@yangyou @paradigm wow what a run yang! so excited to see what you do next ✨

this week was my last at @paradigm. i feel eternally grateful for this chapter, and all the founders & teams i've gotten to work with. 4 years ago i wouldn't have thought there'd be a place for me at an investment firm, but that fuzzy path became the most rewarding. a few moments that have altered my human algorithm for years to come:

@soleio @ryolu_ @cursor_ai looved this one

First of Kind: The @ryolu_ interview What is the future of design in a post-AI world? Ryo Lu pioneered new patterns for collaboration as Notion’s founding designer. He now leads design at @cursor_ai where he shapes new ways to build software.

@glider_fi @BrianInCrypto @glider_fi 🦇♾️

@BrianInCrypto @mads @mads 🦇♾️

We’ve landed one of the best designers in the space. @mads welcome to the Glider Gang🦇♾️ Design is at the forefront of everything we do at Glider. It builds trust, delights our users, and abstracts complexity. @mads will push our design-first approach to modernize investing

@BrianInCrypto ahh too kind @BrianInCrypto!! huge honor to jam with you and the team. lots more buttery stuff coming - we're just getting started 🦇♾️

@hassaanrza huuge congrats to you and the team hassaan!! :)

The interface of the future is human. We’ve raised a $40M Series B from CRV, Scale, Sequoia, and YC to teach machines the art of being human, so that using a computer feels like talking to a friend or a coworker. And today, I’m excited for y’all to meet the PALs: a new human-computing interface. PALs are emotionally intelligent, multimodal, and capable of understanding and perceiving. They can see, hear, reason, and even look like us. We’re releasing our 5 favorite PALs to start. Each PAL has its own distinct personality- from AI assistants to best friends. PALs: - Meet us where we are. Face-to-face over video call, on the phone, or even by text. - Are always thinking. They’re proactive, reach out first, remind you about what you forgot, or might just check in on you. - Understand us, finally. PALs can see us, understand our tone, emotion, and intent, and communicate in ways that feel more human. - Evolve with you. PALs have advanced memory, remember your preferences and needs, and adapt themselves over time. - Are capable. PALs can handle complex tasks — from responding to your emails to moving your schedule around to creating docs and doing research for you. Science fiction promised us a new human-computer interface, beyond the GUIs of yesterday, a human-like interface that would feel second-nature to use. That future never came, until now. Charlie’s story brings this idea to life. We’re excited for you to meet Charlie and his PALs for free at tavus.io Enjoy the film 👇

@chalaska this is the way

One of my designers has been with me since day one. Every now and then, I quietly bump their monthly rate by $1,000 without telling them. They have never asked for it. There's no formal review process. No negotiation. I do it because: - They are a core part of the team - They consistently deliver - We have a good working relationship Your team is there every day. They're in the trenches with you. How you treat them matters more than any positioning doc or growth strategy.

@pdotcv @linear exceptional work paul. they are lucky to have you

One year @linear

@_bgian huge congrats bobby!!

the real economy runs on calls & texts ...invisible to AI. today, we’re launching beside out of stealth with $32m to rebuild the phone and messages app.

@ekuyda @a16z @saranormous @amasad @akothari @garrytan @justinkan @atShruti @naval @scottbelsky @gokulr @soleio @kevinhartz @wabi super excited about this!! big congrats

Today, we’re thrilled to announce $20M in funding led by @a16z, with support from @saranormous, @amasad, @akothari, @garrytan, @justinkan, @atShruti, @naval, @scottbelsky, @gokulr, @soleio, @kevinhartz and more. @wabi is ushering in a new era of personal software, where anyone effortlessly create, discover, remix, and share personalized mini apps. For 50 years, software was made for people. The next 50, it will be made by people. Just as YouTube unlocked creative power through video, Wabi will unlock creative power through software. The YouTube moment for apps is here. We can’t wait to see what you create.

@joonasvirtanen so good!!

got some questions about the process for making this video in one week start to finish, so here's a lil peek at the storyboarding process!

@bnj @variantui me me me

What do these smell like? One-shotted in @variantui, if you'd like to try we're bringing on a few more beta testers

stop overthinking, start building: the best way to predict the future is to invent it. and the best way to invent is to start building. you can dream all you want. you can think in abstract, map out perfect systems in your head, debate the ideal architecture. but none of that matters until you start making something real. building is like mounding clay. you don't start with the perfect form. you start with a lump. you push, you shape, you feel the resistance. the material talks back. it tells you what works and what doesn't. you learn by doing, not by thinking about doing. with Cursor, the gap between idea and reality is basically zero now. you don't need to know every syntax, every framework, every pattern. you just need to start. Cursor helps you shape the clay. it fills in the gaps. it lets you focus on what you're making, not how to make it. overthinking is just fear dressed up as preparation. you're not getting ready, you're just delaying. the longer you wait, the more you convince yourself it needs to be perfect before you start. but perfect doesn't exist at the beginning. it only emerges through iteration. every great thing you've ever seen started as something rough. the first iPhone was a prototype held together with tape. the first Notion was a clunky tool that barely worked. the first anything was messy. but it existed. and because it existed, it could be improved. so stop planning the perfect app. stop debating the right tech stack. stop waiting for the right moment. just open Cursor and start building. make something bad. make something that barely works. then make it better. then make it better again. the future isn't something you think your way into. it's something you build your way into. one line of code at a time. one iteration at a time. like mounding clay until something beautiful emerges. start today. start now. start messy. just start.

@iansilber @AriX veeery excited to see what this will turn into

stoked to work with this team! welcome @AriX and crew!

@adrianinmotion 🍭

A couple months ago I helped built motion guidelines for Qonto's social ads. Goal: make every ad instantly recognizable in under 2 seconds. Clear rules. Sharp pacing. No fluff. Because consistency is the brand.

@BerntBornich what a time to be alive. congrats bernt and team!

Humanoids were long a thing of sci-fi, then they were a thing of research, but today, with the launch of NEO, humanoids become a product. NEO is the first step on a journey towards a more abundant future and we’re excited for you to join us on this journey. Order your NEO today.

@jasonyuan wow. feels so important and like something only you can build. so excited to see where you take this

I'm starting a new company to go all in on Social Intelligence. This is a deeply personal mission to me, one that feels like the inevitable culmination of everything I've ever worked on. I wrote a manifesto about why:
