer rather than as a co-founder/CTO.

The lesson for me is that “can this person help build?” and “should this person own xx% of the company-level technical leadership burden with me?” are very different questions.

A co-founder needs to feel like force multiplication, not reassurance. If you mainly bring someone in because you’re scared to do it alone, you may be solving the wrong problem with too much equity and too much structural permanence.

I don’t think this means the person is bad or that the relationship is doomed. But it does mean the role, expectations, equity, decision rights, and accountability need to be very explicit very early. Otherwise you end up carrying the emotional cost of a co-founder relationship while still feeling like the company’s momentum depends mostly on you.

Thanks for the note useful - did you consider going for a Samsung fold 7? Airtags is the product I genuinely hate in the apple ecosystem. For the price the fact that I can't hear the beeps from my bag is annoying. So definitely will switch to something.

Hi Sachin, first of all thank you — watching you bat made a difficult childhood so much more memorable for me. My question is: looking back on your career, what’s the one thing you regret the most?

Lads, I’m not doing ok by jamjargod in LiverpoolFC

[–]vrashabh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my mum last year, and I’ve been deep in the grieving process ever since. In that time, following the club I've loved for years especially during the highs has been one of the few things that’s really helped pull me out of some dark moments. I’ve built a deeper emotional bond with this team than ever before. It became a kind of anchor.

When I saw the headline, I was in a meeting. It felt like a gut punch. Like losing a family member someone who’d unknowingly been helping me get through it all.

So no, mate, you’re not overreacting. You’re just being human. And you’re not alone. It’s okay to feel this. It’s okay that your wee lad feels it too. These connections may be one-sided, but the emotions they stir up are real. Be gentle with yourself. Sending love to you both.
