I have been EXTREMELY lucky when it comes to my youtube channel, when it comes to the amount of love I receive from people everyday, and I cannot be grateful enough for that. ESPECIALLY given all the flaws that I have. 1. The ridiculously poor video editing and camera angle.

anthropic's go-to-market feels like they're doing something novel that cuts against the received wisdom on dev-first companies. worth unpacking because it might be a template for how frontier AI companies actually scale. the standard dev-first playbook (stripe, twilio, aws in

I have seen partners at the top Valley funds who pick companies at Series A primarily because of the brand pull it would give them with other founders. Not because of the TAM, or the team pedigree, or even the metrics. The signal value. No body really unpacks the kingmaker

Apparently everyone's calling themselves a "product engineer" these days. Basically someone who writes code but also understands users, thinks about features, cares about the whole product experience. It's a good evolution honestly. We spent too many years with engineers who just

with books unread, muscles untrained, and thousands of skills untouched - if you're bored you aren't even trying

spent the last three months going down the book formatting rabbit hole, the technical complexity here needs to be discussed more. if you want to preserve your sanity, just use vellum or atticus and call it a day but i wanted to understand what's actually happening under the hood

I need at least two rabbit holes open at all times or I start feeling off. Like genuinely uncomfortable. rabbit holes, they create this specific cognitive state that regular work or hobbies don't. When you're in one, you're following pure curiosity with no immediate outcome

We've made research feel like something that only happens in universities or companies. Like you need a PhD or a lab coat or a grant to be doing "real" research. But that's not what research actually is. Research is just systematic curiosity. It's when you notice something

The act of research cannot be looked at as this linear thing where you have a question, design an experiment, get results, and publish. The real joy comes from being confused. Not the frustrated kind of confusion, but the kind where you're staring at data that doesn't make sense

I'm starting a new channel to break down venture capital, startups, funding rounds, governance, and a million things surrounding it. This is the same approach I took with my backend from first principles series where we tackled every single thing from ground up. I want to

We as engineers think understanding the business side is optional. It's not. A lot of talented devs get blindsided when their startup runs out of runway. They had no idea what a Series A even meant until the layoffs started. That's a problem. You don't need an MBA, but you

Education should expand a child’s world, not shrink it to the size of a classroom. The more freedom we give them to learn on their own time, the more excellence naturally follows.

Powerful frame of looking at life is that everyone is getting exactly what they want out of life, they’re just in denial about what they truly, deeply want

I thought I was a moron to fall for the flipkart’s iphone sale but turns out there are thousands out there stuck with the delivery like me, it's just a total mess leaving people pissed off and empty-handed. People grabbed what seemed like amazing deals, only for orders to get

Hmmm

one of the hardest parts about devtools is even if someone finds your product interesting it might be months before they can try it on something so you have to stay relevant every week every company is oriented around infrequent big boom marketing events - doesn't work

reminder that you genuinely have to take this attitude to have any success If you actually desire you will take action. No action, no desire.

A young entrepreneur in his mid-20s just emailed me asking for some $$$ advice. He just sold a business and ended up with a couple million in liquid cash. He wanted to know if he should invest it, use it to build a new company, or do something else with it. My advice wasn't

Petition that either xAI's Grok or Groq must change their name. Or either one of then comes out with a weird way to pronounce their name. "It's actually grouche" or something
