Hey friend,
Yoooooooooo. I am so sorry. This week has been insane for me! As you know, weāre getting closer to launch ā I mean, shit ā we did launch⦠⦠itās just under-wraps as I make some hot-fixes and build in productionā¦
⦠and the truth is that I havenāt slept for a week and a half straight. Iāve been getting better each day, but, it was all leading up to today⦠and⦠my team fucking killed it ā Iām so proud of them.

Remember when I told you a few months back that the biggest thing missing from our fundamental culture was a significant, shared win? Today⦠I was able to deliver on that promise that weād get one before the year was done:
Now, Iāve probably aged 10 years, but, this mattered a ton to me. As you know, one full year ago (!!!) I sat in a coffee shop writing this newsletter to you and, honestly, I wasnāt sure if I could do it ā I mean, read that issueā¦
⦠now⦠NOW, you have the real context my friends.
You see, one year ago I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close to pulling the fucking pin and I was convincing myself that I was worthy of having good things because⦠well⦠I simply was having a hard time stomaching the idea.
2019 was the year, as you know, I nuked my company. Started it from scratch. 2020 was when the world nuked itself. And some folks donāt understand why, in a real and serious way, Iām actually frightened out of my goddamn mind about what 2021 might bring... ⦠lulz.
But, I know weāll get there and weāll get through it, together.
To infinity & community,
ā john
