I don’t think the normal person realizes how autistic and difficult this is
A sub 3 marathon… ON A TRACK
Insane

I started worrying I was getting soft lately… Woke up and decided to suffer with a marathon on the track. 105.5 laps. - Final Time: 2:56:16 - 6:42 Average Pace - No Stops or Breaks That was hard. Mental torture. Confirmed still a dog.

@BoringBiz_ $2M isn't a lot, but the earliest years form the unconscious mind of kids (see Gabor Mate). Really short-sighted to miss those years. I'd pivot into a CFO role at a F500 or a cushy small company to keep the pay up + insurance and work on a side hustle to tap into upside.

Recently grabbed coffee with a senior VP at a very well-known private equity firm
Well above $2M in net worth. Not enough to fully retire but can walk away for a better work life balance if he wants to
Just had a kid few months ago and now struggling to decide between continuing this career path or shifting to something that would let him spend more time with family
I asked him what is keeping him at the current firm, beyond just money
His answer was simple: "Insecurity. I might look back in 10 years and feel bad knowing that my friends are buying their second vacation homes while I walked away to chase an easier life. Whatever job or title I have next would not earn me the same respect"
That is when it really hit me
A lot of people stay in high-performing careers, not even because they need the money, but rather because they are used to a certain level of status and respect from people around them
This only gets worse as you move higher up the ladder and start spending time around people at the same level in terms of career or wealth
I asked him if he was okay if I posted this on my X and sought advice on what my followers would do.
He agreed.
So I am genuinely curious: what would you do if you were in his situation?

The dumbest thing you can do is ban videogames for your children. A love of gaming has been essential part of the growth for every tech innovator in modern history: Jensen, Elon, and Sam.
Here's @elonmusk and @sama talking gaming. They were buddies. x.com/i/status/17317…

Just a couple of gamers talking videogames: "Like the old Mario games had incredible story"

Boys, the superiority of Grok4 over GPT5 on general useful perspectives is sick. I just asked both to profile a local French politician. GPT5 gave me a summary of the basic facts about the man, without any perspective. Grok4 gave me an insanely sound analysis of his trajectory, his alliances and his views. Extremely impressively superior. Check my recent tweets for more similar examples. Disclaimer: I am biased.

My tune is changing on $GOOG
They're handling AI search well, and I expect another major overhaul next May, one that delivers a unified, AI-powered Google experience across a single surface.

I just casually had sushi with @alexandr_wang and talked about movies we’ve watched recently.
literally a month ago, I was watching every single podcast with him and wondering how cool it would be to see him in person in SF.

@naval Physicists are poets in disguise - they trace beauty in equations and elegance in entropy.
To see the cosmos from quarks to quasars is to hold infinity in a thought and time in a formula.
