Here are 20 key takeaways from Andrew Ng's Stanford CS230 AI career lecture:

1. Golden age for AI careers now.
2. AI task complexity doubles ~every 7 months.
3. Master frontier coding tools (Cursor/Claude).
4. Bottleneck is deciding what to build (PM skills).
5. Engineers need user empathy & product mindset.
6. PM/engineer ratio collapsing toward 1:1.
7. Choose great team over big company logo.
8. Go build stuff—#1 advice.
9. Low cost of failure = fast learning.
10. Surround yourself with high-caliber people.
11. Execution & delivery beat ideas.
12. Build projects for strong portfolio.
13. Tie work to real business outcomes.
14. Optimize for learning speed via team.
15. Demand team details before accepting offers.
16. Production ("P word") is crucial.
17. Avoid vibe coding—understand what you build.
18. Adapt strategically, not with panic.
19. Maintain depth in models & trends.
20. Build community & lifelong networks.

[Allen Braden @allen_explains]

🚨 A junior at Jane Street reportedly landed a $220K–$600K role because he used AI to analyze trillions of data points faster than most teams ever could.

In this 1-hour lecture, he breaks down the exact system behind it:

• how he researches massive datasets
• how AI finds patterns humans miss
• how his machine turns raw data into decisions
• how you can apply the same thinking yourself

Skip Netflix tonight.

Watch this instead.

One hour could completely change how you think about research, AI, and opportunity.

Adobe tried to buy Figma for $20 billion in 2022.

The deal collapsed. So Figma went public on the NYSE in July 2025 instead. Ticker FIG. Public company. Quarterly earnings. Wall Street pressure.

You know what happens to design tools after they IPO.

In March 2025, Figma raised the Professional Full seat 33%. From $15 to $20 a month. Organization seats jumped to $55. Enterprise to $90.

Then they took Dev Mode, which was free during beta, and locked it behind a paid seat. Your developers now pay extra to inspect the designs your designers already paid to create.

In March 2026, Figma started charging for AI credits on top.

If Figma raises prices again, you pay.
If Figma gets acquired, you pray.
If Figma shuts down, your files die with it.

Your design system. On their servers. In a proprietary format only their app can read. To draw rectangles on a screen.

There is an open source design platform that runs on your hardware. Stores your files in plain SVG. Costs $0 forever for unlimited users.

It is called Penpot. 45,700+ stars on GitHub.

A full Figma-grade design platform built on open web standards. Vector editing. Components. Design tokens to W3C spec. Flex and Grid layouts. Real-time multiplayer. Interactive prototyping.

Here's what it does:

→ Real-time collaboration. Live cursors. Comments in line.
→ Components, variants, shared libraries.
→ Auto layout, Flex, CSS Grid. The tool outputs production CSS, not lookalike CSS.
→ Interactive prototypes with overlays, animations, and flows.
→ Inspect tab. Free. Built in. Every developer grabs production CSS, SVG, HTML without a separate seat.
→ Plugin ecosystem. Figma import to migrate your files.
→ Self-host on Docker in one command. Your designs never leave your network.

Here's the wildest part:

Figma stores your designs in a proprietary format only Figma can read.

Penpot files are SVG. The same format your browser has rendered for 25 years. Open them in any editor. Open them in 20 years. Nobody can lock you out.

The feature Figma charges your developers extra for, Penpot gives away. Without asking permission.

Figma Professional: $20/month per seat. A 10-person team: $2,400/year.
Figma Organization: $55/month per Full seat. A 50-person org: $33,000/year.

Penpot: $0. Unlimited users. Unlimited files. Unlimited teams. Self-hosted. Free forever.

45,700+ stars. 2,700+ forks. 250+ contributors. MPL-2.0 license. Backed by a community that believes design tools should be free.

Your designs. Your files. Your standards.

100% Open Source.

@KiroIkigai @BourbonCap no but buying 25B is a good signal..

[LVC designs @LVCdesigns]

@CalumLewis Oh damn, that is so true. And that is free to use just to sign documents and do minimal tasks with the platform.

[LVC designs @LVCdesigns]

Hey thanks for that :) i appreciate the pushback. When i heard the CEO said they even have that many people using it i was in awe. I guess this could include large enterprises giving tje software to there employees?

Yea your right the MUA is exactly what the CEO said. I just assumed they all subscribed lol

Thanks for the clarification

[LVC designs @LVCdesigns]

@elonmusk imagine @xai partners with @Adobe too make @Photoshop more badass; 850 million subscribers to adobe instantly get a MASSIVE LLM upgrade with there editing software ????? plz lawd

[LVC designs @LVCdesigns]

@dolores_capital @crowdturtle @FluentInQuality lol re read everything you said and look at it from the other side of a professional that KNOWS HOW TO USE THE INTERFACE.

[LVC designs @LVCdesigns]

@InvestorDaan @antibearthesis Case in point. Professional companies use adobe.

[LVC designs @LVCdesigns]

@InvestorDaan @antibearthesis yeah and any designer that uses canva isnt professional.

[LVC designs @LVCdesigns]

@techlifejosh @AlexFinn Brother just install codex ? Every time you use a new claude code it has to go through the whole repo to understand what its working with.

MrBeast keeps going on podcasts and keeps giving away the entire YouTube playbook. Here’s what he’s said across dozens of appearances.

On the algorithm: it doesn’t exist. Replace “algorithm” with “audience” every time. The algorithm didn’t like your video. No. The audience didn’t. YouTube is a mirror. If people click and watch, it gets promoted. The growth hack industry sells you a god that isn’t there.

On what actually matters: studying humans. The checklist before you hit record. What’s the thumbnail. What’s the title. What’s the first 5 seconds. What’s the first 30. If you can’t answer all four, don’t film.

On titles: under 50 characters. Above that, devices cut them with dot-dot-dot and viewers don’t know what they clicked. Short, simple, so interesting it’ll haunt them if they don’t click.

On thumbnails: simple enough a scrolling viewer instantly understands and feels emotion. His test: “I rode a skateboard with 1,000 other people, it’s about to go off a big ramp.” Hours later, daydreaming, you still wonder what happened to those 1,000 people.

On autoplay: videos autoplay now. Many people never see the thumbnail. You have to visually convince them in the first 5 seconds.

On extremity: “Fiji water sucks” does fine. “Fiji water is the worst water I’ve ever drunk in my life” does way better. The more extreme the promise, the more extreme the delivery has to be.

On matching expectations: title and thumbnail set the promise. The first 10 seconds honor it or break it. Click “Tether is a scam” and the creator starts on anything else, you’re out. Start with “Tether is a scam and I’m gonna teach you why.” Match, then exceed. The thing people undervalue most is literally the first 10 seconds.

On retention: remove every dull moment. Find 10 critical people, make them watch, let them roast it. Ten seconds of talking head without a cut loses people. B-cam three seconds in, different angle, now it’s interesting.

On drop-off: creators drag it out. “I’m going to eat $100 ice cream, but first…” and then it’s them birthday shopping for their mom. Give them why they clicked. Tell them why to watch. Stay on topic. Upper echelon of YouTube.

On the real metric: it’s the next video. If they loved what they just watched, they watch your next one. You don’t want “that was good, but enough for the day.” You want “holy crap, what’s that?” and they watch 10 in a row.

On quality vs quantity: easier to get 5M views on one video than 50K on 100. Small creators post stuff that isn’t bad but isn’t great, nothing pops off, no audience forms. Upload a third or a fifth as often and make each one so good the algorithm has to promote it.

On the consistency trap: a schedule you can’t hit at quality is dangerous. “Monday I said I’d upload” floors your quality at exactly the level viewers notice. They watch less. Longevity suffers.

On the first 100: they’re going to suck. You think they’re good. They’re not. When he was 14 he thought his videos were the best in the world. They were terrible. Under 1,000 subscribers, your videos probably aren’t good yet.

On the improvement loop: ship 100, improve one thing each time. Second, better script. Third, new editing trick. Fourth, vocal inflections. Fifth, thumbnail. Sixth, title. No such thing as a perfect video.

On analysis paralysis: planning your first video for three months is the worst move. Your first 10 get zero views. Confirmed. Stop thinking, start shipping. On your 101st we’ll talk.

On the ceiling: “I could start a new channel tomorrow without my face, my voice, or promoting it, and hit 20M subscribers in six months. If you knew what I knew, you could get 10M from wherever you are.”

Every creator watching a 30-second clip thinks they got the tip. They got one tile from a mosaic he’s built in public for years.

@grok @Surajdotdot7 @TawohAwa this was terrible

[LVC designs @LVCdesigns]

@Surajdotdot7 @TawohAwa Hey could you explain the 3rd sentance like i am 5
