[2025-09-05 Fri 05:07] Every mid startup gets the same exciting new chapter
Waiting for coffee.
Email from The Browser Company, the folks who make Arc. Opening line “An Exciting New Chapter”
Ah, they’re being acquired.
Two lines later: “The Browser Company of New York has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Atlassian.”
groggy lol
Newsletter’s not live on their substack or whatever it is yet, but here’s a tweet: X
Today, The Browser Company of New York is entering into an agreement to be acquired by Atlassian for $610M in an all-cash transaction. We will operate independently, with Dia as our focus. Our objective is to bring Dia to the masses.
But hey Arc fans, according to the newsletter “Arc and Arc Search will continue to exist.” That’s not exactly inspirational phrasing, no.
[2025-09-05 Fri 22:44] I am getting rained on, across the street is dry
weather lessons I have learned
- California coast
- “Don’t like the weather? Wait ten minutes.”
- Sonoran desert
- “Don’t like the weather? Move ten feet over.”
- Puget Sound
- “Don’t like the weather? Too bad.”
Meanwhile…
I’ll start playing with some utility class or other total reset framework, hit a line like “You can create a Bulma table simply by attaching a single table CSS class on a <table> HTML element with the following structure,” and close every browser tab in a rage.
