@ColinGardiner Who are you again? Content?

Been reviewing how the majority of founders have heard about me and near 100% have read my content before even if they got an intro. Super important reminder to just keep creating great content and the rest will mostly take care of itself.

@grahamkmann What’s the benefit you see from this consolidated memory? Do you see a step up in the quality of the answers you are getting for your project management?

“This clown wants to make France an AI leader with €30M.” €30 million → to attract and support around forty top-tier international researchers. They chose France for its values and its commitment to science. Sometimes it’s too slow… €54 billion → mobilized as early as 2022 to build France 2030. A France that advances health, climate, and fundamental science by investing boldly in artificial intelligence. Over €100 billion → in private investment announced at the Paris AI Summit by French and international companies to develop AI in France. That’s it? #1 → In 2025, France ranked first among countries attracting foreign investment to build data centers. More billions invested in our regions and in our talent. Yes. Here in France, we believe in science. And AI is here to elevate, to build, to move the world forward, not to insult. 🙊 #ForSure

Got reminded this week: when something really matters, nothing gets me into Flow like the right music playlist. Thanks @Spotify, you rock 🤘

@sabakarimm Are you a troll? No way!

Meta acquired Cluely what

The more reps I get in life and work, the clearer it becomes. It’s all about people. Wins, losses, everything. Note to self: Be good at people. Feeling lucky about the folks around me.

@davidbessis The debate of “nature vs nurture” is such an easy trap. Thanks for this well-researched analysis of underlying data sets that gave me context to have a point of view back by data. Fantastic article and eye-opening on biases in data interpretations! Now onto your book! :)

What I found: not only is the slide misleading, but the whole trope around "twins separated at birth" being a viable scientific strategy is broken beyond repair. Full story here: davidbessis.substack.com/p/twins-reared…

This viral post by @paulg was based on a visual by @cremieuxrecueil. Taken at face value, it seemed to prove that IQ is almost entirely determined by genes. But when you look at the actual sources, you realize that this conclusion is fundamentally wrong.⤵️

@SatchelRage @fallacyalarm @typesfast The level of hypocrisy here is amazing So you set your house at 50F? You like living at 50F? Just say “I grew up with Fahrenheit and this is the system i understand, not the other one” that’s that easy

Fahrenheit is objectively better than Celsius. This can be easily demonstrated by taking a group of people mixed between Americans and Europeans and asking them to estimate the ambient temperate. Fahrenheit users are always more accurate in this exercise. Try it!

@fallacyalarm @typesfast So… 50 is perfect on your scale? :)

@typesfast who cares about the freezing and boiling point of water? much better to say how warm is it on a scale between 0 (very cold day) and 100 (very warm day).

Great question. I don’t believe that there is more satisfaction, although I see more explicit pride shared for having been part of the achievement of finishing a service or a project together as a team. Finishing something tangible gives a clear ‘end’ to a project or collaboration, and also most of the time you work on one single project at a time. However in my experience, working in these fields isn’t a choice for most people. Since I have the chance to see both regularly, I’m reminded of the chance this is to have the choice to choose your own adventure.

@clementc Never having worked in either, is there strongest satisfaction to go with the hard work, building, feeding?

A quiet realization I keep coming back to: some of the hardest workers in the US are in construction and restaurants. Long days, real pressure. Curious how often we stop to notice that.

@clementc I am surprised I only offended one French person

You just can’t get a better cup of coffee. Went with an “Eiffel Power French Vanilla” and two Coffee mate French Vanilla creamers. Very elevated and reminds me of my trips to Paris. Glad we can get authentic and high-quality European coffee like this in the U.S.

@yesadok Any referral? What happened at the best offsite you’ve done? Looking for inspiration

@clementc Start with referrals - trusted agents save time and headaches on big trips.

Looking for a travel agent to price / organize a large team offsite. Any suggestions?

@Jeanroudy Teamout sounds like what happens after a 3-day offsite + open bar. Did you use them before?

@clementc Did you try teamout?

@pdmsero @bswud This is literally the first article I started to read when opening the magazine. So good.

There are many brilliant little vignettes throughout the print edition of the Works in Progress magazine, but its most striking feature is its beauty. As much as digitisation has uncomplicated our lives, surrounding ourselves with beautiful physical objects remains underrated.

New happy place unlocked: 1 hour, one coffee, and @WorksInProgMag from @stripepress. If you’re ever stuck on a gift for the holidays for a curious friend: this subscription is the answer.

@roxannevarza Yup, that's completely correct and something unique to France in my experience. Whenever French founders come to the US to pitch, this is always something that gets mentioned.

Realized that often in France many people include their age when they introduce themselves "je suis X et j'ai 35 ans .." ..is this a thing elsewhere? I know so many people's ages 😅

@sabakarimm There was this wild consumer app... 🙃

When was the last time you made an investment and were like I don't entirely get it, but I know they do, I'm in?
