Never thought stealth mode was so fun. I've always been fan of marketing from day one, till now.. What I learned: if you first start w/ marketing, you build a brand not a product, but stealth mode allows you build a decent MVP rather than a flimsy one and hide it w/ brand.

President Ursula von der Leyen officially announced the EU–INC today at Davos! A single legal entity for all European founders to grow massive companies in Europe. Online incorporation in 48 hours. No more bureaucratic mess across European borders. All of you made this happen!

Very important step. Building infrastructure.

AI agents will be a big part of how we shop in the not-so-distant future. To help lay the groundwork, we partnered with Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair, Target and Walmart to create the Universal Commerce Protocol, a new open standard for agents and systems to talk to each other across every step of the shopping journey. And coming soon, UCP will power native checkout so you can buy directly on AI Mode and the @Geminiapp.

@paulaguti_12 I feel you. After living in SF for 7 yrs and coming back to Barcelona. It's feels the same...

London is years behind SF. Madrid is not even in the game. I came back to Madrid from YC, after 5 years abroad, and I’ve been meeting people to build a hiring pipeline: Students with ambition, who want to build, who want something beyond consulting or finance in London.

This 2011 lecture from Jensen Huang at Stanford University will teach you more about business than a 2 year MBA

Exciting expansion! @Waymo now serves the whole SF Bay Area Peninsula from SF to San Jose and is taking riders on freeways. waymo.com/blog/2025/11/t…

BREAKING: Google just announced AI data centers in space, powered by TPUs—launching 2027 Project Suncatcher: Solar-powered satellites at 650km altitude running AI workloads directly from the Sun. The physics advantages are definitive—8× more solar capture with no atmosphere or nighttime, vacuum cooling that eliminates 40% of ground data center costs, and radiation-hardened TPUs tested to 15× mission requirements. Google’s launching two satellites early 2027, each carrying four TPUs to prove it works.

Paul Graham’s recipe for doing great work:

It’s a privilege to welcome Windsurf to Cognition. Here are more details in the note I sent to our Cognition team this morning: Team, As discussed during our all-hands, we are acquiring Windsurf. We have now signed a definitive agreement and we couldn’t be more excited. Here’s a recap and, again, this information is highly confidential until 11am PT, after Windsurf’s all-hands. The Windsurf team deserves to hear this from Jeff and me in the right way, so please keep everything quiet in the interim out of respect for our new colleagues. So, what exactly is the deal? With this acquisition, Cognition will own Windsurf’s beloved product and strong business: -The Windsurf IDE, now with full access to the latest Claude models -Windsurf's IP, including their trademark and the strong brand they have built -$82M of ARR and a fast-growing business, with enterprise ARR doubling quarter-over-quarter -A user base that includes 350+ enterprise customers and hundreds of thousands of daily active users Above all, we are welcoming some of the most impressive people in our industry, including world-class GTM, engineering, and product teams. We’ve long admired the Windsurf team and what they’ve built. One of my top priorities in structuring this deal was to honor their talent, hard work, and accomplishments in making Windsurf the great business it is today. To that end, Jeff and I worked together to ensure that every single employee is treated with respect and well taken care of in this transaction. Specifically: 100% of Windsurf employees will participate financially in this deal 100% of Windsurf employees will have vesting cliffs waived for their work to date 100% of Windsurf employees will receive fully accelerated vesting for their work to date Every new employee of Cognition will be treated the same way as existing employees: with transparency, fairness, and deep respect for their abilities and value. After today, our efforts will be as a united and aligned team. There’s only one boat and we’re all in it together. What this means for Cognition is that we’ll be able to move even faster on our mission of building the future of software engineering. As you all know, we’ve had strong momentum and adoption over the last few months. For many enterprise engineering teams, Devin is already a top contributor. As our customer base continues to grow, it’s clear that combining the rapid adoption of Devin as the leading fully autonomous agent with Windsurf’s IDE product and scaled GTM machine will be a massive unlock. There’s never been a more exciting time to build. Within our lifetime, engineers will go from bricklayers to architects, focusing on the creativity of designing systems rather than the manual labor of putting them together. It’s a privilege to be in this position, and it’s your hard work that has brought us here. There’s much more to do ahead, and the work won’t be easy, but today is a huge win for all of us in the positive-sum game we’re playing. Thank you for being on this journey together. Now let’s get ready to give our new colleagues a warm welcome. Scott

Innovation doesn't happen with work-life balance

That's the mindset 🚀

From Social Media Manager to Data Scientist. What a transition. 100% worth it.

This is the golden age of building
