I often pray the prayer that St. Paul prays for the Philippians church “that I may increase in knowledge, depth of insight, and discernment of the best” This is a prayer for • value investing • entrepreneurship • every day life
Jeff Bezos had the conviction abt Amazon & AWS, even though the smartest in Wall Street differed with him. He stood by his conviction and this became a billionaire. As Naval says conviction comes only through thinking for yourself
To make money you need courage of conviction, not knowledge. You can have as much knowledge as you can gain. Knowledge might also gives you conviction. But unless you are able to act on that conviction it is not going to help you earn.
Amazing people are just now 100 times more amazing and 100 times more effective. But I still need the amazing people.
A fool with chatgpt is still a fool. Probably much worse because now he thinks he knows something. Greatest advisory to knowledge is not ignorance but illusion of knowledge.

You may not be interested in politics. But politics is interested in you. Politics isn’t only abt voter theft • Ethanol blending in petrol • Taxes paid • Curriculum in schools All are politics
"We expect parallel agents to become the default in the industry..." Warp is already doing it. How can a person orchestrate and validate those agents? Or is this a wrong question? by @EASzyszka
If you register for @1mgOfficial , @cromaretail will send you promotional email. I understand both are Tata groups but if I didn't register for a particular company or agree for promotional email, I shouldn't get it.
If you want to read pdf on ios devices there is no better app than “Good Reader”. I keep trying other apps and keep coming back to it. I have been using it probably for a decade now.

Want to become intelligent? Watch comedy. And maybe make some jokes here and there.
Comedians are the most creative people in the world. As the world descends into anarchy caused by right wing mobs, comedians are also the courageous ones holding values.
Build for workflow completion, not feature novelty. That's how you win when the underlying AI becomes a commodity. If you are a product leader, learn how to think about building AI features into your product:
Many social media platforms have launched, proclaiming the death of Twitter. Yet, it still thrives. What's the secret? Ello, Mastodon, Bluesky …
The more I read "The fabric of reality" by David Deutch, I draw parallels to GPT tools and see the relevance. Prediction, however, accurate is not the same as understanding. GPT tools are good at prediction. Not understanding.
Apparently to close an Axis bank account, you need to go to the bank and hand over cards, cheque, and an closure requisition form Can't be done online.
When ego > brain, eventually you get humiliated. Pride goes before fall - Proverbs 16:18
> India is only looking at Trump's statements and getting into details. What is required is to have right chemistry. These details are of least importance to Trump and he is desperately seeking validation from India. This is how negotiations work. Don't give facts to a bully
Looks like "The Hindu" is the only paper with spine today. Everyone else is crawling when asked to bend
India has everything a tourist would love • deserts • waterfalls • natural beauty • architecture Do you know why tourists don't flock to India? There are no roads without potholes States ban dependable cab services for taxi unions Then there are bigoted attacks ... Fix them
Why homeschooling fails in India? I have interacted with many parents who chose to homeschool their children but eventually returned to traditional schooling. One primary reason is common among many of these cases.
We used to have many desktop apps. Browsers consolidated all of them. (Desktop) apps became tabs That moment is repeating with AI models. (Web) apps will become a MCP action.
When I first heard the advice, "learn to deal with ambiguity", I thought it was another mgmt platitude. I was wrong. As a CTO, 80% of work is dealing with ambiguity.

I taught preliminary stock analysis to my boys (13&15) as part of homeschooling. They are starting to understand financial statements, MOAT, etc. Here is their analysis of Sonata software: • •
Picture > 1000 words You can reduce multiple iterations of wireframing and long descriptive texts with a vibe-coded prototype. This is a good news for IT services companies. Vibe-coding will reduce feedback time like agile did for waterfall method.
70% of developer’s time is spent on non-coding activities - email, meetings … So even the best code generating tools are only targeting very minute part of developer’s life.
Attitude > Skills Do you know why most skill training fails (either in corporate or in country)? Before skill training, foster positive attitude towards that technology that you are teaching. If you are in L&D, this is important From a research:
In Tamil, we have a saying, "whether a saree falls on the thorn or the thorn falls on saree, the result is same: the saree gets torn" And we are trying to state "facts" on a negotiating table. Trump thinks he can walk away with tariffs. Can we walk away with stating facts?

AWS won over Joyant with volume. Being first or the best doesn't matter, if you don't have distribution. True then, true now.
Small goals finely executed, can lead to a big life. BHAG goals didn’t fit me. I am not after goals that motivational speakers talk about. I go after goals that make me who I am. Surprisingly now people ask me how to build such life.
Looks like anyone who educates masses attract wrath of certain section of Indians. Surya's Agaram lifted 1000s of people out of poverty via education. But these faceless trolls throw dirt at them
Chinese startup Manus is building an orchestration tool coordinate scores of AI agents for research. The Chinese have moved beyond core AI research. They are building platforms to use AI based research in other domains.
I am already a customer of lenskart. May be time to buy its stocks too.
I love this from @saastr Specific is terrific Write about what is specific to you and your space. Go deep Talk about earned secrets that only you can talk about
I agree memorization helps. You cannot think with ideas that are not in your head. But time to time, if someone can explain how and why those memorized ideas help, it would be awesome to be enthusiastic about those facts.
One advice that completely changed my perspective on leadership is this Learn to deal with ambiguity It is hard for a developer to deal with ambiguity since software development is deterministic.
