there was kind of a lot of conversations around like, well, like what would it become under like different conversations? And the Yahoo one was really interesting. And I would admit to being like pretty unaware of what they were doing beyond like, I was still using Yahoo Finance and like my fantasy football league. Um, but beyond that, it was like not familiar what they were doing.

They were like, no, no, we want to take it. And we think in two months we can relaunch it as Yahoo news. And I was thinking like, that sounds pretty crazy. Like that's a very short timeline for like, and a code base you're not familiar with. And they had our access to us and like, we were basically like helping them out almost full time, but that's still a lot.

And, uh, they actually basically pulled it off. I think it was 10 weeks instead of eight, eight weeks. But I think there is like a newfound energy in there to be like, all right, like what are the properties we want to build back up again and and do it. So I fully admit coming in with a bit of a bias. Like, I don't know what's left at Yahoo. Like, what's going to happen here?

And then the tech team's actually bit into it with the open mouth. It's kind of a gross metaphor. But they went all in. And then they got it shipped. And I'll routinely text. So Justin was our Android lead. He's at Anthropic now. He actually came here before I did. And I'll find little details. And he's like, oh, they kept.

I spent a lot of time with this 3D spinning animation when you got to a new reading level. It's way too much time when this like, beautiful reflection, specular highlighting thing. It's probably misprioritized that week, but they kept it. But now it goes, yeah, when you do it, I was like, that's pretty on brand. It was a really fascinating experience, but it gets to live on.

And I think it will probably have a very different future than what we were envisioning. But I think some of the core ideas are there on like, hey, what would it mean to actually try to create a personalized news system that was really decoupled from any kind of existing follow graph or what you were seeing already on something like Facebook.

It was this optimization function. I would say the three variables were like, like deal was attractive or attractive enough. Our personal commitments post, you know, transition were, were pretty light, which I liked. And they had reached like Yahoo news because like a hundred million monthly still. So it was like reach minimal commitment, but enough that we felt like it could be successful.
