Thank you! (Generalist staff here). I should note that many other companies have shown t-shirt folding at this point; however, the significance of us showing it here is not that we can do it, but rather we can do it as one of many tasks, and do it with mastery.

Each item is 33px tall, which on my screen, and for the sake of easy math, is ~1cm.

If every year got 1 row, and we were on a linear instead of a logarithmic-ish timescale, the start of section 1 (4.1 billion years ago), would be about 41,000km tall, which is slightly bigger than the circumference of the eath.

13.813 billion years at this scale, at 138,130km, is just over a third of the way to the moon.

I'd also add https://tldroptions.io/ as a quick and dirty potential options valuator. That being said, I agree with the author's default assumption that private options should be valued at zero, especially for financial planning purposes. At the same time, it is this hockey stick that is a strong part of the allure of smaller startups. There's an entirely separate levels.fyi equivalent that needs to be made for the amount of equity employees get at various stages of a company. It should also note that the size size of the exit is inversely proportional to the odds that it'll happen.

We offer an API behind Azure DNS. As a hacky, but functional, workaround for our customers they can manually add our server's IP address to their /etc/hosts file. It'd be important for them to revert that once DNS returns; however as a quick fix this might help some people.
