Work is not all of life. Your co-workers shouldn’t be your only friends. Schedule life and defend it just as you would an important business meeting. Never tell yourself “I’ll just get it done this weekend.” Review Parkinson’s Law and force yourself to cram within tight hours so your per-hour productivity doesn’t fall through the floor. Focus, get the critical few done, and get out. E-mailing all weekend is no way to spend the little time you have on this planet.

Huge misunderstanding by everyone why companies buy software. Companies don’t want every employee doing every workflow from scratch on their own for every use case. At some point what you’re outsourcing is the ability to not have to think about the business process, and instead let the software provider think about it. Agents don’t change that, and probably if anything exhibit that dynamic even more.

In ecommerce, the auctions will be the reverse, with sellers bidding to be featured in results (or to simply be the thing the agent buys) vía price discrimination and personalized offers. They’ll resemble ad auctions because that’s exactly what they are: ads for AI agents.

SP11’s strongest showing of 2026 🤝 Three races, three checkered flags. The progress is clear and our pace is only getting stronger.

This took 24 minutes Back when I did 12 startups in 12 months in 2014, it took me at least a month to make a new startup and I didn't even finish it And they were in fact as basic as this kind of, because they were MVPs too! If 'd ship every day and I sleep 8 hours I have 24-8=16 hours * 60 minutes = 960 minutes per day. And it takes 24 minutes per startup with AI to build an MVP So theoretically you can build 40 ideas per day, and if you work 6 days a week that's 1,000 per month and about 12,000 per year So a decade later, you can now build 12,000 startups in 12 months

Hola gente ¿queda alguien de la primera camada Twitter 2011?

People asked why I was so blown away by Claude Cowork, so I thought I’d puke some quick thoughts out The true promise of Claude Cowork, and ultimately any sort of agentic, AI powered workflow tool is to realize the perfect embodiment of the organization as described by Peter Drucker, who famously said: “Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two--and only two--basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs” Build the product and generate demand. That’s what drives value. Everything else is a cost If you’ve never worked in a large organization, it’s hard to truly explain how many “costs” there truly are, and how many of those costs are just a coordination tax. Take the launch of a new software product: The business needs to document how the product works, where it breaks and has errors. The support reps need to know how the support it. The onboarding and implementation team need to learn how to set it up. The Account Management team needs to learn how to upsell it and drive value through adoption. The sales team needs to learn how to sell it. The marketing team needs to position it in the marketplace and run campaigns about it. The partner network needs to learn it The amount of coordination, repackaging, enablement, internal distribution etc is. Absolutely. Staggeringly. Enormous. Hundreds of people involved. Thousands at larger businesses. Every one of these businesses have created convoluted templates and processes to document, enable, support, service, and sell Now imagine taking all the market research, customer feedback, data, decisions, positioning, and yes, code, and cascading that automatically through the organization, repackaged using the templates that have already painstakingly been created and refined and honed through hundreds of launches, to the relevant team with the correct context and packaging, directly into the hands of actual internal or external end user That’s the world that just got way, way, way closer to reality. In fact, the main reason it won’t happen any time soon are the people, many of whom will fight tooth and nail against this automation because they will fight like crazy to protect the status quo This is why you are already seeing AI-native startups move so quickly. Because product launches are cascaded through the organization and out to the customer with way less friction than incumbents can ever dream of Incumbents are going to have to whip their companies into the AI era. Their employees will not go willingly. But the future is here, and the startups are moving way, way faster

El desplome de consumo de alcohol los últimos 5 años es tan bestia (cerveza -25% worldwide, vino -12% ww, destilados -10% ww) entre otros, que se está llevando por delante corporaciones históricas como Pernod Ricard (Johnny Walker,Absolut) o Diageo (J&B, Tanqueray o Lagavulin)

I spoke with someone doing $200k+/month from LI and getting 5M+ impressions every month. But he was only collecting 500 email subs/month (less than I was with 10% the impressions). Algo changed and his business tanked. Worth building the list.

POV: you order an Uber Black in Brazil

I have a theory that people that get really hype when they get a client also get borderline depressed when they lose one. Haven't been able to disprove it.
