Not everything can be done on an iPad.
Sometimes you just need a computer.
The MacBook Neo makes that possible.

AI has literally saved people’s lives.
Technology should solve real problems.
Sometimes that starts with something as simple as scheduling.

@andruyeung You know what they say - “the journey is the reward”

I was supposed to land at Newark last night but instead they kept our plane in a holding pattern for an hour before randomly diverting us to Washington DC at 1:33 am
All while flying with through 54 mph winds with surreal turbulence. It was an exhilarating experience
Apparently 22 other flights diverted to DC that early morning and every single hotel was sold out and train tickets to NYC were $500
They also lost my both my suitcases which added to the thrill
Now I’m on a cramped 6 hour flix bus to New York. In total ~20 hours of commute time
But this feels like a rite of passage of getting to New York City. It can’t be too easy; you have to work for it
Because if you can make it to NYC you can make it anywhere
I hope they find my luggage soon.
English
Nothing bonds a group of founders quite like being stranded in DC at 3am with no plan.
Our flight back from SXSW had to divert to DC after failing to land in New York
Which led to some crazy, sleep-deprived adventures getting the bus back together at 5am:

If you have time to film founder reels all day,
you might have time to build the product.

Over the weekend we had some scheduled maintenance for database upgrades - we did the upgrade and was down for only 31 seconds, which is crazy.
What's even crazier is that I never imagined I'd build an app where being down for 31 seconds is such a big deal to our users

@_maxdshaw I actually built depart.nyc for this same reason - you should definitely check it out

Maybe the toilet is so expensive because according to the door, it’s run by Vercel

In San Francisco, we have 30 freestanding toilets that are available for free public use. They cost the city $14M last year, and recorded 750,000 visits, ~$19 per visit.

My parents spent way too much money on a 3D TV.
They were convinced it was the future because everyone was talking about it.
They bought it.
Used it maybe five times.
Now it's just a regular TV that cost twice as much.
A prime example of chasing hype.
I'm always a skeptic of what's new in tech. We get carried away with so much:
- Web3
- Crypto
- Smart glasses
- 3D TVs
People get very excited about new technology. But is this solving a real problem people care about?
Often what people think is the new big thing doesn't take off.
My parents' 3D TV is sitting in their living room as a reminder: don't buy the hype.

Information that used to cost thousands is now free.
Want to optimize your taxes?
Ask ChatGPT: "I live in New York, how can I reduce my tax burden?"
All the stuff that used to require expensive lawyers or financial advisors? It's accessible now.
AI unlocked expertise that used to take years and cost fortunes.
The barrier to knowledge no longer exists. No more excuses for falling behind.
English
Everyone's saying AI will take over everything.
I don’t buy into that.
AI will change a lot, sure.
Lawyers won't bill as many hours.
Processes will get automated.
Some things are changing, but the world won't be completely transformed.
People get excited about new technology. But often what people think is the new big thing doesn't take off.
In anybody's lifetime, there's been enough cases:
- 3D TVs
- Smart glasses
- Web3
Did they take off? I’m not convinced.
I approach technology with a wary mindset. I know what's realistic and what's not.
AI is a tool.
A powerful one.
But still a tool.
Use it to build your business, but don't get caught up in the hype.
