You have no experience. You’ve never started a company. You’ve never had a full time job. Nike is going to kill you. You’re a kid. You don’t have technical skills. You shouldn’t build hardware. Apple is going to kill you. You can’t build hardware. You can’t measure heart rate non-invasively. Athletes don’t care about recovery. Under Armour is going to kill you. It won’t be accurate. You don’t listen. You’re an ineffective leader. You can’t recruit great talent. You’re going to have to pay every athlete. You can’t measure sleep non-invasively. It’s too expensive to research. Athletes are a small market. The product costs too much to make. The product costs too much to sell. Your valuation is too high. Consumers aren’t going to want it. Hardware is too hard. You should measure steps. Fitbit is going to kill you. You can’t build a marketing engine. You can’t raise enough money. You need a real CEO. Google is going to kill you. You can’t be a subscription. You can’t build a brand. You can’t do consumer in Boston. Your valuation is too high. You shouldn’t make accessories. You shouldn’t make apparel. Lululemon is going to kill you. You can’t predict Covid. Stay in your niche. You are going to run out of money. You can’t build a health platform. Amazon is going to kill you. You can’t measure blood pressure. You can’t get medical approvals. The market is too small. You don’t understand AI. The market is too competitive. It won’t work internationally. The supply chain is too complicated. You can’t build an AI. You can’t raise enough money. It’s too competitive. Healthcare isn’t going to want it. … Just keep going ✌️

UPenn going to march madness btw...🏀

AI career: 1. Get PhD from top school 2. Work for DeepMind/OpenAI/Anthropic for 6 months 3. Quit and start your own neolab with billions in funding 4. Fail to achieve AGI but retire rich

Wow the amount of messy code in the world was already bad and vibe coding made it 10x. Fixing other people's code will be the new meta, not writing your own.

Guys please don't waste your time learning math, calculators came out! 😂

Computer Science ≠ Software Engineering FYI

You take all those APs and SATs in high school… just to end up staring at LeetCode for three hours straight.

@paulg I got a 760/800 (99th percentile) on English. Not much of a reader. The grammar section is about following rules. The reading is about finding evidence. Didn't feel like it tested you much on reading quantity/quality rather just how many practice tests you brute forced.

Your social status ≈ your college. Your college ≈ your SAT score. Your SAT score ≈ your SAT English score. Your SAT English score ≈ how much you've read. ∴ Your social status ≈ how much you read in high school. (Successive ≈s leak a lot, but still rather surprising.)

Vibe coding leetcode problems...

$20 billion in unrealized loses.

Weak economy → tight credit → forced selling. 📉 In that environment, even “safe” assets get sold for cash. BTC, gold, and silver falling together usually signals liquidity stress, not a broken hedge. Cash wins first. Hard assets win later. 💵

@MayankBhat88094 @Telegraph Many financial firms analyze and deal with the healthcare and biotech sector where a background in biology can be very useful.

@Telegraph Why will banks hire a biology graduate for finance jobs?

On paper, Ollie Kettle appears to be the ideal candidate for a competitive work experience placement. The 21-year-old achieved straight A grades at A-level and is predicted to graduate with a first-class degree in biology from the University of Bath this summer. But last year, at the end of his second year of university, he applied for more than 120 summer internships in banking and finance – and did not secure a single one.

Just watched my friend discover vibe coding and declare bankruptcy on the same day. 😭 Bro started with “I’ll just test a few prompts” and ended with no shirt, no groceries, and a Stripe receipt that looks like a phone number.

@sagharborcap To be fair both VC metrics and DCF are pseudo science anyways. Plug in assumptions to get an assumption over a assumption time span.

I asked my boy in VC to walk me through a DCF and he had a stroke

Insertion Sort Coded Up 💻 def insertionSort(arr): for i in range(1, len(arr)): j = i - 1 while (j >= 0 and arr[j] > arr[j+1]): tmp = arr[j+1] arr[j+1] = arr[j] arr[j] = tmp j -= 1 return arr

4 Pillars of OOP

@rohanpaul_ai That’s because for university grads programming will just be the norm not the exception. Read, write, math and program will be the new motto going forward.

"Learning to program was so obviously the right thing in the recent past. Now it is not." ~ Sam Altman on skill to survive the AI era. Now you need High agency, soft skills, being v. good at idea generation, adaptable to a rapidly changing world

@E_Bruxxx UIUC maybe UT Austin?

Universities producing elite hard tech talent: Georgia Tech CMU MIT Michigan Caltech Who did I miss?

Serious Question btw.

Is there even any point in learning System Design unless you have 150+ LeetCode problems done and some serious projects under your belt?
