Youโ€™re shipping features, running experiments, and tracking dashboards full of data, but still wondering: Is any of this actually moving the needle? The data is sobering: Only 10-30% of shipped features create measurable business impact. Thatโ€™s the messy middle: the gap between

We're developing AI at @DoubleLoopApp to help product teams predict and quantify the impact of their bets before committing resources. Here's a 5-min demo. Would love your thoughts.

This weekโ€™s Cyb3rSyn Newsletter summarizes the key highlights of the inaugural Cyb3rSyn Labs Podcast episode - my conversation with @danielfschmidt, the Founder of DoubleLoop. I wanted the first episode of the Cyb3rSyn Labs Podcast to be at the intersection of the ideas that we

8/ With AI reducing the friction of acquiring domain knowledge, the gap between wanting a system to work better and building it is shrinking. Passion and vision are still critical, but the barriers for inside-out neophytes to execute are lowerโ€”and falling every day.

7/ Iโ€™m biased, but I believe the advantage increasingly goes to inside-out neophytes thanks to LLMs . Conversing with AI has helped me advance up the data science learning curve faster than I ever could have before. Without it, DoubleLoop might not exist today.

6/ Stripeโ€™s founders are great examples of inside-out neophytes. As developers, they faced firsthand the frustration of clunky payment systems while building other projects. They knew how they wanted payments to work but hadnโ€™t implemented a system before Stripe.

5/ This made me realize there are two forms of neophyte naivete: 1๏ธโƒฃ Inside-out neophytes: They know the results they want but are ignorant about the inner workings of the system. 2๏ธโƒฃ Outside-in neophytes: They are system experts but lack an external perspective or awareness of

4/ I oscillate between two thoughts: Iโ€™m the perfect person to solve these problems because I know exactly what I want the output to be. Iโ€™m an imposter because I've never worked as a data scientist.

3/ I want this argument to be true because I often feel like a neophyte while building DoubleLoop. DoubleLoop started as a product management tool, but helping PMs maximize impact led us to solving data science problems. Today, many of our most important users are data

2/ Classic examples of neophyte founders include: Airbnb: Redefined hospitality despite no prior experience in the industry. Uber: Disrupted transportation without a background in logistics.

1/ Do you agree with the idea that neophytes are the best people to found companies? The argument is that individuals with less domain experience are uniquely positioned to revolutionize an industry because theyโ€™re not constrained by conventional thinking. ๐Ÿงต

.@MarkHalperin has become my most relied upon honest broker of what's happening in the US political system. For example: "There's one group of Americans who believe that Donald Trump and the dominant media have 'defined deviancy down,' meaning he does things that would normally

Tech leaders who are vocally supporting Trump for president are gaslighting the public in the same way that they accused the left of gaslighting the public about Biden.

I listened to @elonmusk 's interview with @realDonaldTrump last night. It was disappointing that it was only marginally different than any other interview or press conference that I've heard Trump do.
