ok so. morgan chen. Scaffold is the company Devon and I started -- developer data plumbing, basically. customers create a workspace, connect their data sources, keep them synced, then use the data through our APIs and connectors. mission apartment, kibo shedding on everything. idk, useful to say it plainly once. 2 year...

Q1 all-hands first thing. Need the spine pretty plain: Feb B round if it comes together, Q3 is the real push, and don't get weird on hiring before that. probably say we shipped a lot in Q4 without pretending it felt clean. Devon and I should tighten the numbers slide before 11.

Back from all-hands. Team seemed fine. Need to follow up on the support rotation doc and get the hiring req cleaned up this week. Also want the Q4 ship list tightened a bit -- a couple things sounded fuzzier out loud than they looked in the deck.

first day back was... fine, actually. not bad. office felt weirdly normal by like 10:30 and then suddenly it was 6. jamie's home late again so i'm eating leftover curry with kibo staring at me like i personally wronged him

out on the Embarcadero. cold enough my hands were useless for the first 10 min. super clear though, bay looked fake. head's a little less noisy now. grabbing Blue Bottle on the way back

2023-01-11T09:30:00-08:00
ok so i'm gonna try 16:8 again this month. aspirationally. saying that while holding a Blue Bottle cortado at 9:30 is maybe not the cleanest start but whatever

Acme dashboard dragged again when I pulled it up just now. Loaded eventually, nothing on fire, but it was slow enough to notice. Leaving it for the moment.

ok so deck spine is still mushy. i don't think lead with growth by itself works unless it's very specific -- net new ARR + expansion in the same frame, otherwise it reads like top-of-funnel vanity and every Series B person has seen that movie. retention probably has to do more work than i'm comfortable with. not logo-r...

Week's basically deck first, then the two customer calls without letting those blow up the whole middle of the day. Need an hour with Devon on hiring too -- mostly scope check, not opening five reqs because we had one decent week. probably Blue Bottle and straight into slides.

Morgan Chen
000029
2023-01-16T11:00:00-08:00
Keep coming back to the same thing on the 2 eng hires. If we open reqs now, great candidates are actually on market right now and I'd rather not be cute about timing. But I also don't want to cram 2 new people into a 12-person team, miss on onboarding, then be explaining burn in every raise convo for the next 6 months...

Just got off with the billing team at the customer. Mostly good -- integration's working, a couple minor annoyances but nothing on fire. Logged one ask for invoice-level webhook retries so failed events can be replayed without support touching it.

yeah. post-Devon i think we finally have the spine. not "growth" in the abstract -- net new ARR, expansion, and payback all in one line so the unit econ is carrying its weight instead of hiding in an appendix. if we open with pipeline or logo count we deserve to get dinged. also batched the first investor intros instea...

2023-01-19T10:00:00-08:00
Went through the list Devon sent. About 15 names. Split it into maybe / probably / skip and pushed notes back on each. A few are obvious no's -- too late-stage or they'll want a cleaner growth story than we have right now. 3 feel actually worth time.

Need the read on Acme billing this morning. I saw a ~4h hole in the dashboard, then it backfilled. Figure out what actually happened and drop it in the thread -- timestamps, whether this was ingest vs render, and if anyone touched the job. Not escalating, not emailing them. Just want the facts in one place.

Marcus 1:1 was good. he's thinking way harder about the on-call rotation than I even asked for, in a good way. had notes on handoff gaps and where we keep making the same pager mistake at like 2am... which, yeah. not making a big speech about it but he's really settling in

Acme had another little wobble. Customer-facing rate limit thing for maybe 15 min, then cleared once they fixed it on their side. Logged it with the timestamps. No note out.

Devon can you review deck v2 tonight. Need another pass on the chart choices -- still too easy for this to read like we backed into the story, and I want that cleaned up before we send anything wider.

Stop putting vendor calls on Fridays. Keep Fridays light unless it's a real emergency -- I need room for the team stuff that always spills there, and random sales-y meetings just wreck the day.

slack is still litigating the espresso machine at 9pm lol. just watched my phone light up with "flush first" vs "stop touching the pressure valve" like anyone's opening a cafe in there. i'm laughing and also fully expect to read 18 more messages before bed

Acme had another small thing this morning. nothing huge, just enough to be annoying again. I wrote down the timestamps in my notes -- third recent one by my count now. keep an eye. if support pings anything that smells related, tag me before it gets rounded down to "transient".

ok so B stuff is finally in a real state. deck v2 is decent now, not done-done but the story tracks and the ugly chart problems are mostly down to 2 slides instead of 8. Devon's notes helped. i've got ~8 intro calls booked for early Feb, mostly where i wanted them, and the lead-firm meeting is locked for week 2. still ...

Jake circled back on Discord. again. lol. I just stared at it over a Blue Bottle cortado like... man. we're trying to raise. not doing the whole 'yes customers, your infra vendor runs on Discord now' thing

Put a hold note on the JD draft. Not closing it, not posting it. Something like: we're pausing this search until post-raise and will reopen if the headcount line still makes sense at 14. I don't want the old version floating around like it's active -- that's how this stuff lingers.

Embarcadero finally dried out enough to run without eating it on the slick parts. weirdly warm for February. legs felt good today. grabbed Blue Bottle after and Kibo is now acting like I abandoned him personally

DolphinBench

DolphinBench measures whether an agent can use long-term memory to take the right actions on a user's behalf. It contains three synthetic users, approximately 500,000 tokens of history per user, and 600 tool-using tests across their work and personal lives.

The benchmark grades the actions an agent takes through simulated apps, not just what it says it remembers.

Load the dataset

from datasets import load_dataset

messages = load_dataset("mem0ai/dolphinbench")
facts = load_dataset("mem0ai/dolphinbench", "facts")
tests = load_dataset("mem0ai/dolphinbench", "tests")

Contents

Configuration Rows Contents
messages 13,539 Dated conversation history for each synthetic user.
facts 1,058 Information established by the histories and the messages that establish it.
tests 600 Task requests, required facts, expected tools, app state, and grading checks.

The grading, app_state, and shared_app_state columns contain JSON. The complete benchmark runner, simulated apps, and release validation are maintained in the DolphinBench GitHub repository.

Intended use

DolphinBench is evaluation data for comparing agent harnesses, models, and memory systems. Do not train on its histories, facts, tests, or grading criteria if you intend to report DolphinBench results.

All people, organizations, conversations, and app states in the dataset are synthetic.
