In case you wonder why the podcast is currently paused: we have a 6-month-old and my podcast editor is also his mom :) Priorities!
We’ll resume soon. Got a few juicy stories to tell.

@gregisenberg the personalized medicine timeline is the one im most impatient for. everything else feels solvable, that one feels like magic
English
I recently ran into Demis, founder of DeepMind
I was with a friend who's part of a group living with autoimmune disorders
Demis: personalized medicine with minimal side effects is coming in 10 years or less
The most exciting use case of AGI is ending suffering for billions.

@kateirwin means a lot 🙏 genuinely built it because that 5% made me irrationally angry too
English
tried using PayPal to receive money from someone outside the US who doesn’t use crypto and it was the worst experience
5% gone in fees just to convert the currency
should be illegal

1 in 3 adults under 35 still live with their parents.
Everyone calls it a motivation problem. It's a math problem. The old financial system quietly stopped working for the people just entering it.

@paulg grand and vague is where you start, precise and small is where you ship. the whole job is walking between them
English
An initial startup idea can't usually be both grand and precise. In practice they're usually either grand and vague or precise and small. Precise and small is better. You know who your initial users are, and you expand outward. With grand and vague you can't even get started.

@arampell @illscience the grind was always the moat. if agents remove it, taste becomes the only bottleneck left
English
Great essay by my partner @illscience:
"For most of history, the bottleneck on making something was never the idea, it was the grind: acquiring the years of skill, raising the money, assembling the team, and getting the permission. So most people’s best ideas died inside them, unmade. Lift that bottleneck and the thing that decides what gets built is no longer whether people can justify the VC funding or the enterprise-level capital expenditure, but who has something to say."

@arvidkahl the sleeper benefit nobody predicted. agents wont build without tests so people finally have them
English
Overall, agentic engineering will improve overall codebase quality.
People test now. They document.
And while it’s easier to build a product now, existing codebases will also be hardened, optimized, and improved.
So in the end, not too much of a threat for established SaaS.

@nikitabier the mutuals graph is the real graph. everything good on here still comes from the people who follow you back
English
We're rolling out a small tweak to boost visibility of your posts to your mutuals (people who you follow back).
We noticed this data was missing from the algo and it made your friends appear less in your replies. This resulted in the reply section feeling more like a battleground with people you don't recognize.
This should also help clusters form around interests more easily, which many people have asked for.

Newly funded neobank projects I’m most excited about:
@ground_onchain: API infrastructure for fintechs to embed onchain yield and asset management.
@Daya_HQ: Neobank focused on the African market.
@sovra_money: All-in-one crypto fintech for saving, spending, and earning
paypercut.com: European fintech payment solution with a unified dashboard for billing, payouts, and multi-currency settlements.
@getdidit: Unified API for KYC, KYB, AML, biometrics, transaction monitoring, and fraud prevention.
What's missing?
English
Nobody asks IF money moves onchain anymore.
The only question left is who holds yours when it does.
That's the question we built VaultLeap to answer.

@Cointelegraph hours to seconds is cfo language. corporate treasury will quietly onboard more dollars to these rails than retail ever did
English
🚨 JUST IN: Hyundai completed a cross-border corporate treasury pilot using Tether’s USDT on Avalanche, cutting settlement times from hours to an average of 7 minutes.

@dwr the maze eats timing bets. a right insight five years early is indistinguishable from a wrong one

@Complex @British_Airways imagine losing a bet so bad you have to temporarily become british airways
English

“While the tournament is over for us, this friendly bet will forever live in all our hearts We wish England and @british_airways all the best in the semi-final, and we sincerely hope you'll get to bring football home!”

@eglyman @BrevilleUSA strong toast opinions are a leadership quality
English
In case anyone is wondering, @BrevilleUSA is not paying me. I just have strong views on toast.
David Senra@davidsenra
.@tobi removed all the Norman doors from Shopify’s offices because he couldn’t have excellent people surrounded by bad design. Ramp Cofounder @eglyman says he learned the same lesson by studying Breville toasters: “ If you care about design, you should buy a Breville toaster.” “ One of the big problems in a lot of B2B software is: it starts out clean and elegant. There's a bunch of businesses who love the product and they start serving more customers and have more requirements and more ideas.” “Before you know it, you end up with these disasters of B2B softwares which require a PhD to learn how to use.” “ If you were to go ask people, ‘What do you want in a toaster or in a microwave?’ They might say I like toast but sometimes I want to reheat pizza. I should have a ‘reheat frozen pizza’ mode. Or maybe you're cooking stuff and want it to be more like an oven, or you want to make popcorn and it's a toaster/microwave and all these things.” “Before you know it, you end up with these toasters filled with buttons and buttons and knobs and dials.” “That is literally asking customers what they want and building exactly that.” “ if you watch people toast things, what they actually do falls into two categories: you hit start and either you've undercooked the toast and need to put it back in, or you've overdone it and have to start over.” “If you look at the [Breville] there are only a few buttons. One of the four buttons is called ‘A Bit More.’” “ No one would ask you for ‘A Bit More.’ They just want the perfect level of toast and it's hard to know that, so they built that in.”
