My app had only 20K users. No matter what I did, that number didn't budge. Until suddenly: I found a way to grow to 200K+ users in 1 month. With 2 devs and zero funding. The silver bullet? Theory of Constraints. 4 steps to feel limitless (or get damn close). 🧵in 11 tweets👇

One of the biggest reasons why confirmation bias exists is, we really don't like to get hurt!. If you really want to learn and improve, pay attention to the negative feedback. Crave the negative feedback.

Great advice I heard somewhere: . Play the game of life as it is, not the game you wish it was.

I have been a proponent of remote work / WFH for quite a while. But lately I've realized - you get a lot more collaborative work done when you're in the office. And if this research is correct, even single-person analytical work is better done in the office.

Don't be so focused on guarding your time, that you miss something that changes your life. Or as @signulll says: Life won't send a calendar invite.
i sent this screenshot from a steve jobs email to a friend & we ended up talking about how so many people plan so aggressively now that they leave no space for natural chaos. you ask someone when they’re free & they hit you with “september 15th.” months out. especially in nyc,

It's natural to be upset when the world doesn't turn out the way you want. Natural, but also insane.
@paraschopra I like this quote from Anthony D Mello (his book Awareness is one of the best books I've read). It's natural to be upset when the world doesn't turn out the way you want. Natural, but also insane.

Good reminder - there are always two paths. Don't get so focused on the task that you forget to smile.
We got these phone booths (a K6 from the 1930s, and a KX100 from the 1990s) for the @stripe lobby, as a reminder that there are always two paths in everything we make: something that elevates and makes you smile, or, well, whatever the thing on the right is.

Amazon now employs almost as many robots as humans. Incredible!. And look at that productivity growth per employee! . Who's to say AI won't do this for knowledge work?

Wow, the US becoming the world's biggest crude oil producer wasn't on my 2024 bingo card.

Aging kills 100K people per day - more than 2x the sum of all other causes of death combined.

Lab-grown chocolate?! . Thus begins the golden age of abundance.
Came for the lab grown meat, stayed for the all-you-can-eat chocolate bar.

Coding is the first killer use case of AI. And yet - 30% AI use leads to only 2.4% higher commits. Either quality isn't quantity or. some people just freed up a huge amount of their time, and haven't told their bosses.
Quite surprising that moving to 30% AI use raises quarterly commits by only 2.4%. Quantity isn't quality, I guess. Or is there a different explanation?

On the bright side, if you don't have a job, you might be able to pretend to work. All for the low daily price of $4-$7 per day.
Markets in everything - people in China are paying to pretend to work ($4-$7 per day). Aside: I'm sure this is cheaper than getting early-onset dementia, from sitting around with nothing to do

The number of graduate jobs went down by 25% in 2024. Don't expect this trend to reverse 😥.
So glad I'm not graduating from college right now, with my computer science degree.

And for the same reason, so has the use of the word "delve" in research papers.
I don't want to descend into this Affective Death Spiral, so let me just say two things:. 1. As an Indian, I absolutely think "delve" is a word that should reenter the mainstream (did it ever leave?). 2. It's clear that ChatGPT agrees.

For some strange reason (not), the use of the em dash has gone up on Reddit.
An easy to detect AI writing — or is it? . Hmm, something to "delve" into.
