Vibe coding is more addictive than any video game ever made (if you know what you want to build).

Just as you travel so that you can miss your home, you socialize so that you can miss your self.

The only book an entrepreneur needs.

🚨📕 THE BOOK OF ELON IS NOW LIVE!!! 🎉🚀 This is the book we WISHED @elonmusk would write… “All of Elon's most useful ideas, in his own words.” Learn directly from the world’s greatest entrepreneur, like you’re sitting across from him at dinner. It took FIVE YEARS to make this for you. Because it's built from hundreds and hundreds of Elon's public appearances. I went through 3,000,000+ words to collect the most useful and timeless ideas. The final book is ~50,000 words. Every word is USEFUL. (This is what I do. My first book, The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, is one of the top 100 most highlighted books of all time on Kindle.) Then, I spent $50,000+ on editing and design so it looks and feels beautiful. Then… > Foreword by @naval. > Visuals by @jackbutcher. > Blurb from @mrbeast. > Published by @scribemediaco. > And yes, approval on this idea from Elon himself, thanks to @samteller. I went Maximum Effort to make this an all-timer. We got 10/10 on reviews from early readers, then worked on it for ANOTHER YEAR. Why so much effort? My mission is to create One Million Musks. For a generation to lift our gaze and build, so our grandchildren live in a world beyond our wildest dreams. I’m an independent author. I don’t get an advance. I risk my own time and money to make these books. Then we give away millions of them. Digital versions are free. I believe this book can benefit every human, and if you can’t pay five bucks for it, I want to personally gift it to you. Because I know it is useful. Useful how? You may be seeking purpose, a mission worthy of your life’s effort. You may have a clear purpose and seek the tools for success. You will find both in this book. Get the benefits of Elon’s entire life of hard-won lessons in a five-hour, easy read. (I checked, it’s a 5th-grade reading level.) You’ll feel personally mentored by the greatest entrepreneur in history. Click below to buy it now on Amazon, Audible, or directly from me.

AI coding agents can now deliver one-shot custom apps straight to your phone. It’s the beginning of the end for the iPhone’s dominance.

A lot of software is about to get a lot better, right before it becomes unnecessary.

My 3.5-hour conversation with @naval. Fresh takes on every idea from The Almanack of Naval: happiness, judgment, knowledge, leverage. Now in one episode, available on Spotify, Youtube, etc.

Coding an app is the new starting a podcast.

Software was eaten by AI.

Yet another example of a socialist obsessed with splitting up the pie that exists, while totally ignoring what makes the pie grow. This *exact* line of thinking leads to Cubans squatting in the ruins of buildings the capitalists built in the '40 and '50s, which the communists can no longer maintain, let alone replace.

@themarcuspandey Thanks.

seems like @naval mistakenly followed a random account

Obsession is the mother of invention

So the proposed California wealth tax is an effort by a corrupt healthcare union to blackmail Gavin Newsom into giving them a bunch of free stuff. And they don't really care if it passes. They just want free stuff. Cool. Democracy.

AI is going to drain a lot of moats.

@Yuchenj_UW Perfect.

@naval make something computers want x.com/Yuchenj_UW/sta…

A “computer” used to be a job title. Then a computer became a thing humans used. Now a computer is becoming a thing computers use.

Software will proliferate just as videos, music, writing did. The market structure will shift from a “fat middle” to mega-aggregators and a long tail. It’ll be a slower process due to network effects, but many traditional vendor lock-ins will get eaten by AI.
