- ~1 million users per employee
- fully remote
- 1 in-person meetup per year
- no scheduled meetings
- no stand-ups
- deep focus is prioritized
- our manifesto guides our product
What works for us may not work for you.
the greatest regret i have is underestimating the value of long term compounding.
friendships, people, places, all get better with decades. beautiful things dont even start to reveal themselves for years. it is entirely what life is about. a few good things for a long time.
Everytime I see new images of our Earth I keep thinking of this soviet anti-war poster by Boris Rogachevsky that says "There's no other home!"
I think it's really sweet

- Drafted a blog post
- Used an LLM to meticulously improve the argument over 4 hours.
- Wow, feeling great, itâs so convincing!
- Fun idea letâs ask it to argue the opposite.
- LLM demolishes the entire argument and convinces me that the opposite is in fact true.

The LLMs may elicit an opinion when asked but are extremely competent in arguing almost any direction. This is actually super useful as a tool for forming your own opinions, just make sure to ask different directions and be careful with the sycophancy.
