One of my favorite economics papers. Fundamentally shaped the way I think about markets.

We talk. They build. 1993 - When the internet came, there was hope that some Indian company will put up a great browser and make a world-beating product. Nothing. 1999 - When the search engine revolution commenced, there was hope some Indian company will put up a great search…

What's the most impactful piece of career advice you've ever been given?

My wife is away for work, and I am utterly adrift without her. Nights feel longer. The silence is heavier. I find it hard to sleep without her beside me, her breathing, her warmth, the quiet gravity of her presence. Day by day, we’ve woven ourselves into each other’s rhythm…

Underrated career hack: Be easy to root for. Show up early. Do what you say you're going to do. Take things off others plates. Stay late. Work weekends. Have a great attitude. Don't gossip, whine, or complain. Be easy to work with and hard to compete against.

This is actually quite a profound observation, hmm. And I mean more broadly than just what Brian's thread is talking about.

Duty calls.

I highly recommend this paper for those wanting to understand the semiconductor industry better. It provides an excellent overview of industrial policy efforts, the role of major economies, and how supply chains are evolving.

Never use Pure White (FFFFFF). It can lead to eye strain and looks really harsh. Instead, use these alternatives:

They ask questions. They appear more dumb. They use more analogies. They can explain tough topics without using jargon’s. They read. They are life long learners. They have a classy sense of humour!

This chart has been sent to me by a follower and it gave me a good laugh 🤣

The miracle of China's transformation from the "cheap labor, cheap goods" label to world-leading tech-driven industrial prowess is dawning on America's elite. We in India must study China like a diligent student. Unfortunately the ideas that dominate the Indian corporate world…

If you want to explore blogging about AI, this seems like a great way to give it a shot, get great mentorship, and hold yourself accountable.

This Shopify SPY Agent is absolutely wild 🤯 This n8n agent will take any competitor's Shopify store... And automatically scrape + analyze every product image with AI. Perfect for e-comm operators who need competitive intel. But instead of manually browsing stores for hours…

the best way to avoid this is to cultivate intellectual sparring partners in real life. find people who are independent thinkers, who you trust, whose opinions you respect, who challenge you, and make them your sounding board.

How to run an LLM on your laptop

This is my lecture from 2 months ago at @Cornell “How do I increase my output?” One natural answer is "I will just work a few more hours." Working longer can help, but eventually you hit a physical limit. A better question is, “How do I increase my output without increasing…

Maintenance sex is not seen in movies 🥺 This woman is so brilliant. So much of this will go over peoples head completely, but this level of thought and consideration around sexuality and sexual life is really astute and wise.

The trilogy has the potential to give a roadmap to your young children who are doing their schooling. As a parent, giving them this resource—which provides them with a leisurely opportunity to explore the most fundamental explorations by mankind—is a very noble step in parenting.

Don't just read books, re-read them. What is your favorite book to re-read?

AX, agent experience, is now a key aspect of all tools we ship. Six months after I coined Agent Experience I mapped the real-world patterns and wrote up why they matter. Deploy first, claim later: @boltdotnew launches a live Netlify site before you even log in. @supabase auth…

Build your life around your strengths and build systems around your weaknesses. Write this down

This doesn’t mean we never got angry. But there’s a big difference between owned and disowned anger. Imagine a 20 foot tall giant yelling at you. If your anger is AT your child, it’s punishment. But if you own your anger + your kid knows they're safe, it's not punishment.

I've written 50 articles about designing AI products as we've built multiple AI-first companies from the ground up over the past 2+ years. have at 'em:

In 2015, John MacArthur delivered a sermon titled "We Will Not Bow," following the Supreme Court's legalization of same-sex marriage. This sermon is considered by some to be one of the most significant preached in the 21st century.

This is the hardest hitting prompt I have ever used. Prompts that changed my life. Part 24.

Can’t agree more

There’s something about ancient civilisations…..The Christians converted the entire island of Fiji but they couldn’t convert the Hindus living there - Lee Kuan Yew👏👏

This is really going to be era of super ICs. You can get SO MUCH done with just a couple of tools. If you are a generalist with multiple skills, it’s going to be a killer era.

Hospitals—defined as institutions that provided both outpatient and inpatient care by professionally trained doctors and nurses, using the most advanced medical knowledge of their time—were a Christian invention.

The real developer moat isn't coding anymore. LLMs can pump out functions faster than most of us can type. The moat is in the spaces between the code. It's knowing why your database is slow when the logs show nothing obvious. It's understanding that the "simple" feature request…

Nailed it.

Most people do not realize how revolutionary the New Testament sex ethic was:

I have a simple theory for this. Any time this question is asked, people point to cultural or moral reasons (e.g., the declinist view of Western society or some other mumbo jumbo). IMO, this is only because they lack insight into more important structural reasons, such as…
