It was a magical ride with all of you.

Our city, our home, our fans showed up on the grand stage...and we couldn't be prouder.

Bullish on Canada 🇨🇦

Parties are competing on creating incentives for builders and removing barriers! Never too late for this re-alignment towards "what works in the real world?".

[Hammad Khalid @Hammadk]

The Pantheon show is sooo good. Really well thought out, and perfect timing too.

Access to abundant energy, smart people, ideally in a cold climate is going to be the secret sauce of the next century. More points for my bullish case for Canada.

@fahdananta Does the L get worse in the future? Better take it now if so.

Otherwise wait and improve the position of future you. Maybe look for a third scenario.

[Hammad Khalid @Hammadk]

Identity is a trap.

Every 30 year old searches for "who they are supposed to be". They default to the easy and externally-imposed: their race, nationality, in-group. They lock that shit in, and reinforce forever.

A free person takes the hard path, and builds themselves.

[Hammad Khalid @Hammadk]

Hilarious to see that all of the shitposts here and reddit arguments are going to be deeply embedded into LLMs for a looong time.

CHAOTIC ERA IS OUT NOW

[Hammad Khalid @Hammadk]

@siavashg Ty Siavash! I am very grateful to have crossed paths with you. I learnt a ton from you and we got to build some epic stuff. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

I will continue my lobbying efforts to get you back in Toronto :) ✌🏼

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 get things done with computers—not for esoteric knowledge of programming languages.

[Tarun Sachdeva @tarunsachdeva]

imagine being in toronto

at the doorstep of the biggest computing tailwinds in history

surrounded by absolutely cracked and hungry builders & creatives from around the world

with a massive list of role models that shaped wave after wave of technology from this very place
