I've been <report-spam + block>ing every single cold email over the past year and it's starting to pay off. I am no longer terrorized by my inbox. P.S. I only did that for emails that seem automated, not genuine humans reaching out.

What does one do with their lives after finishing Succession? Nothing will ever rise to that level of writing and acting again. And the freaking soundtrack…

Aren’t we done with the volume and speed propaganda yet? AI produces more, faster. So why don’t we take a beat and do things intentionally for a change? This doesn’t mean I don’t value experimentation or breaking analysis paralysis with action. But volume and speed as a

I talked to @eoghan about why you should be posting more: "Personally, you see every piece of content you post. And if you post a lot, it might feel like you're posting too much. But because of algorithmic feeds, no one else sees everything you post. So you can't assume

Omg today, Dec 11, I went back to a Twitter bookmark and actually used it. I'm also quite sure I wouldn't have found the post again had I not bookmarked it. This marks a historic day, 10 years after making my account.

An unexpected moat for big tech is tool fatigue. For example, there are so many research paper management tools out there that I'd like to try, each with exciting / niche / quirky features I want in my life. But the fear of spreading my reading list in 1000 (unsync'ed) places

How does GitHub still not have an "Ask Copilot (or whatever)" button? What are they doing there? It's not like they're too busy improving code search or figuring out how to handle binary files...

A good quote that ChatGPT chose for me today: "Creativity is the residue of time wasted." (Einstein) In the upcoming AI era, our worth will come from creativity instead of productivity. We'll have to fight the instincts we cultivated in the past grind era: the 996, the "need to

I think this is a brilliant observation from Lulu: people root for you when they think you deserve more than you've got, and root against you when it's the opposite. It captures an essential element of good comms...how can you help people think you're underrated rather than

As appreciated as it is, I think the power of storytelling is still somehow underrated. @lulumeservey has advised some of the best companies (with the best auras) on comms such as Anduril, Cognition, Ramp, and many others. I loved having Lulu on Uncapped. We talked about the

I fear 1 so much, even for myself. I was always a backend / ML person. I started building frontend 2-3 years ago, when Cursor had just launched. Typical story of a startup requiring you to wear multiple hats. But for the love of god, I still can't tell you how Node.js is

My biggest worries about coding with AI: 1. Beginners not actually learning 2. Atrophy of skills I’m seeing #1 happen and I don’t have a good answer yet. Leveling up as an engineer requires grinding and it’s not always fun. If AI can solve most of the problems for you, when

Tests like these restore my faith in humanity. The winning title is what I came up with. Boring but to the point and clickbait-free. The losing titles are what ChatGPT insisted would lead to much much higher engagement.
