One of the annoying things about startup investing is how weirdly anti-social it is. There isn't really even some kind of "list" of "angels" out there (I have no idea what you'd call it, though).
Anyway, added some social aspects to Signed today:

yasssss
i'm pretty sure Messages has been indexing since the first Obama administration and this message has never changed. apple still hasn't figured out how to use the `LIKE` keyword in sqlite, stg
Did a post on the actual mechanics of angel investing: from banks to legalese to mostly complaining a lot more about banks: zachholman.com/posts/the-to...
sure
sure, if they recorded then yeah, it’s a problem, but just having glasses on is something everyone would have gotten similar treatment on
well, it’s not the UK, and it’s usually not allowed in the US either. but they’d have to record for it to be inappropriate.
I mean, legally it doesn’t, unless they were doing any of those things.
sent!
possibly- I think there's definitely something there but it's either skunkworks or a foreign adversary. seems like there's too much smoke under high-powered sensor systems for there not to be fire. but yeah trump talking about it now is lol
I've invested in 233 companies and Signed tracks 'em, ingests investor updates, triages leads, diligences new startups, and all this other stuff I couldn't do before; makes me giddy to use it, lol. Dogfooding rules.
Beta's now; waitlist is now open: signed.com
When I started investing in startups 7 years ago, I asked other angels how they track their portfolio and I got a lot of "uh… spreadsheet, it's a mess". It's 2026 and everyone still says "uh… spreadsheet, it's a mess". So I started building Signed last year because wtf.
LLMs: Over the last three minutes I've written 67,283 lines of code to build a sophisticated system to manage failover infrastructure in high-throughput environments, with zero bugs.
Also LLMs: I've spent the last 13 minutes designing a bold new brand identity for your startup.
Prevailing sentiment is to treat agents like a "very smart intern", but I feel like that's exactly wrong. I treat it like "the dweeb who only has read a specific RFC for the last 30 years". I no longer get stuck for days on some dumb technicality that's blocking me.
we’ll see! not sure if i’ll publish this one or not
back doing my first talk in eight years 🤘
writing a new talk for the first time in nearly a decade and i'm really off to a great start imo
I think Republicans are overestimating liberals' emotional attachment to Bill Clinton.
can't believe nas just dropped a track named "git ready" when he could have used "git init" instead
It’s amusing seeing all the “[project] is moving off of GitHub” posts on Hacker News lately. When I first started there, HN had near-constant “[project] is moving to GitHub!” posts. It’s the life of software. Improve or die.
Hella excited to be joining the ownership of Serie A’s Cagliari. Some real over-the-moon excitement for the club and for The Island. LFG!
i mean that’s not how this works but okay
zachholman.com decided to redo the blog for maybe the tenth time. turns out if you write every now and then and do it for over fifteen years that leads to a shit ton of posts, wowza. how did you all listen to me for so long?
Just finished up a two-month jury duty stint and I’m really realizing how much solo projects depend on inertia and motivation. You take a break and it takes ages to get back in the swing of things.
Added a free/busy calendar to Calendearing this morning: calendearing.com — so now you can have a more public calendar without any of your personal data visible.
1p has been parsing forms a lot worse over the years, and the existence of forced email 2fa has been super annoying
not very well
will check it!
that’s how i do
