I’ve been running product & engineering for 20+ years and AI 🤖 is the biggest thing that’s happened since the internet. We’re at the cusp of transformative change across every industry/vertical & the potential for new innovation is truly staggering. For the first time in over…
Did Google's Gemini 3 really leapfrog past ChatGPT? The cold, hard truth is... No. Not for most users. Not even close. It's clearly just an incremental improvement in terms of text. For example, it still gets a lot of things wrong. Ask it to build a slide deck for next year…
Here’s why AI won’t scale… With a traditional, non-AI app a dev team can easily support 10s or even 100s of thousands of users with 1 web server costing $400/month at AWS or Azure. With an intensive AI app a dev team can only serve a max of like 15 users with 1 web server —…
You’ll succeed if you deliver value to your customer consistently. But… Give them no value and you get nothing. Give them value they can get elsewhere and you get nothing. Give them value they don’t need at the time and you get nothing. Give them value that costs them too…
Some uncomfortable realities of increasing your earning potential: Do risky, disruptive or new project ideas Try more experiments than others Set difficult targets & try to meet them Get into higher optic meetings Build stronger teams by exiting weak team members Get off…
Ever have those days where you're just mentally exhausted but physically fine? What do you do to get out of it?
The history of technology isn’t a story of replacement, it’s a story of people finding new ways of creating leverage. 25 years ago they said Java would be the last language we’d ever need. 20 years ago they said Open Source would kill dev jobs. 15 years ago they said Cloud…
Starting a company and running it means dealing with a lot of boring work. Most of building a business isn't glamorous. It's easier to be a 9 to 5 exec, have 1 great Board meeting a month, and go home to tell the spouse. Owning a business is totally different. Once in a while…
Figure out your priorities and then organize your week so most of your time is going into priority 1, 2 and 3. Contrary to popular wisdom I'm not sure most people can really "win" there week - too much variance. But winning your week is totally possible.
Most enterprise SaaS users above the age of 40 don't want to use a chat interface.
Long term thinking doesn’t always apply. If you’re going to exit in a year then think short term. But if you’re growing an org from $30M to $100 then figure out long-game.
Willpower is doing the right things in the difficult times. Builders know this. It’s incredibly hard to build anything. Even if you have money it is NOT easy. Willpower matters a lot.
In the days before social media it was easy to focus on the good in the world. Now that everything is out in the world it’s much more difficult to stay positive about things. You have to be super deliberate about it and you STILL will face very crazy & negative input into your…
It's so easy to be a jerk to people once you make it. I see so many people fall into that trap. Then life slaps them upside their head & suddenly they are humble again. Don't be that person!
Spent some time recently deep-diving into all the doom-and-gloom AI news for devs and honestly? It feels like the situation may actually be much better than is being portrayed. 🪤 Most new articles are clickbait. Almost every story is written (GPT-ed?) by an entry-level…
Soon, ‘recommended for you’ will feel as old-fashioned as telling someone to ‘hang up the phone.’ Once personalization is the default, the idea of generic content will seem like a relic of the analog age.
It is very rare for super successful people to share their money-making secrets. I repeat, it's very rare for super successful people to share their money-making secrets. Moderately successful people will. So will unsuccessful people. That's why @AlexHormozi is so popular.…
Even if AI stopped evolving right now once companies figure out how to use / adopt it the amount of carnage it will create will be significant.
Truth? Few in your network really want you to succeed. Find the ones that do and stay loyal to them!
Staying focused is hard. So we invent hacks: ice baths, perfect sleep routines, productivity rituals. But focus isn’t a hack. It’s a habit you build. A skill you sharpen. But most people never do.
The people you least expect will help you. The people you thought would help you, won't. What's the learning here? We're not always good judges of character. And people often don't reveal their true selves. Roll with the people who are genuine.
