With less than $20k in my bank account, I quit my job at Google and lost $140k... Leaving was the hardest decision I've ever made- my whole life has been spent chasing financial security and safety, and that's exactly what I got at Google. But that safety came with a ceiling: I…
> data is the final frontier cannot agree more. incredible founder and true polymath.
Today, humanity is shackled by scarcity of expertise. When expertise becomes infinitely scalable, humans will be freed to tackle problems we can't even conceive of today. Introducing @AfterQuery. We’re building a world where expertise is abundant. Domain by domain, profession…
this week i turned down an acquisition offer from a billion dollar company. they saw what i was able to build as a solo founder in just 2 months and knew they needed to get me early. good instincts, but i'm at least 10 years away from even considering an exit. launch coming…
had my first formal VC pitch meeting today. this pitching thing is way harder than i thought itd be. good wake up call
i couldn't sleep all night. spent 5 hours lying in bed just thinking. obsessing over narrowing down my ICP and contemplating an acquisition offer + fundraising round. fucking sucks to functionally lose 5 hours but also incredibly grateful. grateful that i get to solve a problem…
wow the last AWS status update is incredible
somebody sent me this infographic out of the blue, can anybody tell me why?
somebody recommended this book to me out of the blue, not sure why 🤔
TL;DR built an analytics tool that finds correlations and insights from any dataset in a fast and accurate way. if you work with a lot of data and want to find actionable insights, DM me! as a quick example: 1. i uploaded two NFL dataset with team stats (one for offensive stats…
walking home from a fireside with @vsodera one of the sharpest, no BS guys i've heard speak. in a world where capital is commoditized, this is the kind of person you want on your cap table. incredible signal to noise ratio.
really interesting. STRONG signal that we are in a founders market. a few years ago pre-seed VCs were passing on super talented friends because they werent ready to 100% commit on the spot. now we have YC, of everyone, offering a call option to college seniors.
i faced the same decision my senior year of college. i chose google, and after 2 months realized i needed to do a startup the decision boiled down to: do i want to be content with a mediocre outcome, or do i want to risk it all chasing a dream? i first chose google because i…

yk i was really confused when i saw all these cloud hosting platforms such as @vercel and @Cloudflare release vibe coding tools. like what business does a website hosting company have competing with cursor and lovavle. but its all very sensible. at this point vibe coding tools…
grok is so honest it even disobeys its system prompt. based asf
How to spot high agency people: They pet the elephant in the room.
i want to get mad at everyone on x for misunderstanding autism, but my actually autistic cousin was solving international math olympiad problems at 12 so yall lowk right
it hurts me to praise @elonmusk and @xai, but their grok 4 fast models are really, really, REALLY good. it's much cheaper than even llama 3 70B, runs at around the same speed, and is MUCH better. big ups elon.
L take the truth is groq serves a solution to an industry problem: LLM inferences at insane speed. the fact that they're so fast while using 14nm 2019 chips is even more impressive, and should be a signal that more investment will only speed up groq and help them capture more…
and this is why I love hearing the words "You're absolutely right!"
