Every conversation about performance metrics turns into a conversation about process. It's inevitable... "Revenue is down 12%..." → "Okay, but how does the sales process actually work? Where are deals stalling? Have we changed any inputs (volume, quality, etc)?"

Lucid, Miro, Whimsical built their products around speed-to-diagram. But speed is table stakes in the era of MCPs... Plus, operational clarity is not solved by generating process docs faster. Instead, operators are looking for process docs that give the following:

It doesn't matter if it takes years. What the fuck else are you going to do? You aren't going to learn, create, experiment, grow, and everything that makes life enjoyable because you have something better to be doing? Your mind is playing tricks on you.

Write down how your processes work today, or should work tomorrow and you have tremendous power. Use @puzzleapp_io to do it

Teams shouldn’t have to rebuild the same process map three times — once for documentation, again for client review, and again for internal training. But that’s exactly what happens when every version requires recreating the same steps to show a different slice of the same flow.

ELON ON FSD: MOST PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT’S ABOUT TO HAPPEN “Almost the entire fleet, which will pass 10 million vehicles next year, is capable of full autonomy. So, even without the Cybercab, we still actually have a gigantic fleet that is capable of being autonomous. And the thing about being an autonomous car is that it can be used much more than a car that is not autonomous. A typical passenger vehicle car will be used about 10 hours a week. If you have a car that's a robot car that can drive autonomously, it can now be used potentially for 80, maybe 100 hours a week. So, you could have a car that has 10 times the usefulness of a non-autonomous car, but it still costs the same. In fact, the fleet is already built, so the software update just enables that capability. Overnight you have an increase in usefulness of 10 million cars that suddenly become like 50 million cars or maybe 80 or 100 million cars of usefulness overnight. That's a profound thing. Nothing like that has ever happened before. There is no analogy. There's never been something where a software update increase the value of a gigantic asset base by a factor of like 500 to 1000%. So, it's very difficult for people in the stock market, especially those that look in the rearview mirror, which is most people, to imagine a future where suddenly a 10 million vehicle fleet has 5 to 10 times the usefulness. It's so profound and there's no comparison with anything in the past, so it doesn’t compute. But it will compute in the future.” Source: Tesla All-Hands, March 2025

Being kind boosts mental health more than seeking joy. Evidence: Doing 3 random acts of kindness a week is enough to reduce depression, anxiety & loneliness. It's more beneficial than doing nice things for yourself. Self-care feels good, but generosity builds lasting bonds.

A cup of coffee helps me do things I don't like doing.

Significant progress in AI and Robotics this week. So, I summarized everything from xAI, Perplexity, Hugging Face, Figure, OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Daxo Robotics, UC Berkeley, and more. Here's everything you need to know and how to make sense out of it:

"Would’ve 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 if I had Puzzle back in my RevOps days." Too many teams are still wasting time aligning sales, marketing, and CS—without the full picture. Puzzle fixes that — with powerful diagrams that help you transform xfn workflows.
