Building for Builders

[Laura Modiano @LauraModiano]

When people start telling you your work has become an obsession and it's unhealthy, Accelerate.
This is the sweet spot.

@AdamGartenberg @hf0 @davefontenot @davefontenot is incredibly founder obsessed and knows how to focus on and grow talent no matter what it takes

@Mihir_Malde @sequoia @abhishekm1636 Big time

[Laura Modiano @LauraModiano]

On a Friday night in the Bay Area: Some people hang, some grind and some build pokerbots while playing chess at @sequoia

@abhishekm1636 accepted the challenge of how many IMO medalists can fit in a room

[Laura Modiano @LauraModiano]

@rronak_ So well deserved

[Laura Modiano @LauraModiano]

@abhishekm1636 @sequoia The talent and skill concentration in the room was 🤌🏼

@Casspi18 @DeanMeyerrr @shaunmmaguire @DavidCahn6 Each one of them (and you) a true Legend!

My OpenAI Dot agent started sending me useful nuggets from tech earnings calls ON ITS OWN because it thought I might appreciate them given our prior conversations. It is awesome. Thank you, Dot!

AI agents are going to be a mega trend and they will only improve as they gain better personalization context.

I still don’t have access to Anthropic Claude Duet.

DevDay Exchange Berlin was a vibe!

We had a great set of devs come out and spend the day in great conversations

And closed with a punchy AMA with @romainhuet @whoiskatrin and @paw_lean

❤️ for @reach_vb, @kagigz, @dkundel

@attiamo1 I will keep coming back!

[Laura Modiano @LauraModiano]

@gbrl_dick The food scene is insanely good here and miserable people is a choice - in my experience the people here are full of spirit, heart and guts to dare and fight.

@axiommathai Wow!
