“If you haven't heard of Y Combinator, it's a cross between an investment firm and a school for startup founders. Since we started it in 2005 we've funded about 6500 companies” 6500!

Interesting that there is no AI in the creation flow for OpenAI ads.

It's a great time to build a product for architecture review boards.

Had a few hours on Sunday so I tried vibe-coding Qualtrics. Honestly, incredible. Should I ship it? Before my time at GoDaddy, the company built their own version of Microsoft Word. They killed it within a few years. Just because you can build all this stuff should you? Are you going to maintain it? Who's going to fix it at 10pm on a Sunday night? What are you going to be the best at?

What's the German word for when you spend more time doing something with Claude than it would have taken to do by hand?

Chaos / stability in my life can be measured by how big my stack of periodicals is (aka time for recreational reading), and how long my Wordle streak is (aka time awake at 3am to complete it)

I've been writing investor updates religiously every month for the last 5 years. They take about 1-2 hours depending on the month but well worth it for the accountability feedback loop. Last month I started writing a skill to automate it and it took about 30 minutes. This week finished the skill and output took 10 minutes. Still high quality and my own thoughts - it's pulling from Granola recordings, Mixpanel, the Great Question MCP etc - but time savings means I can get it out on the 1st of the month without fail.

Never let a good crisis go to waste.

“CEO of Hot Pockets ™ says that ‘most, if not all’ meals will be fully replaced with Hot Pockets ™ within the next 12 to 18 months”

Greatest compliment I can give right now is that I listen to your voice notes on 1x

I'm sure it's been said before but the rise of AI superpowers at the same time as the proliferation of medical meth testosterone is such a wild combination for human evolution.

Traffic tickets issued in Costra Costa County take up to 12 months to get into the system so you can pay them because it’s all entered manually. In California! #5 GDP on the planet, highest tax rate in the country, why are we not living in the future?
