The "software-eating-the-world" phenomenon has, in many ways, made us subservient to technology. We spend much of our time entering data into systems, reading / responding to emails, searching the web for information, coding software, etc. But I see a way out. 6/

As we enter 2025, the venture market presents a striking dichotomy: soaring valuations for hot AI companies vs. a highly challenged environment for everyone else, igniting debate around whether AI is fueling yet another bubble, and if so, to what extent. 2/

My brother @NateBoyer37 recently ran the Leadville 100, a 100-mile race up to 12,600 feet in CO. “Focus on what you can do in these next few steps,” Boyer had said. “The mountain won’t look like it’s getting any closer if you keep looking at it.” https://t.co/l5z2KuNyPm
