@JayaGup10 You might know about C3.ai from the billboards, but doesn’t seem to be helping performance. Clickup, salesforce/Mercedes, Airbnb, iphone, Vanta…I can quickly recall brands that use billboards which is something

Have SF billboards moved the meter for any tech companies

@mntruell Let’s gooo! Congrats

Excited to partner with the SpaceX team to scale up Composer. A meaningful step on our path to build the best place to code with AI.

@joshpuckett @JacobyBrandon @netspencer Love my endurance. Bought it as my first road bike, have done 10k miles on it & have no desire to upgrade. It’s the perfect level of starter bike that you’ll be happy with if you really get into it

@JacobyBrandon @netspencer typo*: I meant my Giant bike is comparable to a Canyon Endurance bike

if one were to get into cycling, where would one start?

My career really accelerated once I was in a stable long-term relationship. It gave me a level of support and calm that made it easier to put real focus into the work I loved.

Waiting for Ramp to launch their IDE

@FitFounder Zwift - incredible for efficient cardio sessions

What's one of the best purchases you've made for your health this year?

@friedberg @elonmusk 100%, I only drive manually when I need to text. It’s counter intuitive

@elonmusk the only reason i drive my tesla manually is to text and email.. FSD won’t let me!

💯

@GammaApp has the most specific job descriptions I’ve ever seen. They know exactly what they’re looking for in candidates.

@elonmusk @elonmusk when I talk with Grok in my 26 model Y, grok picks up on the turn signal noise and it stalls the conversation. Plz fix

Try Grok!

This new law enforcement sobering center marks a fundamental change in San Francisco: If you do drugs on our streets, we will arrest you. And with this new resource, we will give you a real chance to enter recovery.

Lots of other good details about how the nature of coding changes and who adopts usage. HT @jamescham Paper: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Some pretty eye-opening data on the effect of AI coding. When Cursor added agentic coding in 2024, adopters produced 39% more code merges, with no sign of a decrease in quality (revert rates were the same, bugs dropped) and no sign that the scope of the work shrank. Big impact.

@_sonith If parents have high conscientiousness, you’re likely to follow suit however; a random heartbreak, coach who believes in you, teach who developed you, multiplicatively positive friend group, random speaker at a college event who makes an intro- these events strongly shape ya

@_sonith Assumes conscientiousness is a trait that’s controllable. I got deep into this a while back , tldr found that ~half of conscientiousness is inherited, other half is unique to you from random/unique life experiences plus random biological variation (see Minnesota twin studies)

Anyone can get what they want in the long run. Here's a short essay on my thoughts: sonith.org/Essays/70

@KyleAsay_ “Hey I saw you liked my LinkedIn post, want to buy my software” *stops liking LinkedIn posts*

If it’s scalable, it won’t work well for pipeline generation. I’m very bearish on the future of all these AI GTM tools that are trying to make everything “effortless and scalable” They are really just making everything ignorable.

@Passive_Builder @davidasinclair Can we actually?

@davidasinclair sure but blaming the start ignores we can rewrite the script anytime

Childhood is where longevity begins. Early-life environment reprograms our epigenome, altering how fast we age

@benjaminakar Too busy closing deals

my biggest realization this year is that most people making real money don’t talk loud online

@jasonlk The Max Freeman special

So there’s a lot of angst on social media (esp LinkedIn) about CROs and VPs of Sales getting fired. But let give tell you a tip: maybe go SMB. What do I mean? I see so many of the top sales leaders that started SMB stay 6, 7, 8+ years at leading tech companies in VP and CRO level roles. Again and again and again. Why? You just get more at bats, more chances. If you sell $3k deals, to hit a $600k quota, that’s 200 deals. Per rep. If you manage even a tiny team, that still can be 1000s of deals a year. You get better — fast — if you care. 1000s deals is a lot. Compare that to coming in as a CRO at a solely enterprise play that’s still early. You might work on just a few deals really at a time, with long sales cycles. You might never get a chance to truly learn. And if even a few push, sales might even go down under your watch at first. SMB sales really can lead to longevity if you keep at it. You just get so, so many at bats. So quickly.

How does Strava not own the IRL event market. Seems so obvious to have a take on all running events via facilitating signups.
