June 11, 2017

Today is Tuesday April 11th 5:11 PM and I am on the L back to my apartment.

Yesterday it started to feel like summer. The warmth gives life to the city and it gives the feeling that things are in motion.

Last week we launched Milestones and while the launch was not perfect, I can feel us making progress towards our mission. I haven't been this optimistic about the state of science in a long time.

Three months ago Denny and I switched roles indefinitely, the Freaky Friday tip I stole. It is finally starting to pay off. I am becoming a better engineer.

There is still a lot of improvement for myself and the team. But for the first time in a long time I can say I am extremely proud of our team's work. I'm definitely going for the most improved award. And, if we keep winning the most improved award we will soon be eligible for many others.

For myself I've been writing a lot more for our team and I feel our team is absorbing knowledge faster and more efficiently. It also feels easy, natural. Today it felt like what used to take six hours to communicate was reduced to thirty minutes. Is this time travel?

If my role today is to make a judgement on (a) if the market is bigger than what has been exploited to date and (b) if we're going to be number one, the answer is a yes on both counts. I whole heartedly believe we are doing everything in our power to maximize value for our community, the founders, the employees, and our investors in that order.

It doesn't get better than this. The feeling of progress happening right before our eyes.
