Marvel kinda missed the mark by not having great cartoon material the past 15-20. These kids’ knowledge, through Teen Titans, is DEEP. 110

drew dillon @drewdil.bsky.social · 22/05/2025This is the single oldest story in the history of tech (maybe all) acquisitions: 1. Company is valuable because they work w/multiple providers. 2. Company gets bought by Provider. 3. Acquisition value decreases as Company eventually supports only Provider. Over and over until we die. 000

drew dillon @drewdil.bsky.social · 27/03/2025Was working for a copyright expert/legal tech founder 18 months ago and asked about this, “Oh, copyright’s fucked.” He teaches case law on Garfield’s Odie. The definition is pretty narrow. AI can create infinite derivative works up to and over the line of violation. Our courts can’t handle it. 000

drew dillon @drewdil.bsky.social · 07/02/2025Apropos of nothing, the government doesn’t have like one checking account. Not spending money in one area doesn’t make the money go back into some big pot. As a fed employee friend said, “Congress didn’t like my travel budget, but the money doesn’t go away. So I just redid my office.” 000

drew dillon @drewdil.bsky.social · 11/01/2025Survey apps are bizarrely expensive and engineers always told me it's hard to make visual form builders. So I built one using Cursor. v1 took two nights. It has dark mode, 15 field types, two different surveying modalities and, oh yeah, forms are generated by telling the AI your research goals. 110
