- Have we tried turning America off and back on again?
- 25 years in tech is... the 1990s. The actual pioneers who built computing weren't 'broken people with chips on their shoulders.' They were often methodical builders supported by strong institutions, mentors, and communities. This trauma-glamorizing BS has to stop.A very famous VC once told me: "I've been doing this for 25+yrs and let me tell you: I know little about tech. But I do know people. And I know the best founders are usually people so broken, often from childhood, with a chip on their shoulder so huge, it just won't go away."
- One of my favorite things about New York is how common it is to encounter seniors living pretty autonomously well into their 80s+. I love walkability for myself, but I *really* love it for seniors who’d like to live full lives for as long as possible.

- I love asking people what they have unreasonably high standards for. The answers are always very revealing. And if they don’t have an answer—well, that’s also revealing. So, what do you have “unreasonably”high standards for?
- TADSE goes viral on here every few months, but people sometimes struggle with it once they start. They expect a linear book, but it's actually a set of lectures: part memoir, part philosophy, part technical aside. That unevenness is part of the charm, but can make it hard toYou should really give this book a read
- Being an excellent host is just about the most potent version of soft power that exists; no one can convince me otherwise. Take the hostess pill:
Hospitality skills — and I do just mean the most basic “how do you make people feel when they enter your space?” skills — are, I think, underrated.
