The most useful realization I’ve had building tech companies is to identify the people who build vs just talk. Especially in public places like social media where the ratio is highly skewed towards people who just have opinions, without real world experience to back them up.…

Meet Tori: The friendly companion for seniors Had fun building this project with @PipeAbellos This time we decided to explore problems related to loneliness and dementia in seniors.
My view is that it’s probably the best time to learn coding because you will need less of it and produce increasingly more magic. Eventually “coding” will almost entirely be natural language, but you will still be programming. You will be paid for your creativity and ability to…

Patrick Collison on the importance of beauty and craftsmanship when building products “If Stripe is a monstrously successful business, but what we make isn’t beautiful, and Stripe doesn’t embody a culture of incredibly exacting craftsmanship, I’ll be much less happy. I think the…
Design Engineering is the embodiment of Steve's "Design is how it works." principle. I believe it's going to be one of the most important roles and differentiators in the next generation of software companies.
This is 100% right. Only some companies will manage to actually hire and retain great design engineering talent, and it’ll be the ones that allow people to spend time on craft and make it a part of their culture.

We noticed some people using our AI agent for tennis reservations, so we decided to make a few improvements to the UI. Now, it's even easier and clearer to book tennis courts. Check out the update and let us know what you think! Try it out: tenniscourtssanfrancisco.com
Making tennis court reservations in SF is a horrible experience. So we made it better. Now, there's an AI agent that handles them.

As a side project @PipeAbellos and I wanted to make it easier for us to book tennis courts in SF. So, we created an Al agent to help with that. We hope it simplifies your court bookings too! :) You can try it now at: tenniscourtssanfrancisco.com
Technology should feel like a natural extension of ourselves This is why the small details matter I really enjoyed learning more about fluid interfaces and interaction design Here are some of the best resources on this: developer.apple.com/videos/play/ww… rauno.me/craft/interact… from…
Don’t listen if you’re told not to learn to code because of AI. Combine proficiency in AI tools with basic programming skills for superpowers. AI lowers entry reqs for being useful as a programmer - it won’t take long before you can build *very* useful tools. Learn to code.

Take special note of the ratio of engineers to non engineers you are hiring. Not only pre-product market fit but post. In my experience, this is one of the biggest levers on company culture a founder has.

Meta is going to have 350,000 H100s by the end of the year. Given lead times, they probably had to start ordering them in 2022. How did Zuck know he'd need all these GPUs?
A few ways - 1. Invest in more founders who value design 2. Folks starting companies should consider having designers on their founding team 3. Bring on investors/angels who can help you build a strong design/product foundation from day e.g. @designerfund ;) 4. My DMs are open
