Optimistic in the streets, pessimistic in the sheets.

Being a founder means being the most optimistic person in the room and the most pessimistic person in the room. At the same time. About the same company.

You can now build software that looks ready for a million users before you've learned what one person actually needs. That's a dangerous amount of room to fool yourself. Find people already doing the work. Give them early access. Watch what happens when they try to use your product in ways you never anticipated. The faster you can build, the sooner you need contact with reality.

It’s important to remember: a stopped clock, while right twice a day, is still wrong 99.86% of the time.

Software evolves because requirements change. People evolve because life does.

NGL. I don’t think I’m able to trust 5.6 (Terra and Luna) at this point. Twice it introduced code into my project that I explicitly wrote to implement a different way. Anyone else?

I really want a “no ai” feature for my social media feeds. I don’t want to see posts identified as AI or Made with AI by default on X, IG, YouTube, and LinkedIn.

In the age of AI, as the gap between ideas and execution compresses , deciding what deserves execution is where greatness shines.

It turns out, declaring yourself contrarian is in fact, not contrarian.

When something is not working, the answer is more often to refine, remove, reorder, or simplify. Not addition.

In a world of infinite takes, most of them are noise. The only ones that actually matter are the views you form yourself because they’re the only ones aligned with your circumstances and the decisions you have to make.

I loved Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. It was an amazing display of American culture, that some people don’t want to recognize as American. Also let’s be clear, TPUSA didn’t put on an “all-American” halftime show, they put on a “not that America” halftime show.

Not every challenge is chess. Sometimes it’s just checkers, and the mistake is over-thinking the board.
