AI is a multiplier.

If you’re brilliant at what you do, AI will make you 10x, 20x, maybe 100x more brilliant.

If you’re an idiot, same logic applies.

AI doesn’t create intelligence.
It amplifies what’s already there.

The people who think AI will replace expertise are missing the point.

The biggest winners won’t be the people who use AI.
They’ll be the people who know what they’re doing and use AI.

Everyone else will just become faster idiots.

Apple Review is the worst service I have ever experienced, especially considering Apple's position in the market.

I have nothing against the people involved but I honestly can't wait for a competitor to challenge them successfully.

Considering that it generates them roughly 20 to 30 billion dollars per year through a 30 percent or 15 percent commission on in app purchases, I cannot believe they have not yet optimized this process. I am flabbergasted and wish Huawei takes over lol

Steal my stupid simple criteria for hiring A-players

For marketing:

- I don’t care about experience, formal education, or a resumé. Marketing is simple, just not easy.
- If someone wants it badly enough, they'll figure it out.

So I had just one qualifier: is this person hungry?

I'd often take the person with nothing else going on, because they saw the job as a dream opportunity and refused to let it slip.

For developers:

Hunger isn't enough, because there's a baseline of skill no amount of drive replaces.

So I looked for one of two things:

- Have they worked at a high-growth startup?
- Do they build side projects for fun/free?

A startup vet survived the grind, and the side-project builder does it for the love of the game.

Don’t overcomplicate it.

Many founders default to B2B because it feels safer, more predictable, and more structured. That same structure often means less exposure to the messy, emotional reality of human behavior.

Personally, I think B2C is one of the most rewarding paths in business. When most founders are crowding into B2B, the rational move may actually be to go where competition is thinner.

B2C forces you to understand psychology, communication, positioning, culture, and what truly drives people to act. That’s a much harder problem than optimizing a sales funnel for corporate buyers.

Also, a large percentage of technical founders are introverts who are far more comfortable talking to computers than to people. That creates an opportunity. The willingness to deeply understand consumers is a competitive advantage precisely because so few founders want to do it.

The future won’t be built only by companies that understand businesses. It will also be built by companies that understand humans.

[Andrei @andreisovidiu]

I think technical people are more skeptical because they have enough domain knowledge to recognize the failure modes and long term risks that aren’t obvious to others.

I agree with the micromanagement point, but a humanoid doing chores isn’t quite the same comparison.
If it makes a mistake, the downside is usually small. When an AI agent makes a mistake in a business process, the financial, operational, or security impact can be significant.

The level of oversight should be proportional to the risk.
