Welcome to Build Week! buildweek.net
Some people have been contemplating an idea for years, maybe decades. Obsessing, attempting, discarding, agonizing, retrying.
Some of these ideas are unpopular, niche, impractical. Not obviously capitalizable. They live on in the inventor's mind.
In 2026, millions of these ideas will come to life thanks to superintelligent coding agents.
AI doesn't get tired. It amplifies the individual, and for better and sometimes for worse, it always takes you seriously. "Great idea. Splendid. Wow. You're absolutely right."
A world of digital wonders awaits us. This world will disproportionally favor the boldest ideas. Software that once seemed impossible will be one hyperlink away. I can't wait to see it.

"Self-improvement is the only true improvement."
I just attended @naval ‘s fireside chat with @balajis at the Network State conference.
Here are my top 12 takeaways:
• Solving your material situation (financial freedom) is the foundation for building your life
• Wealth = ability to affect transformations
• If ChatGPT can replicate it, you likely can't monetize it
• Creativity is solving problems in new ways
• Real value lies in solving yet-unknown problems
• Self-improvement is the only true improvement
• Naval's greatest achievements stemmed from pursuing his natural obsessions
• "To be alone is the fate of all great souls" - Schopenhauer
• Book recommendations: "The Beginning of Infinity" and "The Fabric of Reality"
• Address material needs by creating something society wants
• You can't buy: a fit body, a calm mind, and a house full of love
• Don't chase respect; it leads to fame, turning you into a celebrity (often miserable)
• Ultimate bonus takeaway: You have to figure it out for yourself

No one ever, when they're old, wishes they hadn't spent so much time with their kids.

If you want to predict kids' screen time, look to their parents.
Children spend less time on devices when their parents use them less often—and ban them at meals & bedtime.
Kids internalize the values they observe. A key to being a good role model is setting healthy boundaries.

becoming super obvious:
gotta leverage AI or be out-hustled, out-optimized, and outperformed by those who do.

This is actually insane
A new type of device, a pocket companion. They’re not trying to replace your phone
It’s AI enabled hardware that understands interfaces & can complete tasks for you
You can even teach it through screenshare
& it’s only $199 🥵

This is what happens when you believe in your children.

more has happened in the last year of AI than the prior 10
we are unmistakably in the fiery takeoff of the most important technology of the rest of our lives
everybody—governments, citizens, technologists—is awaiting w/bated breath (some helplessly) the next version of humanity
