Scrolling Bugs, Pursuing Optimization, and Number Go Up is Good

Dax went to hell and back for a scrolling bug, what do we lose in the pursuit of optimization at all costs, what kind of business do we want to build, Adam is definitely AI, Twitter drama over commit hooks, Adam hates pyramids and thinks they're stupid, and Adam tries meditation but as a result his brain doesn't work for podcasting.

What else might Adam do to let us all down do you suppose? Maybe he doesn't actually like coffee? Maybe he's actually AI after all? Please click here to tweet at Adam and let him know how disappointed you are in him being an AI bot that kills baby seals for fun.
