I don't doubt the cost of context switching. However I also think there's noticeable value in time-boxing. If I split my day into 3 chunks of two hours, with each block allotted to one task/project, I end the day with a feeling of having made more progress, and I do, because I sense the limited time, and therefore execute more efficiently.

Wow! That's crazy. I wonder exactly how that went down.

Doesn’t explain it at all, really.

Presumably Stripe owned it before, now they don’t… or own some smaller portion (since it’s stated they’re an investor)

Likely either founders bought back a portion of the company, or Stripe relinquished ownership out of goodwill. Perhaps it was worth very little, I’m not familiar with it

Maybe Stripe gave it back partly out of goodwill. For Stripe to do something without the brothers would be to spend a lot to reinvent it anew. Not worth the effort probably. Indiehackers always struck me as pretty small for something like Stripe to own. As if Microsoft had the one single coffee shop somewhere in Manitoba.

Likely the most likely

And it doesn't talk back.

Oh how I don't miss working in an office. Avoiding work, overthinking things, and overbuilding.

It definitely looks easier than it is. You have to want it.
