@T_Zahil you don't... unless you wanna spend more money

[Daniel W. Chen @danielwchen0]

@BenYorke Nice how often do you do you come here?

[Daniel W. Chen @danielwchen0]

@raviojhax Can relate, peace and love give me joy. Most other things are just noises and dopamine, enjoy moderately.

[Daniel W. Chen @danielwchen0]

@benspringwater Would love to try!

[Daniel W. Chen @danielwchen0]

@lexfridman Stay in Taiwan longer there’s a lot to be explored!

@danshipper It's better than 4.7, maybe slightly better than 4.6.

@jasonfried This type of work philosophy is going to become more adopted in the next decades.

AI is turning everyone into answer machines.

It should be turning us into deeper thinkers.

Introducing Wisdom Source in Life Note — now when you journal with history’s greatest philosophers, spiritual teachers, and scientists, you can trace their guidance back to the original source.

Stand on the shoulders of giants and learn from our roots!

Wispr Flow's voice recognition has gotten so much worse as it tries to be so smart to re-write things for you, and oftentimes it gets it wrong... trying typeless now.

AI is making it increasingly likely that humanity will master physical reality.

The real question isn’t whether we can.

It’s what we’ll sacrifice along the way.

@garrytan this is all it matters+ exection + self love

[Daniel W. Chen @danielwchen0]

@thepatwalls Great design, difficult engineeringand more grounded planning still require deep work, AI can’t replace that. Separate work that requires deep work vs AI work that can be done even with rapid context switches

HTML > Markdown.

I vibe-coded a local app for high-volume reading called Long Drive.

1. html-first
2. Obsidian + Web Clipper
3. Karpathy-inspired, curiosity-driven knowledge base
4. A visual vocab design system
5. Knowledge graph + qmd

Thanks to @trq212 for the inspiration!

[Daniel W. Chen @danielwchen0]

@trq212 this is goated...

Claude design is pretty great and has a lot of potential. vibe-coding for 2+ years i never need to use figma, but claude design is delivering a lot of value here.

This is probably the best “Vibe Marketing” outreach I’ve seen recently. A few days ago, someone pitched me a UGC collaboration.

But instead of sending another generic AI-written email, they made a whole webpage called:

Life Note Proposal: https://t.co/ssz7amgrGy

As a founder, hard not to click.

The page used Life Note’s brand colors. They clearly listed 3 TikTok formats they could make, included actual reference videos + view counts, and explained:

• why this content would work
• why it fits Life Note
• how they’d execute it

I’m not going to work with them, but I genuinely appreciated the effort. Since AI became mainstream, my inbox is full of “personalized” emails that feel completely generic.

This one actually provided value.

Maybe that’s the future of outreach:
- Don’t use AI to fake personalization.
- Use AI to make the first interaction genuinely useful.
