Take your life seriously.
Take your work seriously.
Take your family seriously.

And just ignore everything else.

I like strong opinions. Not confident, no no. I mean strong, in-depth thoughts. The ones that, as someone’s talking about it, you know they spent countless nights awake thinking about it. They’re so passionate, you can feel their thoughts. I like those kind of people, where are you?

I like people who find a way.

There is always a way.

Those who are the greatest fools in this world and those who have obtained supreme intelligence are the ones who are in the midst of happiness.

Suffering is for those who are in the middle.

This sentence by Dostoyevsky hits so hard.

“You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you.”

what’s your unmodelable edge?

the most underrated hire right now is a great product person.

when i say product person i'm def not talking about a product manager. perhaps i think there has to be somewhat of a new role. i don't have a good name for it yet but maybe something like "product thinker".. someone with an intuitive grasp of the product as it exists, where it's soft, where it sings, & how to iterate it toward something even sharper. in some sense, this person has to cohesively hold in their head where this product should be 2 years from now & work backwards from that.

i say this cuz when building was hard, engineering was the bottleneck & the status hierarchy often reflected that. building is no longer hard. which means the variance in outcomes has shifted almost entirely to judgment on what to build, how to sequence it, & how to talk about it.

& the story matters as much as the thing. internally, it organizes the team around a shared model of why. externally, it shapes the interpretive frame users bring to their first experience. you can't retrofit narrative onto a product & expect it to land, it has to be load bearing from the start.

the rarest version of this person sits at the intersection of culture & deep technology. someone genuinely bilingual. they know what's technically possible & they know which cultural currents are real vs. ephemeral. that combo is what separates products that feel inevitable from products that feel assembled.

before ppl clap back with this person has always been valuable, i know.. i am just saying now they might be the most *important* person in the room. their value compounds like never before.

the more I talk to ambitious people, the more obvious it becomes: the real flex is emotional stability plus long attention span.

so sick of this shit man. so tired of it. killing off god was too much for some people. god gave you one life and you choose to spend it not being aware of the world around you

[signüll @signulll]

the people who give attention selectively & receive it without needing to chase it have a kind of social capital that’s genuinely hard to acquire cuz the whole environment is optimized against developing it.

The lesson of Substack is that people want to support each other in the concrete, not in the abstract.

Some people are so insecure that they prefer to make you believe they lied rather than admit they made a mistake.

[signüll @signulll]

if you can tame & deeply understand your emotions they are 10x more powerful than pure rationality.

raw logic moves pieces. mastered emotion moves ppl, timing, & yourself.

nothing is more powerful than a dude who is in full command his emotions (both input & output).

Happy New Year, everyone.

Intimidate everyone with your unrealistic goals. It doesn’t matter. One life.

Win everything. Atleast try.

No other way. See you in 2024.

Agency and taste are the things humans have to do. Everything else the machines can do.
