How to know someone uses AI to write:

It’s not X, it’s Y.

Not A. Not B. Not C. But D.

If you choose to use AI to write (all good). Just cut out the forced negatives before the point. Just make the point and move on.

One thing that’s really improved my workflow is learning to type without looking at the keyboard or screen.

I type at the speed I think. I can stay inside the idea while my hands handle the mechanics of getting it out.

Dictating doesn’t give me the same clarity. Writing is slower in a good way. I sit with thoughts longer, shape them better, and go deeper.

As someone who’s used modafinil on and off for the past decade and is now mostly off nootropics, I can tell you this, internal motivation from chasing a goal that actually feels worth your time is all the stimulation you need. That, and a large espresso.

I did this 18 years ago during my startup and I don’t recommend it at all

Tbh who needs modafinil when the sweet sweet dopamine of crushing 20 PRs in a day is more than enough to induce extreme insomnia?

@AlexHormozi Yeah always exhausting to read

The quotes that brought me here felt somewhat exaggerated. Strong effort, Matt, but the message could’ve been delivered with fewer words. The AI filler didn’t add much for me.

Not a single one. It is not even just that cities are unwalkable. It is also that Nigerians have come to associate walking with poverty, and despise it. I always tell the story of how, a few months after my first novel came out in Abuja and I was enjoying the response it received from Nigerians especially, someone tweeted, I saw that Elnathan trekking in Abuja. Big writer but does not have car. And below the tweet people were mocking me for trekking in Abuja. Because it was not just walking. It was trekking, a word that takes a normal human activity and turns it into a moral wrong, an evil thing only wretched people do.
In fact, as a car owner try walking somewhere and people you know who drive past might stop and ask you if everything is ok. Because if everything is ok, why are you trekking? 🤣🤣🤣

"Passion" comes from the Latin “passio” which means "suffering" and "endurance."

So people think that following your passion means doing something you love, when it really means finding something that you are willing to suffer for.

I just found out there is no direct interface for you to edit the stored memory on chatgpt unless the system itself triggers the “memory full” cleanup prompt. that shouldn't be imo. If the app tells me something is manageable, I should be able to manage it whenever I want and not only when the system decides.

As someone who has worked on many Web3 async teams, I resonate with all the points here.

[Tim Okonkwo @timokonkwo_]

Leading a remote Web3 team is nothing like managing a traditional office. If you try to micromanage a global team, you will fail. If you rely on “presence” instead of “output,” you will fail even faster.

Here are 3 things I wish I knew earlier:

1. Trust is the Operating System. You can’t watch people work, you have to hire people who want to work and optimize for autonomy. If you have to check in every 2 hours, you hired the wrong person.

2. Documentation > Meetings. In an office, information spreads by osmosis. Remotely, it spreads by documentation.

If it’s not documented, it didn’t happen. Async communication is the only way to scale across time zones without burnout.

3. Output is the only metric. I don't care when you work. I care what you ship.

We do weekly demos.
If you have nothing to demo, you didn't work.

Proof of work isn't just a consensus mechanism; it’s a management philosophy.

Leading remote teams is about trust, clarity, and consistent output… not surveillance.

I don’t think it’s about having a foreign accent. I’ve heard much cleaner Nigerian accents from averagely literate Nigerians. His "mispronunciations" were obvious and they likely stem from the phonetic patterns he picked up in his formative years, shaped by the environment he grew up in and the people around him. He's definitely brilliant but let's not pretend that's what refined nigerian accent sounds like.
