Please do! I'm just about to buy the book :)

Agreed that the title is clickbait, but it's also quite clever.

And completely consistent with its subject matter.

Honestly, not surprising! The unit economics of services like Sprig (and, to a lesser extent, DoorDash) are horrifyingly bad. If you've ever thought about starting a delivery service, this is a worthwhile read. They predicted Sprig's demise last year: https://medium.com/@review/the-food-delivery-death-star-85f9...

It is a good read, thanks for sharing.

While I can't vouch for anything beyond Just Kids (which is spectacular), here are some other ferociously good reads on the lives of artists:

* Ernest Hemingway - A moveable feast

* David Lipsky - Of course you end up becoming yourself

* David Sylvester - Interviews with Francis Bacon

It's not supply. It's speculation.

>From 2000 to 2010, the population of New York increased by 2.1 percent while the US Census reported that the number of occupied housing units increased by more than twice that amount, 5.3 percent. . . . If we could build our way out of our affordability crisis, the ratio of housing costs to income should have gone down during this period. However, average rents and the share of income spent on rent both increased well above inflation over the same period. [0]

What skills does Biz have exactly? It always seemed like Ev was a product genius, Jack was the business brains, but Biz?

Cool name. "The Biz is back, baby"

LOL. Have you seen Twitters business. Seems like it's pretty clear where the drag is.

$40/post seems pretty low-end, no?

We are still testing out pricing, but for now this seems to strike a good balance for the types of customers we get, mostly small product builders with one or two people.

We automate a lot of stuff to help lower costs for our writers and we have writers on staff from our agency that fill in the gaps and do editing.

Or Montreal!

Never been, but I would assume it's an amazing place. I would love to visit someday :)

Want to develop a HN for writers with me?

For anyone curious, here's a comparison of the signed-out, signed-in, and "members" signed-in homepage:

Instead of a feed of stories (recommended by people you follow) you get them in a grid layout.

Worth $5? Hell no. If I was paying for design, I'd pay it to the folks at theoutline.com (nicest media site by miles and miles). However, there are great writers on Medium and they deserve to be supported. Take my money.
