A truly great co-founder is someone that always adds real value, takes true ownership of the outcome and the mistakes, and ... That you can count on to never ever quit, no matter what comes

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
There has never been anything like this. Trump and Vance look like children talking about accommodating Putin. Zelensky holds his ground and defends his nation… and the free world.

Mario Draghi barrels into European politicians and leaders for their inaction: "You say no to public debt. You say no to the single market. You say no to create a capital market union. You can't say no to everything...You ask me what's best to do…I don’t know, but do something"

@willahmed why doesn’t WHOOP support custom journal behaviours?

Surely with LLMs you could map these to behaviours of other users across the world still to help benchmarking if desired

There’s no two ways about it. This place is getting weirder. Not sure if that says more about X or about the world

Why doesn’t the UK have more startups? Capital is fixed, technical talent is world class, tax incentives are great, visas mostly fine, university IP problems seem like they’re getting fixed. Free healthcare and social security net in the UK is a huge advantage that should make it dramatically easier to start companies vs US. There’s probably still a lack of scale-up leadership/exec hires. But, by far, the biggest barrier is cultural. Our national psyche doesn’t celebrate entrepreneurs and we have an extreme culture of risk-aversion. A huge majority of smart technical young people in the UK aspire to be lawyers or consultants or work in finance. These are safe careers with prestigious brands that guarantee people a safe, middle class lifestyle. We need our brightest young people to aspire to take risk and create world changing companies and generate billions of pounds of wealth. We need to help them believe it’s possible.

Commenting for reach
Digging into soft skills development for techies. Since the topic was specifically introduced as 1-on-1 sessions with coaches and psychologists, I'm trying to gain as much expertise as possible to understand if the experience can be transferred to a solo one. My goal is to turn this into an app, and I need help with the scientific part. I understand that some aspects aren't transferable, but I'm sure some of them are. If you are (or know anyone who) somehow familiar with this topic, I'd love to hear your thoughts. It would help a lot. #buildinpublic #softskills
