@bryan_caplan sir this tweet is a guardrail

I oppose guardrails for awesome new technologies. Instead, I favor guardrails for the people who build guardrails for awesome new technologies. They're the ones with a terrible track record of derailing progress.

@tferriss ok but this tweet is trying to please everyone

While there are many behaviors needed to guarantee high output, there is one single behavior guaranteed to prevent all output: trying to please everyone.

read a book on boundaries. my mom borrowed it.

@APompliano stock's at $12

I take a $1 salary at $BRR as the CEO. I have no guaranteed cash bonus or equity grant as leader of the business. My personal compensation as CEO is 100% performance-based. I get my first equity grant at $15/share. More CEOs should be paid this way. Lots of work to do!

@garyvee year 20 of being pumped: divorced, hoarse, still posting

I know people making $8 million a year that are fucking miserable and hate their life. and I have friends who make $67,000 a year, loving life.. four softball teams and love it. I don’t give a fuck how much money you make. Do you feel pumped as fuck when you wake up??

Presenting Zero 🌐 Our most ambitious launch yet 🚀 Designed with the incredible team at @zero_university, including @pixelandpump. More soon. 👀

@sindhur_dutta @zero_university Thanks for bringing our vision to life! More people need to know about you. 🙌

Here's a breakdown of the animation reference we created for @zero_university waiting list website. It was a creative reference film we built to explore the visual direction before development started. We went through a lot of ideas, references, and iterations before landing on this concept. From the beginning, the goal was simple: don't think about development constraints first. Push the visuals as far as we could, then refine and adapt them into something that could work for the website. I had the chance to bring this sequence to life alongside an incredibly talented team. Looking back, it's still one of my favorite collaborations. This was before AI became a core part of our workflow, so every frame came from conversations, experimentation, and a lot of craft. It was pure collaboration between creative minds, and I still love the energy this project carries.

@Rasheemhamsa @zero_university Maybe we should do a BTS

@pixelandpump I'm super excited to see what you guys have been cooking

Growing up middle-class in India meant lunch and dinner came with a side of Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Kasautii Zindagii Kay. Every meal, The thunder, The zooms, The same shot repeated three times from 17 angles. I didn't choose that drama but I did absorb it. It's been living in my brain cells ever since. Second order effects of one television for the whole family & the remote was never yours as a kid. Never thought I'd say this publicly, but it turned out to be an asset. While building the Zero site, we needed one moment of absolute, unexpected shock. A transition where the whole screen flips. The brief we gave ourselves was contrast, and the harder we pushed it, the further apart the two worlds had to grow. Scene A kept inching closer to euphoria. Scene B kept getting darker, heavier, more dramatic. We explored every direction we could think of. Nothing hit hard enough. So I asked myself where I'd actually felt that kind of shock before. The answer was embarrassing and obvious at the same time: my childhood trauma aka the daily soaps. The first thing we added was the sound. You know the one. Every millennial who's eaten dinner in an Indian living room knows the one. And the sound unlocked the visual: shattering glass. The flashes, the shock, the full dramatic vocabulary we grew up absorbing without consent. Those shards became the UI base, each piece carrying the data and the facts supporting the narrative. Sound to glass. Glass to data. A whole website moment, traced back to mom's TV hours. I’d never accept this again but 10 years of daily soaps finally paid off.

@garyvee year 20 of gary judging the judgers

The judgment today’s society deploys on a daily basis is staggering … I am stunned by how many have “takes” on people they have never meet ..

@garyvee year 12 of "it doesn't happen overnight

Everything takes longer than you think. No matter how fast or hard you work, it doesn't happen overnight.
