Here's this week's startup news:
$57k revenue for Nick
Designer Nick Buzz shared his September revenue info and it's pretty incredible! $57k across three different income streams. After I saw a lot of criticism of revenue stat sharing it's interesting to see Nick sharing his profit margin as well.

Twitter doesn't want your links
It may be obvious but Musk really doesn't want you to share links on Twitter - at the least, the algo will show posts with links to less people. It's something a lot of us have suspected for a while but now it's been confirmed. Oh and it's always best to upload videos directly to Twitter instead of posting a Loom/YouTube:

Rails documentary
Ruby on Rails was invited by DHH of 37 Signals/Basecamp fame. Now he's been featured in a documentary about the early days of Rails featuring other important industry figureheads like Tobi Lutke who created Shopify using Rails. RoR now powers a lot of indie startups from ConvertKit to Bannerbear.

Job board directory makes $1,328 in September
A good month for Rodrigo, whose dead-simple but profitable directory of job boards made $1,328 for him in September.
It's literally just a list of places where you can find jobs.
Of course, lots of people are looking for jobs, especially now, so it's a smart website to have made.
You can read an interview I did with Rodrigo here:

Stripe is publishing Poor Charlie's Almanack
This book features the wisdom of Charlie Munger, the right-hand man and business partner of William Buffett.
It usually costs over $100 and it's one of Courtland Allen's favorite reads!
But now Stripe are producing a hardback version of this book for a much more reasonable price of $30.
