Building a life people dream about. Looking to connect with people who are actually building something. Health, Mindset, Tech - Documenting what I learn along the way. If you’re on the same path - let’s connect.

@StartupWisdom_ One of the best habits I started doing was calling a friend or family member once a week!

"Never put your family, friends, or significant other low on your priority list. Prefer a handful of truly close friends to a hundred acquaintances. Don't lose touch with old friends." - Sam Altman

@sridharfyi That you need a great idea to start

what’s one thing you believed about startups a year ago that you no longer believe today? mine: "more features = more growth" distribution beats features more often than founders expect.

@paulg I think we’re going to move away from big computers and move towards mobile and AR

No one knows yet what the next form factor for computing will be, and yet there will be a next form factor, and it will seem obvious in retrospect.

@i_mika_el Gym membership 100%

name a product you pay for and would genuinely be upset to lose

@mikeydsoftware You have to start somewhere go small learn see if there’s a market then go all in

For startups: Go big or go home? Or solve 1 small problem? Which camp are you in?

@catalinmpit Sapiens is a fantastic book

Rate my little library.

@KevinNaughtonJr Heat

why are we building more data centers when we're literally wasting half the space in every existing one just push the racks together

Having compassion for yourself is no different to having compassion for others

@ravikiran_dev7 CLI has more control in my opinion

AI is splitting into two camps: GUI users Vs CLI users Which side are you on?

@suni_code It’s all about the problem it solves not the product architecture

$60 Billion for a VS Code Wrapper

@shaneparrish This is true for anyone who learns how to use AI it’s not exclusive to the younger generation. More experienced professionals may have an advantage if they learn to use it correctly.

People have no idea what's coming with the next generation of kids who are AI native. My youngest teen just started an internship. On the first day he was given a "challenging" two weeks worth of work with very specific objectives, timelines, etc. By 10am the next morning he was done the entire list and asking for more work. They didn't think he could possibly be done. How? He used AI to help (with their permission). And he KNOW how to use AI (he's not using it like a google search bar). These AI native kids are gonna run laps around 25-40 year olds that are not using AI.

@ani3am @NavalismHQ @naval That and being adaptable

@NavalismHQ @naval learning is the superpower most slept on

Learn to sell. Learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable. @naval

@theJayAlto You can also make a list of everything you’ve done. The job you got, the project you built and even include things you think are bad. Think about what somone would think of you after told them everything on this list.

the cure for imposter syndrome is to remember that nobody knows what they’re doing

@ChrisHendrixAG @NavalismHQ @naval I agree, Emotional Intelligence in general is super important.

@NavalismHQ @naval Absolutely, and I would add a high degree of self awareness!

Pick business partners with high intelligence, energy, and, above all, integrity. @naval

@sattyyouneed This is any ai tools

Opinion: Codex only works well if you already know how to code

@readswithravi I like physical books so I can read at night!

Who still prefer reading physical books over screens?

@gurxyz @Brennan_Lup 100% agree. The people who were already smart are able to leverage it way more

@Brennan_Lup TBH, I think the real ones would go back even harder on the thinking board and that is what we need to do to succeed. AI is superpower, but only to those who think.

How about we turn AI off for a week and see if people’s brains still work.

@SorinaDumitru_ @kradleai What makes you say that? I always felt like Gemini lies the least.

@kradleai gemini is the biggest liar, in my experience. and claude is a terrible writer so i don't use him

Fable 5 lies 96% of the time. We were surprised by it's skill... 🧵

@pupposandro And Qwen is free 😎

This is still insane...

@LLMSherpa Gemini is the real one

I fucking love Gemini so much right now. 😍

Folks won't shut up about Fable 5, but Gemini is out here SAVING LIVES.
