Changes to section 174 of the tax code absolutely crush software startups.
A 5-year depreciation schedule for a software engineer’s salary is insane.
Is the new move to build a “finished product” pre-revenue then fire all your engineers? Seems plausible.

Life's been hard since last September...
I've been focused hard on my social media. Lots of fun, but little income
This Monday, I'm starting as a software engineer at a packaging distribution company here in Phoenix!
I've had plenty of time to mess around
Now, I get to work.
Just found out I ended up paying $450 for a GSuite Subscription I only used for ~a month about three years ago.
I thought I'd cancelled it long ago, but no - it's been leeching $12/month for years.
Starting to see why consumers are getting sick of this.
Walking down Garnet Ave. in Pacific Beach, San Diego.
I was last here ~a year ago.
Well over half of the stores & restaurants here have been replaced since then. Maybe as much as 70%.
Every closed storefront is someone’s courageous dream that ended in defeat.
Tough scene.
Reminder:
You can dump a list of email addresses & phone numbers into X ads to reach those people - exclusively - with ads (or as a lookalike audience).
If you have a CRM with a bunch of contacts & want to reach a similar crowd, hit me up 🤙.

Tooling around this evening, trying to find out what valuable trends I can suss out from Miami-Dade's property data.
For instance, I geocoded the address of every SFH that sold twice in the last year - basically "fix & flips".
Then made them into the "gentrification map" below.
This is my first Christmas alone, if memory serves.
Money is tight & spirits are low, but like a campfire smouldering in a snowstorm, hope remains.
I knew my journey would be hard.
I’ve been through so much worse.
I’m not going to give up halfway through.
