Content generation AI is so obviously useful to the majority of people and it does not require an understanding of how it works in order to be impressed by it.

Chris Dixon has no business on this list. He is A16z's chief crypto shill on Twitter and blocks anyone who even remotely questions crypto/web3/blockchain.

To say he is more interested in decentralized technology than money is laughable given his complete inability to engage in any sort of healthy discussion about it. He is bad for the space.

The way PG talks about these companies on Twitter makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Mighty https://twitter.com/search?q=mighty%20(from%3Apaulg)&src=typ...

Mighty so obviously had no idea who its customer was. Can't afford good hardware to run CPU/GPU-intensive browser apps? Why not spend $420 a year on a browser. Is it for enterprise or consumer? Who knows. He spoke of it like a once in a generation company [1] and the fact they spent 3.5 years working a product that never even launched goes against what I thought his philosophy was.

Replit - https://twitter.com/search?q=replit%20(from%3Apaulg)&src=typ...

Replit I feel suffers from the same problem and, possibly not coincidentally, PG talks about it the same way. Is it an IDE? Hosting platform? Education platform? How have they not found PMF after raising $100M over 8 years [2]? I feel like every time I see someone talk about the company on Twitter it's about them launching some brand new feature in a new area. On that, I also only ever see the same few people on Twitter chatting about it and have never encountered Replit in the wild. It's almost always Codepen, Codesandbox, JS Fiddle or Stackblitz.

It makes me seriously question PG's opinions on individual companies as his bias is so clear and it makes him appear so naive.

Nobody uses email to discover new email addresses, outreach is direct. Discoverability is a massive part of social media platforms and is hindered by the isolated pod structure that Mastodon supports

> This made it difficult to work with separate hosts (www.my.app vs. api.my.app).

This is still possible with session cookies if you use wildcard origin cookies i.e. *.my.app

He was recently hired by Vercel to work on it full time so I wouldn't be too concerned about the future of Svelte

This sounds like a great idea. Do you have any system for tagging or sorting them? Other than date of course
