To get more done in a day, minimise open loops.

I’ve found that freeing up short-term memory and those background jobs that your brain runs is even more effective than freeing up time to get shit done.

[Greg Wilk @UnsettledGreg]

The progress bar barely started moving.

[Fuse Energy @fuseenergy]

Today we announce our $70M Series B, led by @lowercarbon and @balderton, bringing Fuse to a $5B valuation.

Time to go further.

The majority of the people I’ve hired moved to the UK. Forcing them to choose between constraining their career to here vs incurring significant financial burden (coughing up capital gains tax on illiquid assets) is not the outcome I hoped for.

[Startup Coalition @StartupCltn]

Today we're publishing an Open Letter from over 150+ founders & investors across our startup & scaleup ecosystem to the @RachelReevesMP warning against a so-called 'Exit Tax'.

Build the kernel, not the leaf.

The deeper you push logic into libraries, the more reuse it sees, the better it gets.

If there's "one way" to do "one thing", it accumulates all lessons learned, allowing quality to compound.

[Greg Wilk @UnsettledGreg]

Precise vocabulary is correlated with engineering skill.

[Fuse Energy @fuseenergy]

$300M ARR.
Still Day One.

[Greg Wilk @UnsettledGreg]

No such thing as too much scrutiny in code review.

It is the last line of defence against future problems.

Humans care about code entropy.
Then why do LLMs maximise boilerplate?

Software is underrated.

[Greg Wilk @UnsettledGreg]

@solana @alanchanguk @chrlsorr We will make energy programmable. 🔌😎💸

[Greg Wilk @UnsettledGreg]

Get in the habit of triggering learning loops:

After some coding or reviewing, take a step back.

Consider if there's a better approach.

Early and often.

[Greg Wilk @UnsettledGreg]

Not separating code movement from changes in separate commits is an act of violence against the reviewer.

[Greg Wilk @UnsettledGreg]

@chamath The tooling part will age poorly; I bet the opposite.

1. To supervise effectively, you must understand.
2. As 'coding' accelerates, you have more logic to maintain (supervise).
3. Tooling becomes more important than ever.

Ship what you are proud of.
