@Will_McKelvey there’s a metaphor here

Brutalism can be beautiful

@draken1721 @NASAAmes @NASAHubble they’re quoting a taylor swift song

@NASAAmes @NASAHubble nasa dropping poetry now apparently

One single thread of gold tied me to you 💫 Seen here by @NASAHubble is NGC 7714, a spiral galaxy located about 100 million light-years from Earth. The golden haze is made up of millions of stars stretching from the galaxy’s center and bridging to a nearby galactic companion.

@NASAAmes @NASAHubble nasa 🤝 swifties

There’s a lot of alpha in putting your ego aside by being willing to be cringe, willing to fail in public, willing to ask for what you want and face rejection, etc.

@joevc @LererHippeau @mother__tech 🤣🤣🤣

I think we need to update the @LererHippeau website with new team photos from @mother__tech's Degen AI. degen.online/gen/a75d2679-9…

cred: @chartrdaily

the industrial revolution made goods abundant. ai will do the same for services

@imjaredz @cognition @promptlayer Congrats!! 🎉

Huge update.. I joined @Cognition I’m so incredibly proud of what we built at @PromptLayer. Although it feels a little surreal, I know the team is left in amazing hands. I’ll be staying on as an advisor and can’t wait to see where they take it. We started PromptLayer four years ago, and we practically coined the term “prompt engineering”. ChatGPT had come out weeks prior. Nobody knew exactly how LLMs would evolve, but we did know it will completely change the way we build. We were the first developer platform for this new type of builder. Cognition feels like an extension of this vision. Devin is how this new builder will imagine, invent, and create. We're entering the age of software abundance, to steal a term from @scottwu46 Everything is Coding Agents. It’s the single biggest problem in AI. Cognition is one of the fastest growing companies ever. But I think the team is what really sold it for me- it's packed with so many former founders Excited to share more soon...

@GregAndrewsBurn @BalesBets okay but we're splitting it @BalesBets 🫡

@VCMadeleine @BalesBets I’m owed a finders fee if this ever leads anywhere :)

i’ve been thinking about a concept I’m calling Barbell Distribution. many of the most valuable companies cluster at two GTM extremes - and the middle is getting squeezed...

@GregAndrewsBurn @BalesBets Followed

@VCMadeleine Barbell distribution you say? By god that’s @BalesBets music

@del_vol Ideally this reaches the audience it is meant for

The overwhelming majority of people on X have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about which I suspect was part of the reason why you posted it in the first place.

what connects both extremes: distribution that can’t be replicated by writing a bigger check. PLG wins because the product spreads itself. niche/complex wins because credibility and the relationship - or even product development - took years. in both cases, more money alone doesn’t buy growth

the middle - hybrid enterprise sales - is enormously valuable (Databricks, Rippling, Ramp). but it’s where growth investors pour capital into repeatable outbound motions. at seed, signal is often weakest and entry math is hardest...

@sonikat_27 Let me know who you include that proves to be helpful!

@VCMadeleine need to try this out
