I buy more books than I finish or even start reading. But I thought I will start maintaining a public list of whatever I finish from hereon and aim to read more. This is a long-term WIP 👇🏻

@vaibhavbetter Is AIPOPS similar to AI Native Services (AINS) as Emergence calls them? Sequoia has also written about them. emcap.com/thoughts/the-a… sequoiacap.com/article/servic…

This is now central to all our investing and especially in India. If you can truly build an AI-native stack for your entire org than ops heavy businesses can become attractive in the way they were not before. It has been hard to differentiate between founders who are using AI to make things better versus founders who are thinking what AI-native core can enable them to do. It is the latter that we are spending the most time with across categories from logistics to quick commerce/services to agencies. "Ops is the new software" is the mantra :)

@jasonfried Love the way you guys think through things while building your products. Everything is solving for something.

First I critique something particularly embarrassing in Basecamp 4, and then show you how we completely redesigned the same flow in Basecamp 5. We grow!

Reading 'Maverick!' by Ricardo Semler. Couldn't stop thinking about this passage. He wrote it in 1993. About computers.

.Built something with @perplexity_ai - a simple salary planning tool for recruiter conversations. Put in a CTC, see how it breaks down - deductions, in-hand, easy. Made it for myself (India-focused), sharing it in case it helps. Not advice, just clarity. bit.ly/ctc-planner

Show up. Effort never betrays you.

From the book ‘Tumhare Baare Mein’ by Manav Kaul.

"Happiness is as exclusive as a butterfly, and you must never pursue it. If you stay very still, it may come and settle on your hand. But only briefly. Savour those moments, for they will not come in your way very often.” - Ruskin Bond ‘Notes From A Small Room’

"Jab tak jeevan hai, tab tak sangharsh hai." Heard this in a reel.

Taste has always mattered. It's comical that all the sudden it matters. ALWAYS.

@davidsenra @jasonfried @37signals This is awesome! Can’t wait to listen to this one.

If there is only one way to get out of this life, then you must always choose to go out trying. #NoteToSelf

“The distance between deciding and doing is the single most reliable predictor of whether your life will be extraordinary or ordinary.” These three paragraphs will change your life:

Ego death. Everyday.

Spending time w/ family and friends has taught me that - life is short. Moments are big. #NoteToSelf

Current “focus music” playlist. Works every time. Absolute focus.

Some problems ➡️ you solve Some problems ➡️ you manage #NoteToSelf

For a small Belgian guy from Braine-le-Comte playing for fun, being inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame with these greats of the game at 34 years old is crazy. Thank you to all of you; I will see you soon, my friends! 💙

@BenMacintyre1 Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom Makes you think hard about how you're living your life and the choices you make, for your own good. "When you learn how to die, you learn how to live."

@BenMacintyre1 The Book of Clarity by Paras Chopra Simple language explaining foundational startup things. “A startup is like a hypothesis inside an entrepreneur’s head and the entire point of the startup journey is to know whether it's true or false.”
