this is too epic not to pin

The only truly wasted time is time spent wishing you were somewhere else.

Really important advice for aspiring founders to internalize: “The way to get the very best startup ideas is not to look for startup ideas. If you're consciously looking for startup ideas, it will make you too conservative. You'll lop off the outliers. Because the very best startup ideas tend to sound so lame, at first, that you'd reject them if you were consciously looking for startup ideas…” “…So how do you find startup ideas without looking for them? By working on projects with your friends. That's where the very best startups come from. Initially they're not even meant to be companies. They're just something people built because they thought it would be cool”

claude managed agents for X?? ACP?? if you squint it looks like linkedin you can train your agents too but then it's going to be like, where does the data go? and if you have a neutral third party that securely runs the agents (like amazon bedrock) this might be a thing

4 years away lol

omg brilliant! it's like the social media posts transformed into an app

kinda wild. a million times better? i'd love to see them in action

life update I'm building a tool that lets me recreate all my physical sketchbooks digitally!! Still in progress but here's me recreating one of my favourite multipurpose sketchbooks live :>>

confession: i am getting more interested in per-task economics than software categories. show me: - cost before - cost after - error rate - human escalation rate - who loses budget if this works “ai for finance” means nothing. $14.80 → $1.90 per completed review means something.

.@danawhite says one of the keys to longevity is to block out all negativity: “There's this Bruce Lee quote where he says, ‘Never say negative things about yourself or what you're working on even if you're joking, because your body doesn't know the difference.’” “I never take in any negativity.” “It never even crosses my mind that something's not going to work. I just keep going until it does work.”

We went from 0 to 2,200 paying customers in under a year by following @ycombinator's 15 rules: 1/ Do things that don't scale. Get your first 10 customers by hand. 2/ Launch now, not when it's "ready". A mediocre product in front of real users teaches you more in a week than 6 months of polishing in the dark. 3/ Charge from day one. If nobody will pay, you don't have a startup, you have a hobby. 4/ Talk to users every single day. The roadmap you need is sitting in your customers' heads, and they'll hand it to you for free 5/ Always hunt the 90/10 solution. For almost any feature there's a way to capture 90% of the value with 10% of the effort. 6/ There are only two real jobs: write code and talk to users. Everything else (conferences, press, VC coffees, corp dev calls) is fake work. 7/ You pick your customers as much as they pick you. 10 users who love you beat 1,000 who kind of like you. 8/ Growth is an output, not a strategy. Grow before product market fit and all you're buying is churn. 9/ Do less, really well. Pick one or two metrics and judge every task against them. 10/ Know if you're default alive. Paul Graham's question: on current growth and current burn, do you reach profitability before the money runs out? 11/ Don't hire until it hurts. Headcount is not progress, it's burn. Every great startup was embarrassingly small for embarrassingly long. 12/ Momentum is the only real moat in year one. Ship something every week, even something tiny. 13/ Every great startup is badly broken at some point. The game isn't avoiding fires, it's how fast you put them out. Again. And again 14/ Ignore your competitors. Startups die of suicide, not murder. In year one, the only company that can kill yours is your own 15/ Startups rarely die from running out of money. They die because the founders fall out. Brutal honesty with your cofounder is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy Good luck !

often it's not about the thing, it's about the handling of the thing & prioritization of the person

fall in love with someone who wants you, who waits for you. who understands you even in the madness, someone who helps you, and guides you, someone who is your support, and your hope. fall in love with someone who talks with you after a fight. fall in love with someone who misses you and wants to be with you. do not fall in love only with a body or a face or with the idea of being in love

I’m convinced there’s a sixth love language: not having to ask. Someone remembering, noticing, anticipating, and showing up for you without needing a list of instructions first.

put a lot of spikes together legend

yeah. and it tastefully verifies so cool

Fable is like 5.5 with the interactivity of Claude very cool! haven't tried long horizon tasks yet!!

imagine if every website became a physical space it's an agentic browser that auto-converts content into three.js spaces that'd be wild

love this!

Had Claude Fable 5 log network packets and display them as cars on a highway, different car types = different packet types
