    The hills we’ll die on

    In this era of hot takes loosely held, we each reveal the hills we’re willing to die on. Helen defends advertising as the perfect business model, Angela says the maths never really math (so throw out your spreadsheets), and Ashley insists you only lose when you try to play someone else’s game. Plus: the Anthropic narrative shift, everyone loves Bret Taylor, and so long Tim Apple (hello Johnny Appleseed?). Mercury is back as the headline sponsor for year two of Great Chat.

    Developer marketing when everyone is a developer

    When everyone is a developer, what does developer marketing even mean? This week on Great Chat, we're joined by developer relations expert Matt Palmer to discuss developer marketing and the eternal question of what's cool in San Francisco.

    OpenAI's new media M&A and old media exposé

    In the wake of its historic $122B fundraise, OpenAI just wrapped one of the crazier weeks in news, but we couldn't miss the chance to zero in on its surprise acquisition of new media darling TBPN. We asked Alexia Bonatsos, early stage investor and former editor of TechCrunch (a new media darling from a prior era), to join the chat. Plus: Is Medvi a shining new example of company building, or a business milkshake duck? And what's the deal with VC firms removing controversial startup logos from their websites (cough, Delve)?

    Go touch some grass (but don’t tweet about it)

    So we all survived Q1—barely. When the world gets crazy, how do you stay sane? Spoiler alert: we don’t have any answers, but we have lots of hot takes. Plus: Mac opens a factory and schools us on submarine life, we wonder if anyone has reached Goldilocks status of being just the right amount online (not us), and it turns out AI may not have the polarizing effects of social media—we love a narrative violation.

    Bubble talk

    We’re hearing the B word a lot more lately, and while it’s clear there’s a valuation bubble, we’re not betting on a correction just yet. Plus: OpenAI trades its “you can just do things” era for focus (RIP Sora and assorted side quests), Emil Michael shows us what it means to hold a grudge, and we Delve into the latest alleged bad behavior in startupland.

    Are startup HR teams okay?

    With all this talk of looming layoffs and AI automation, we have to wonder: what’s the People/HR world like these days? Emily Herron, a longtime startup People leader and current HR Evangelist at Rippling, joined the chat to share her refreshingly candid and pragmatic POV. Plus: Travis Kalanick is back, baby, with the perfect narrative-moment fit. Meanwhile, Marc Andreessen breaks the internet with his latest hot take: the Great Men of history weren’t introspective.

    What comes after the Girl Boss?

    Inspired by International Women’s Day, we reflect on the different narratives for women in tech over the past few decades. From Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In to the rise (and fall) of the Girl Boss to…whatever this moment is? We break down what’s actually helpful to women, and what’s just performative. Plus: Microsoft enters the chat with Copilot Cowork (say that ten times fast), Anthropic strikes back with a lawsuit against the Department of War, and Cluely’s latest stunt feels so 2025.

    Will empathy make a comeback?

    AI makes a lot of things easier, but reading the room is not one of them. On this week's Great Chat, we discuss how this moment feels different from 2020 and 2008, and debate whether we will see a return to empathy from our tech leaders. How do you lead when no one knows what will happen next? It seems everyone could benefit from taking a deep breath right now. Plus, why Katy Perry is trending again, narrative violations by Cursor, and some awful analogies that remind us that the current moment doesn't fit neatly into past frameworks.
