@JakeNomada El Retiro and Rionegro (especially Llanogrande) is probably where we’ll live once we have a kid. And yes Vermont School is a great option, also take a look at The Columbus School (alto de Las Palmas)

🇨🇴 El Retiro, Antioquia 🇨🇴 Heard interesting things about this mountain town in Colombia over the weekend → 45 min from Medellín, 30 min from the international airport → Sits at 7,500 ft in the Andes. Year-round spring weather. No AC, no heating → Modern apartments rent starts at $700–1,000/mo. Fincas and houses start around $1,500, but luxury options available for $$$ → Safety is a different universe from Medellín. Not zero risk, as it's still Colombia — but light years from big-city stress → Families take note: Vermont School has its main campus right here. IB World School, bilingual (English/Spanish), Mandarin as a third language, preschool through 12th grade. Cognia-accredited US curriculum. One of the strongest international school options in the greater Medellín area Potentially one of the *BEST* places to raise a family in the whole country...

@mgonto @auth0 Muchos growth playbooks que eran muy exitosos en los early days de Auth0 estan cambiando en este momento dados varios fenomenos (tasas de interes altas, AI, remote work mas standard) Como se veria diferente ese escalamiento de Auth0 si los early days de la empresa fueran hoy?

@BarbellFi Agree. This shouldn’t even be a question. Not only for the freedom and avoiding the commute. But because you can choose where to live, therefore control how rich you are by selecting a location that’s more affordable and meets your lifestyle needs

@snowmaker Has this changed your thesis on the ideal YC founder archetype? When everyone can build an MVP, I guess the traction standard must be higher. Are you defaulting less to technical founders right now?

Trends changed forever in 1970 thanks to parallel innovations around computing and the internet. This has happened every 50 years when we get huge tech leaps (electricity, cars, etc). Today this is happening thanks to AI and its parallel innovations

I am fully convinced that 2019 was the last normal year we ever had. Ever since then, it feels like everything’s broken. Everyone is constantly anxious, time moves too fast, and nothing actually feels real anymore. The world as we knew it is just gone

Stripe CEO Patrick Collison: "Software should be like pizza… cooked right then and there at the moment of use." "You don’t want mass-produced industrial scale software. You want bespoke custom software made for you, that moment." "Up until now, the economics of software have been conceived as fixed cost and then infinitely monetized." "Once there are inference costs and custom creation involved, it really shifts. It’s kind of the non-Walrasian software regime." @patrickc with @collision on @tbpn

Bought a new Mac mini to properly tinker with claws over the weekend. The apple store person told me they are selling like hotcakes and everyone is confused :) I'm definitely a bit sus'd to run OpenClaw specifically - giving my private data/keys to 400K lines of vibe coded monster that is being actively attacked at scale is not very appealing at all. Already seeing reports of exposed instances, RCE vulnerabilities, supply chain poisoning, malicious or compromised skills in the registry, it feels like a complete wild west and a security nightmare. But I do love the concept and I think that just like LLM agents were a new layer on top of LLMs, Claws are now a new layer on top of LLM agents, taking the orchestration, scheduling, context, tool calls and a kind of persistence to a next level. Looking around, and given that the high level idea is clear, there are a lot of smaller Claws starting to pop out. For example, on a quick skim NanoClaw looks really interesting in that the core engine is ~4000 lines of code (fits into both my head and that of AI agents, so it feels manageable, auditable, flexible, etc.) and runs everything in containers by default. I also love their approach to configurability - it's not done via config files it's done via skills! For example, /add-telegram instructs your AI agent how to modify the actual code to integrate Telegram. I haven't come across this yet and it slightly blew my mind earlier today as a new, AI-enabled approach to preventing config mess and if-then-else monsters. Basically - the implied new meta is to write the most maximally forkable repo and then have skills that fork it into any desired more exotic configuration. Very cool. Anyway there are many others - e.g. nanobot, zeroclaw, ironclaw, picoclaw (lol @ prefixes). There are also cloud-hosted alternatives but tbh I don't love these because it feels much harder to tinker with. In particular, local setup allows easy connection to home automation gadgets on the local network. And I don't know, there is something aesthetically pleasing about there being a physical device 'possessed' by a little ghost of a personal digital house elf. Not 100% sure what my setup ends up looking like just yet but Claws are an awesome, exciting new layer of the AI stack.

in my exp working on both continents americans dont really work harder. they just talk more about it and make more of a show of it. in both markets you need to filter well when recruiting for hustle but that's also true in the US the main difference is that a larger market leads to stronger hubs that has a ton of compounding effects that benefit outlier behavior more
