@MostlyMonkey Great advice! and the longer you stay in prestige seeking optionality maximizing roles the lower your optionality becomes to do anything else because you are too expensive and low exp to hire as a head of a function and you wont chose anything less.

Not really a comment on this post in particular - but a piece of general advice to younger people is: being long optionality, in investing or in life, is incredibly costly over time. Consulting is one of those "extend optionality" careers.

@GabbbarSingh 100% I did 36+ hours Delhi to Blr in general class with out ticket in the month of April. Just 15 years ago!

You will appreciate what life has to offer much better if you ever made a 36+ hr journey in 2nd class sleeper across India in peak summers. If by any chance you fall asleep, the seat sticks to your skin. You are forever short of water, the window is like a 21 inch hair dryer. You wish to splash your face with water for some respite, the water in the sink is boiling. The only respite is the guys moving around with buckets with icy water, with an assortment of cold drink bottle submerged in it, sold at the rate of an arm & a leg. You settle for a chilled Frooti. It tastes so godly that you write about it on Twitter 20 years later :)

@Pivot2Centre Sydney to Gold Coast & Melbourne to Port Fairy

From Vancouver to San Diego- Pacific coast remains undefeated Very few parallel of such natural beauty! IMO, 2nd and 3rd are Banff to Jasper and Australia Gold Coast

@ParkerOrtolani Killer use case!

I can’t wait for screen-less Apple glasses because the best thing about Meta Ray-bans is using them as open earbuds so you can still participate in the world when out and about. Almost certain Apple will make a point of marketing them that way.

@MECEMike They still mean a fair deal if you had a stellar resume pre MBA, otherwise not an astronomical deal. In both cases, RoI remains questionable. Know a few Goog/OAI early PMs who dropped out of GSB in the last two years.

Complete nonsense. HBS and GSB mean nothing anymore, and their students are all begging for jobs. These degrees should be pursued pretty much exclusively if you came from a dead-end job (i.e., Walmart FP&A pencil pusher) or were in the military. - someone admitted to both

Incredible @paultoo predicted this 16 years ago, and this is exactly how it has played out!

@rendalkoy @bvlldhist_alt Because this is how it has worked for the last 30 years. MBBs don’t need 2 years of Software Engineer at Pataka.AI work experience. They want young smart grinders who would grind as and when told.

the indian mba scene is so funny because why are you expecting shortlists for a consulting role as an engineer with zero work experience, in fact why are we allowing people with no work experience to pursue an mba anyway 😭

@Variety You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Elon Musk is bashing Christopher Nolan for #TheOdyssey casting, alleging the director cast Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy because he “wants the awards.” In additional X posts, Musk re-tweeted posts that mocked Elliot Page’s masculinity and claimed that Nolan was stomping all over Homer’s grave because of his casting choices. variety.com/2026/film/news…

@signulll iPhone, Pixel, S26, Fold 7 and a Flip 7 for me!

i carry around 3 iphones to test out our product with lots of accounts & every time someone looks at me they think i stole them or i’m a giant weirdo. you *must* taste the dish before it leaves the kitchen.

@Ronitper Literally 90% of Shark Tank!

“Kids of Indian billionaires are making fancy ice-creams and cookies and call themselves startups.” “There’s growth in Semiconductors and AI, what do Indians want to do, sell ice-creams or chips?” - Piyush Goyal. April 2025. And now we have Vantara Ice-creams by Ambanis 🤷🏻‍♂️

@makenicerhombus They do have Tramsheds in Sydney though

Remembering when I went to Sydney and asked someone where the tram is and he corrected me and said "light rail"

@syduncovered 💙 1 Martin Place 💙 so many memories of grabbing sandwich by these stairs and watching people go by!

Happy Monday! ☀️

@onthebass well actually nah, I would love to keep Sydney the way it is. We don’t need another San francisco 🙂

What if Australia future-proofed its economy and built the tools that will change the world? disclaimer: I don't condone development of the Botanical Gardens 😉 #BuildAustralia #ai #sydney

@JamesSchladt Volvo’s native GMaps interface was one of the reasons I loved my XC60 so much!

New Volvos come equipped with Gemini and GMaps. Also noticed the same w GM vehicles. Google is doing many things under the surface that will lock in consumers and help them better understand user intent.

@signulll theorizing it and putting it together in a product are two vastly different things!

the current set of photo products (apple photos or google photos) are so deeply broken that it’s no longer even funny. when you really think about it photos are the densest behavioral corpus most ppl own from locations, ppl, food, relationships, health, taste, regressions, & moods but the dominant ui is still grid of shit ton of squares sorted by time. apple/google have nibbled at this w/ memories & face clustering but it’s all decorative. nobody is treating the library as a layer for understanding the person. that’s a huge huge opportunity for an ai native experience. obviously non trivial to do well, but it’ll be fun to push boundaries here.

@howardlindzon long $AAPL & long $GOOG and go to sleep.

I can get more for my mac mini than my liver long $aapl
