In 2014, Sam Altman gave a 1-hour masterclass on turning ideas into billion-dollar companies.
His frameworks:
• Best ideas look terrible at first
• Small markets that grow fast
• Users who love, not like
10 timeless lessons:
1. The idea matters more than you think
@aaditsh By the time you finish the chapter or article, your very last note in the margin is a complete, comprehensive summary of the entire text, built by you, step-by-step. You'll never have to re-read or cram that material again.
@aaditsh Diving deeper into that reading method, because it’s a total game-changer for actually retaining information. It’s not just random highlighting; it’s an active system for building a mental model of the text as you read.
Here’s the full, practical guide 🧵👇:
@aaditsh 📝 The Payoff:
Yes, it feels slower than just scanning. But you're trading passive reading speed for active learning efficiency. By forcing yourself to constantly re-summarize the bigger picture, you prevent your mind from drifting.
@aaditsh You are forced to constantly synthesize and update your understanding.
⛓️ Sentence 2 (The New Idea): Your second sentence summarizes only the new paragraph you just finished reading. This isolates the new piece of information.
@aaditsh ⚙️ Sentence 1 (The Running Summary): Your first sentence must summarize everything you have read up to that point. So, when you're at paragraph 3, this sentence summarizes paragraphs 1 and 2. When you're at paragraph 4, it summarizes 1, 2, and 3.
⬇️
@aaditsh 1. The Foundation (First 1-2 Paragraphs):
Start simple. Read the first paragraph, stop, and summarize its single most important idea in one sentence in the margin. Do the same for the second paragraph. This warms you up and establishes the baseline ideas.

Soy ingeniero de software y lidero equipos de desarrollo.
Diseño producto, organizo tareas, saco código… y a veces termino el día sin saber en qué se me fue el tiempo.

👋 #DevCommunity! Seeking guidance on #CodeReview using Cursor. Noticed the Review Tab is missing and I’m unsure how to use @git or @PR tags to diff branches beyond main. Any tips on configuring these settings, especially for PRs targeting the dev branch? 🙏
