You Never Know When You've Had a Good Day
Many years ago, when I had just started working at USV, I remember there was kind of a complicated situation that unfolded in a seemingly bad way, and I'll never forget what Brad said in response. He said:you never know when you've had a good dayI didn't really understand what that meant, so he told me a story that went something like: back around the year 2000 at the height of the dot-com boom, there was a guy who was a senior exec at a successful startup.

Sometimes, an answer to a hard problem is so simple and elegant that you're surprised it wasn't obvious earlier. Two Screens for Teachers is one of those answers.
Even though vaccines are on the way, many students and teachers will be interacting remotely at least through the rest of this school year.

Two Screens for Teachers is being organized by my old friend Matt Lerner, the former CTO of WalkScore.
It's a beautiful project and I'm donating now, and I'd encourage you to do the same if you can.
