I have nothing that I’m worried about in particular, but I started tweeting in I believe it was 2009, so we’re talking 13 years. That’s just not really who I am so I’ve always been careful. That’s not how I built my personality or my brand. I think, you know what, I don’t say controversial things in general, that’s just not that’s not my bag. There’s a big pile on because it’s Twitter, of course, and there’s a certain group of people who kind of just want to be angry about stuff all the time.Īnyway, I’ve sat, watched these, and kind of listened to. They go back through his tweets and they just roast this guy. Who built the version that’s popular right now, it’s actually from some game show in the ’70s or the ’80s.Īnyway, this guy builds a copy and there’s this big hubbub. Is there a web version? I don’t play Wordle, I don’t know. Wordle wasn’t even original to the guy who built the web. The most recent one was someone built a copy of Wordle on iOS and just duplicated it. There are all different types of things that can happen. Then of course, in the past three months, I’ve seen this happen twice to notable people where someone just comes back through and says something, well, that’s not really what I meant or cultural norms have changed. When he said it I was like yeah, I guess it could happen but it feels a little overly paranoid.

I said, why do you do that? He said people will go back through your tweets, they’ll go back 10 years, 12 years, and they’ll dig something up like quoted out of context, basically. They set up a service that recurring go back x months and just deletes anything before that in their account. The reason I’m telling all these stories is that a couple of friends of mine over the past year or so have started deleting old tweets and I didn’t really understand that. We had a database backup and refreshed it. Why is this going? About 10 seconds in I’m like oh, good Lord, how do I cancel this command? Of course, it’s already done tens of thousands of rows of damage. I did that to the order’s table or the order in progress table or something, and it’s just the worst feeling because I hit this update, I forgot to say which row to update, and it’s taking way longer than I think it should to execute. We had built a custom ecommerce shopping cart and the whole website was all custom. I remember that feeling when I did that, I did it to an ecommerce website back in, it must have been 2001. Maybe it was the Stripe customer ID that allowed us to charge it, it was easily fixed, and we lost no data.

We didn’t even store the full credit card.

Basically, I think it had overwritten all the credit card numbers in the table or something like that. I think we had a hundred customers at the time so it would have been bad but not the end of the world. He had done something like that where I think he forgot the WHERE clause, it was in the credit card table. He said do we have a backup of the database? I said yes, we have a backup. I said uh oh, that’s how I answered it, and it was Derek just sweating bullets. If someone calls me, I consider that they are being held hostage in an overseas prison somewhere or that something’s on fire, their house or our servers are on fire.

Sunday night, my phone rings, the first problem is we didn’t call each other, it’s all texting. It also reminds me of the time, Derek will be fine with me sharing this, but this is probably 2014, maybe even late 2013, we’re like a year into Drip.

It goes under #toosoon, but it reminds me of those times where if you have written a database query, and you forgot the WHERE clause, where you write, update this column in the database to XYZ, then you forget to hit WHERE, you submit that clause, and you wipe out a whole column in a table and you have to go back to a backup. There are first stories that still kind of pain me. I’m going to talk through a couple of listener questions, tell a story or two to kick us off. We do this for freedom, purpose, and relationships. This is a show for ambitious startup founders who want to grow incredible companies and maybe not change the whole world, but just our little corner of it.
