In the essay I just wrote about how to prepare students to be founders, I talked about the importance of working on their own projects. In this essay from 2021, I explain in detail how and why to do that.

Very cool paper showing that government services are getting flooded because of AI... Echoing @avshah99's earlier findings!

This is really sad:

When psychology professors are asked whether they'd put the truth before social equity concerns, 66.4% of male professors said yes, but fewer than half of female professors (43%) agreed.

In both groups, too many put equity before truth.

@johnarnold *his incompetence.

[Sarmad @SarmadZadjali]

@johnarnold I think it is likely due to excitement of one person and incompetence.

I told my sister once you start earning money, some people will ask you to lend them money. It is up to you to decide if you want to lend them or not, but when you lend them be ready that you may not get your money back.

Today in @thenation: a harrowing piece written from inside the Dilley ICE detention center by Maryam Tahmasebi, a green card holder who's been locked up along with her husband and son for months despite none of them committing any crime. https://t.co/CeMlfwGToa

Last November, @steipete was annoyed that there was no good way to talk to his coding agents from his phone, so he built one himself. A few months later, OpenClaw exploded into one of the biggest open source AI projects in the world, with nearly 3,000 contributors and a peak of 4.7 million weekly downloads.

At Startup School 2026, Peter tells the story of what happened when OpenClaw took off, what he got wrong as it grew, and how he eventually stopped using the product he had built for himself.

He shares why the best products often start with something that annoys you, why focus matters more as building gets easier, and why, in his words, “fun is velocity.”

The Mac branches I visit in Muscat Oman have the following issues:
- Drive through scanners don’t work and I have to dictate numbers to get the discount on Mac app.
- Often reps don’t hear me well or I don’t hear them well when ordering before the first window.
- When paying using apply pay, I have to give my phone to the rep in the first window because the device that accepts payments for some reason can’t be brought closer to me.
