one common thing I have always noticed in the kind of content that I consume and see other people love consuming, and the kind of products that I feel is wildly intuitive, is that, most of the times these creations are the results of founders/creators getting annoyed at their

Lately, as a developer, especially with the advent of agentic ai tools, there's no denying that the amount of "joy" in writing code at work has significantly gone down. I mean yes, we are more productive than ever, we have more power and time to build anything we want, but iykyk.

Adults- you have a moral responsibility to create holiday magic for the next generations. You are not too cool to dress up, or decorate or be silly. The wonder of childhood rests on your shoulders.

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

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
