As my late father used to say in the days of handwritten European cafe bills: "if they were just bad at math, you'd expect half the mistakes to be in my favor."

We have appended an Editors' Note to a story about Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, a child in Gaza who was diagnosed with severe malnutrition. After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below.

I'm excited to share that Ashby has raised a $50M Series D! In just over a year since our Series C, we've scaled from 1,300 to over 2,700 customers, grown revenue by 135% year-over-year, and maintained best-in-class efficiency (burn multiple <1x). A huge thank you to our customers—you’ve shaped our journey and continue to influence the product we're building for thousands more to come. And of course, a massive shoutout to our team 💜. We recently crossed 220 team members, and the talent bar and quality of execution remain exceptional. I've written a longer memo outlining the shifts we're seeing in TA and our strategic focus moving forward—doubling down on AI (and product velocity broadly), operationalizing Quality of Hire, scaling Enterprise Adoption, and investing in Customer Success and Community: ashbyhq.com/blog/culture/s… There's plenty left to do - onward, upward, and back to work! 📈

I know people get paid by foreign countries to sell propaganda because I have been offered it myself. I obviously declined because I have ethics, morals and the only country I will ever be loyal to is America. But this happens - and more frequently than I think people realize.

It's not enough to have a firm grasp of the industry you're building in. If your product doesn’t speak to core human impulses, it probably won’t scale. Here's why builders need to have a strong theory of  human nature:

Jung said: “The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate.” Founders on their journey must overcome their inner situation and integrate their shadow. Only then will they have a chance at altering fate itself.

@shreyas @pmdude So if you’re feeling the itch, then just do it! Try it and see how it goes and how it feels for you. Why bother with all these polls and questions? Observation: are you perhaps posing all these now to find justification for a change you already know you want to make?

@pmdude Alas I wish it were that simple. (I don’t want anyone to like me — I write first for myself, then for the reader, which is probably why it has resonated with people since I began writing in 2020 — but I am now feeling the itch to be even more direct and to do that privately)

It might be surprising given the directness of my public writing, but I am way more direct & candid in my private work (roughly: subscribers - 5X, teaching - 50X, advising - 100X) For my public writing should I be: A) less direct B) slightly more direct C) way more direct

Urgency is a weapon. Used well, it builds momentum. Used poorly, it destroys it. Most people don’t understand the difference. They think moving fast means rushing. That speed means cutting corners. That pressure means pushing everything to happen now. But urgency without direction is chaos. It burns people out. It leads to sloppy decisions. It creates movement without progress. The top 1% operate differently. They know real urgency isn’t about going faster, it’s about removing friction. It’s about clearing bottlenecks, eliminating wasted time, and focusing on what actually moves the needle. They don’t mistake busyness for progress. They don’t react to everything as if it’s an emergency. They understand that the wrong kind of urgency is just disguised inefficiency. Look at any team that’s constantly in crisis mode. They’re not moving fast. They’re spinning in circles. They’re drowning in last-minute fire drills, half-baked work, and unnecessary stress. The teams that win don’t let urgency control them. They control it. They set the pace. They know when to push and when to wait. They move with intent. The first step is recognizing that not everything needs to happen immediately. The second step is defining what real urgency looks like. Removing delays that slow down execution without creating unnecessary chaos. The third step is protecting momentum. Momentum doesn’t come from working harder. It comes from working smarter, stacking small wins, and moving in a straight line instead of thrashing in every direction. If urgency isn’t managed, it becomes its own enemy. The teams that understand this move fast without breaking themselves. The ones that don’t burn out before they ever get anywhere.
