My team has been told we need to set “AI‑related goals” and start using internal tools that aren’t all that great. I’m not anti‑AI—I love Copilot for small coding tasks—but a lot of these mandates feel like doing AI for the sake of it. Which tools have legitimately improved your workflow? Have you run into company policies that block access to external models because of IP concerns? How do you push back when management wants metrics that don’t line up with how the work actually gets done?

About to start a new job at a start up where I got 20,000 options at ~2.50 strike price, company valuation of a ~$1B. My back of envelope math had future value at around $150-200K after 4 years assuming 4-5X growth. Anyone have any good start up option stories to fuel my optimism?

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

How do you invest and save for your children? I’m thinking about setting them up with custodial brokerage accounts but don’t want them to have a heyday at 18. Did you create irrevocable trusts or??
