                            • Episode 285: "Work is Punishment"

                              This week, we discuss Googler’s ideas for making open source more secure, obsessing over top of funnel influencer lifestyle management, and a bit of surfing. The power at Brandon’s house went out just as we were starting, so it’s mostly just Matt and Coté.

                              Mood board:

                              I have three screens. I have enough screen space.

                              I don’t need my shit moved, I moved my own shit.
                              This direct shit.

                              I think about this every day “Work is punishment.”
                              We’ll skip the Brandon things and get to the Cote’ things.
