@matkeep Man that MDB stock really paid! 😉

I’ve had worse starts to the week. Somewhere on the Med between the coasts of Spain and Morocco

@iamjakestream That’s a very low bar

LinkedIn shouldn’t allow you to connect with people if you don’t know their email. It should be the default

@adocomplete I know the pain. Maintenance mode with a chiropractor has been very helpful.

You know you're not young any more when you bend over to pick up something and completely throw out your back. I'm in an Opus amount of pain right now 😰

@yuris Fair, but maybe that experience get's pushed to you via an over-the-air update in the future, and then your assets get more valuable.

@AndrewJohnson22 I have three teslas with FSD. It’s not the same at all. I can do 2 hours of productive work in a Waymo today. I can’t do that in a Tesla. I want to pay for productivity.

Waymo should let people buy the cars. They should then allow users to decide if they want the car dedicated to them or optionally enter it into Waymo service during certain times and hours (eg while they’re at work).

@iamjakestream When the tide goes out...

Every bubble has its fraud. We don’t learn.

In addition to grit, curiosity, optimism, agency, and a bias for action, I think "clock speed" is a cornerstone of a great hire. In an in-person chat, pretty easy to tell how quickly someone can process information without prep.

@andrewchen The only way the theory above works is if we actually start spending our time doing new stuff. A good personal example is delegating work to free you up to move up the stack and doing harder work. Still on you to then go do the harder/higher impact work.

AI isn’t about replacing people. It’s about replacing the parts of people that can be replaced, so that we can focus all our time on doing new stuff

@nayaraisin Oh we know! But this WFH guy is never pool side, gotta be on that grind.

Please someone know what I’m referring to

It’s so gorgeous out. I yearn for the life of those DIML PMs by the pool who single-handedly brought down techs WFH structure

@buccocapital When in doubt, bury them with success.

I don’t know how many times it needs to be said If you are an AI loser there is nothing you can do to change the narrative except to accelerate Accelerate or die Maybe the paradigm will magically change. Maybe AI progress will stop. Until that happens? Accelerate or die

Watch @forrester’s Devin Dickerson and MongoDB’s Pete Johnson and Shilpa Kolhar talk about why your data architecture is the real foundation for AI that lasts. In episode 1 of Building the AI Era, you'll hear what actually holds teams back, like: • Why “lift and shift” often carries technical debt forward • Why flexible data models are critical in the AI era • Why leading teams are thinking data-first, not feature-first Watch Episode 1 now! 👉 mongodb.social/6012B6pudA

@bgurley For those of us in Sales, act accordingly.

I fear that AI has decimated the traditional email inbox as we know it. Too many personalized emails slip through spam filter. Hope someone builds a better mousetrap. This one is cooked in its current form.

Use your own lived experience to inform your customer’s experience. Man, I’m flooded by spam…what do think your customer is experiencing? The zone is flooded, act accordingly.

@Jayyanginspires Let it rip!

Nobody's coming to tap you on the shoulder and say, "Hey, it's your turn now." If you want something, you have to go get it.

@CameronSorsby Was out picking weeds with my 6 & 7 year old. Minute 1 they are picking grass, minute 3 they can identify 3-5 different types of weeds and do it independently (and excited to do it). Just need coaching and reinforcement!

Teens are capable. Don’t hold them back.

@packyM Epic, doing this for my kids next year!

We almost got him. Next year.

@eddiejaoude Probably a lesson in there 😉 Congrats on your successful launch!

I love building tools that I use myself! Great satisfaction!

@davidsenra @pmarca I loved that you tried to get him to be introspective in the interview and he immediately shut it down.

Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.

@tengyuma Take us there!

Maybe the hardest job in 10 years will be to train humans to be super-AI rather than train AI to be super-human. Academia💪!! But .., one needs to believe this task is feasible, and this job itself is not replaceable by AI ... 😂

@eddiejaoude Tool. No need to personify AI. 🤖

Do you see AI as a tool or as a colleague?
