The fact that @spotify includes Blippi and Paw Patrol in my “taste profile” and calls it “fascinating blend” is… adorable; stellar DS work!

I've made 300+ pre-seed investments.

The most expensive mistake isn't shipping the wrong thing.

It's spending 9 months "validating" what a 2-week launch would have answered.

Seneca called this the fool's delay.

Waiting teaches nothing.

Shipping teaches everything.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

If you want to start a startup, don't learn "entrepreneurship." Learn how to build things. The hard part of startups is not "entrepreneurship" but product: to know what to build, and to be able to build it.

Turns out, software is still never done, even with agents...

Give us a break you guys… let us catch up

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Tag, a new way for teams to work with Claude.

In Slack, Claude joins as a team member with access to the channels and tools you choose. Tag Claude in and delegate tasks to it while you focus on other work.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

If you want something from someone, make it clear what. It's not imposing to ask explicitly for something; it's imposing to be vague and make the recipient work to figure out what you want.

New pre-commute routine: spin up a QA orchestrator with specialized subagents to bulletproof the codebase in parallel. Unit, integration, security, perf, edge cases; all hunting at once. Approve the plan, hit the road, let it cook.

everyone's sleeping on how absurdly good 2026 is to start a company (even compared to 2024)

one person can now:

- ship full apps without engineers (cursor, replit)
- design without being a designer (v0, Claude Design)
- turn one video into 10 clips (opus, descript)
- push those clips to millions (X, Linkedin, TikTok)
- replace a support team (chatbase, intercom)
- literally watch exactly what their users do (Posthog)
- find + target perfect leads on autopilot (origami)

This is such a rare window. I just can’t imagine it being this easy ever again

The fractal animation in the hero section of this page is both breathtakingly beautiful and hauntingly terrifying at the same time.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.

It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx

And, for those who don’t have it, you can come across as obsessive (or a lil crazy)

[Paul Graham @paulg]

The most important component of writing clearly is simply to have high standards for clarity. Then if you write something unclear, you notice, and ask: what did I mean to say? You can just keep doing this over and over. And if you have high standards for clarity, you will.

Getting there...
