Live demos are great A friend who was ex-Apple told me it started dying the day they stopped doing live demos. And I can't unsee all the ways it's pernicious and true. Take a 100 Zuck live fumbles over the bs apple filmed keynotes
Don't think about strategy when you haven't built anything yet! When you're starting, it's much better to focus on a specific customer (even better if you're the customer!) and making them extremely happy— than to go through the motions playing startup while worrying about TAM
To feel more at peace and more successful, you don’t need genius-level brain power, access to some secret society, or to hit a moving target of “just” an additional X dollars. Those are all distractions. Based on everything I’ve seen, a simple recipe can work: focus on what’s…
+1 for "context engineering" over "prompt engineering". People associate prompts with short task descriptions you'd give an LLM in your day-to-day use. When in every industrial-strength LLM app, context engineering is the delicate art and science of filling the context window…

Vibe coding is a leaky abstraction. A leaky abstraction means I often have to understand the underlying implementation (in other words, the code) to fix it. Good abstractions rarely leak. For example, today most popular programming languages manage memory for us. This…
Vibe coding is the modern version of copy/pasting code you don’t understand from Stack Overflow. It seems fine at first, but at some point you need to understand how to code.
most of the time in product design the answer is to remove something not to add something.

Unless you’re at a serious inflection point in the company, I find it’s better to be pickier about each hire than it is hire too many people. Often it only takes a small number of people to drive a trajectory changing moment. Tiny teams move extremely fast.
