How is Patrick real? He has time to build the most successful B2B company of his generation (with accelerating growth!) while thinking deeply about how to improve society’s aesthetics. If I hadn’t met him before I would be convinced there was some trick. He’s just that guy. https://t.co/P8cFKhNDio

Meeting with @vijayeraji and the (former) @statsig team at OpenAI’s Seattle office today. It’s the first time we’re all meeting together in person. It’s uncanny how similar the approaches to product and company building are. It’s an honor to continue their work at @Amplitude_HQ! https://t.co/DB1GWgjbL2
