Wonderful story in addition to being beautifully written, somewhat ironically in a way the AI never could.

I first knew how incredible this authoritative profile of Josh Kushner and Thrive would be when the author, @JeremySternLA, sent me a 500-page document full of interview transcripts he’d done with members of the Thrive team. That dossier ended up being less than half the total…



Wise words (even as enterprise customers have long known this well), but there will be increasing demand for specialization, which customers have always wanted. The challenge will be remaining competitively focused, growing without adding too much complexity. This will take work.

Why AI won’t destroy existing software



*super important post*

This is a super important post from @MelMitchell1 at @sfiscience on what’s real and what’s not in AI proclamations. Lots of noise in the system.



A wonderful professor and an even better man. It was a privilege to have been his student.

In many ways, former Booth professor Robert Aliber embodied the ideal of a caring educator during his long tenure at UChicago. In the wake of his passing, he leaves behind numerous business leaders, students, and scholars who are grateful for his impact. ms.spr.ly/6017sbwCt

Very good post by @carrynointerest, but it is even more straightforward for enterprise applications: Enterprise software companies have realized their import by knowing the (often times complex) processes of their customers intimately and developing highly reliable software…

WILL AI DESTROY YOUR SOFTWARE COMPANY? OR: WHICH SOFTWARE COMPANY SHOULD I BUILD? I'm a software private equity investor. I look at 10-20 software businesses each week to acquire. I see good, bad, and everything in between. ***I am reposting this since apparently all the pods…

A couple of things to remember about the BBB: 1. The reason the deficit numbers look better without the bill is that under current law there is a huge tax increase set to take effect at the end of this year. 2. The "cuts" in Medicaid in the BBB are not actual cuts as they are…



This 'lost funding' @ThomTillis ?

The Senate version of the One Big Beautiful bill contains significant changes to Medicaid that would be devastating to North Carolina, and I cannot support it. The Senate should go back to the House’s commonsense approach to Medicaid reform to enact work requirements while…

During my grad school orientation, we did a team competition for the 'best' business idea. The winning idea (not my team) was distributing toilet seats in rural China. Having spent the summer before in El Salvador, where (at best) we had manual (i.e. bucket) flush commodes with…

Important learning here for all professors. Of course it was physically feasible to do. The magic was making it work commercially. This knowhow was just outside of the professor's expertise. Just saying as much to Fred was the better response.

In 1965, at Yale, Fred Smith wrote an undergrad paper for Professor Challis Hall's Economics 43A class outlining an idea for a nationwide overnight delivery system. The prof gave it a "C" saying it was infeasible. It ended up being a template for FedEx which Smith started in 1971
