Been seeing a lot of print-out ads around town for Corgi, an incredibly sketchy-looking AI insurance start-up. Looked them up and immediately found this incredible LinkedIn post from their PR guy:

there's one thing every Corgi (YC S24) employee gets as a welcome gift.
every employee gets a full size mattress for the office (preferably from Costco Wholesale) with their offer letter. we work hard and sleep in the office because we're producing some of the most meaningful work that is happening right now.
the mattress comes in clutch when you don't want to walk or bus back home at 4am. it's also pretty nice having zero commute the next morning.

p.s. reach out only if you're cracked, down to work 7 days, and ready to build a generational company

This industry really is going to the dogs.

"preferably from Costco wholesale" makes it read like parody. And "reach out only if you're cracked" sounds like he accidentally posted what he was thinking...

(internet informs me it's used to mean "good at things", these days, but have literally never heard it used that way; round here it's short for "cracked in the head")

(I've heard it a lot, but it's definitely a gamer slang term that went mainstream only with kids. Think it actually either came from 'crack shot' or Apex Legends, but I've always read it as 'this guy's on crack.')
