Listened to @robertwrighter & @EconTalker on the on-going Israel conflict. My Notes: • Even those on opposite end of the spectrum can sit down and talk in civil manner without shouting at each other • Unless we talk to the other side, we'll not understand their point of view;…
Just today, during a morning walk, saw a well dressed educated gentleman pieing on the sidewalk while talking on his phone. As more things change, more things remain the same.

Clean code is a sign of too much free time. At any time, working code is always messy. Same is true for your note taking system. If you are a busy working professional, it is going to be messy. Probably notes distributed in multiple apps too. Get used to it. #pkm
Organisations die by suicide not by murder.
Looks like @Zoom doesn't allow login via @Apple id. There doesn't seem to be a resolution. Look here: Who will help us? @zoom or @AppleSupport
From “Good Strategy, Bad Strategy” Lot to think about how to identify what really matters in a tech change. Seems so relevant with all hype abt GenAI.
Question for product people (PMs & CEOs): Do you use your product much like @elonmusk using Twitter? In the early days of iPhone Steve Jobs used not apps that came up on App Store. SJ had a pulse on how the product ecosystem was emerging. I feel the same with Elon.
As I crossed 50, I keep thinking about how to build wealth to pass on to next generation. Many questions came up while discussing this topic in our group. • Why give money to kids? They should earn it themselves • Education is the best gift, not money I'm excited to discuss…
I listen to YouTube videos & take notes. Often, I don't know if a video is insightful until I have listened to it. Time-waste. Can I use GenAI to summarize a video & listen if summary is interesting? Tried few videos. It works. Going to build for self. #buildinpublic
> Random human interaction will move more and more in the background, and it is not a good thing Next gen wouldn’t know how to hold a conversation (as we lost the art of writing letters)
> A million little conversations never happen This is across our day. At dinning table with kids, colleagues, waiting in line … We are losing million little chances to be social as we are created to be. We choose otherwise and we reap the consequences.
🎙️ What is the importance of family culture and how to build it? 🎙️ Excited to release another episode on "Being a dad" with @keepkwizing 🏡👨👩👧👦 In this episode, we dive into values, stories, and communication that shape a strong family culture. 💪🌱 Listen here:…
Kejriwal started as an activist and became a politician. Rahul Gandhi started as a politician and fastly becoming an activist

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self. - Cyril Connolly I think about this as there is mad rush to build personal brand.
I was thinking of opening an account with Zerodha. Looks like they still have technical glitches. Wondering if it is safe to use Zerodha (if only for MF and long term stocks)
Great way to start a book. Captures your attention immediately. From “Good strategy, Bad strategy” book
When you talk to an expert you get metaphors that brightens your mind. Asked @rishabh_grg to explain "Programmatic SEO". "It is creating category of 1 for webpages with long-tail keywords" Got it. Thank you. Why I prefer to talk to practitioners.
I come across these stories all the time. Domain experts want to develop an app. They have no tech knowledge. They write a scope and shop around. They select set of agencies / freelancers to code their MVP. They choose the cheapest as they dont hv any other factors to decide.…
When the little guys watch out for each other they can defeat the big and fast of the forest. As @madversity says, it is nothing to do with Indian politics.
Not all tasks are same. Once you realise there is a hierarchy, you can automate most of the low level tasks so you can be creative with the tasks that only you can do. I write more here: #productivity
So true. I have learned this in a hard manner. You have to "become" the person who is productive. No amount of techniques and tools will help you if you don't "become"
> write true things that happen to be polarizing, and don't take the shortcut of aiming for polarizing regardless of truth. Wish more people read and follow this.
Trying out @huggingface models along with @deno_land for some genAI tasks. Always a joy to get into coding and try out something new. Here I explained why I am learning #deno:
If you want to improve your investment decision making, keep a journal of your buys, sells, and pass. Refer them back often to learn. That’s one of the ways I improved my investment competence.
The more tasks you can turn into low-level activities, the more time you’ll have for creative work. Low-level tasks aren’t important; they are. But streamlining them frees up your cognitive power for creativity. I write more in today's commonlog:
Hey @SejalSud : Are you aware all the twitter spaces you hosted are here: If any of your followers missed any of the episodes, they can go and listen to these amazing interviews & spaces.
A disease that most new entrepreneurs catch is: trying to solve everything at once. As my guest, Samson says, better to solve one properly and scale from there. Good lesson for me as I edit this 100th episode.
Has anyone used @streamlabs for podcast video editing? Seems to be a good alternative for Descript.
> Just getting better guests would be a 10x better use of time than worrying about a commoditized job of editing So true. Not that video editing is not valuable. A podcaster brings more value from bringing great guests and having memorable conversation than video editing.
I create visuals to understand a concept. It is growing daily. You can read posts associated with these visuals at #visuals
I recorded a podcast with a financial planner. Thought he went all over the place in answering my questions. Was hesitant to post. It is one of the top episode in terms of traffic. You never know what will hit with the audience

It is 10 pm. Loud music and singing going on in one of the houses of the colony here. No concern for neighbors. All that matters is me, myself, and I. India lacks any and all civic sense.
No one teaches us how to be a dad. We stumble, learning as we go, making mistakes. Even when we learn a lesson, the chance to use it is gone. We talk about money, careers, promotions – but never about how to be a dad. How are you learning to be a dad?
500 days of moving … Little bit daily to keep fit as I age

Are we seeing UN unravelling much like its predecessor “league of nations”?
The internet enables you to learn from anyone, anywhere. But you've to be careful about your teachers. Content makers are creating fluffy courses and articles to sell you mediocre insights. In today's commonglog entry, I talk about the best teachers:
I'm also (re)discoering voice notes much like @SathyaHQ Dictation is my warm-up. It lets me capture ideas while walking or whenever inspiration hits.
As long as your mind is sharp and you can contribute positively with your intellect, there’s no need to retire. Charlie Munger is probably a great example of this. I talk about this in today's commonlog entry:

You’ve only got 15 summers with your kids. Spend time together during those formative years, and later when life pulls you apart, the bond remains strong. If you’re too busy working, they won’t form a bond with you. More in today's commonlog entry:
