The culture document written by @bhorowitz that every a16z new hire signs:
“We are dream builders. We’re not dream killers.” Ben Horowitz on a16z's written culture that forbids publicly attacking founders or startups: “We have a culture that is written culture... You cannot join the firm unless you sign the culture document that says you'll adhere to this culture.” “Our whole point is, if you want to do something larger than yourself and make the world a better place, we are a hundred percent for it.” @bhorowitz @packyM

Full prompt for this since Twitter deleted the prompt in ALT last time: 1960s street style fashion photo capturing a gorgeous 30-year-old woman with long brown hair, slightly blush cheeks, and a sly grin walking confidently on a bright spring morning in TriBeCa. She's wearing a stunning white lace Gucci gown with a full tulle skirt, intricate lace detailing, long lace sleeves, a high collar, and a fitted bodice adorned with delicate floral appliques. The soft lighting and careful composition emphasize the dreamy and romantic elegance of the gown. --ar 17:22
