@EcZachly The only question that matters is - are you happier? Motivation is a combination of internal and external factors.

@ivanburazin 💯. UI is custom and trust in managed software will become the differentiator for vendors

[Jay Al @jayalm]

@thdxr I called myself the code janitor doing exactly this. Personally nothing gives me more joy than making the code sing all the way down to the hardware execution

[Jay Al @jayalm]

@gregisenberg Contrarian take - the headless trend will unlock more usage of Salesforce and other providers. They will control the only defensible surface - data. This wave of openness will enable operators and consultants to build products which eventually get eaten up by the data layers

[Jay Al @jayalm]

AI has made the UI layer "personal". You can use chat-based Agents, vibe-coded applications connected to any service like Salesforce. This flexibility enables business to customize their workflows for themselves.

It moves thinking from xyz in CRM to my business problems

A 70-year-old WSJ reader ends his emails with this autosignature:

God grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked, the good fortune to run into the ones that I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

[Rutu Mulkar @rutumulkar]

AI is trained on data, and it emulates the examples it has seen to repeat it in a meaningful way. Creating new art, or fundamentally new pieces of data has been outside the scope of AI as it stands currently. Today, AI is a mathematical optimization of data.

@abhijitvkale And we spend our whole lives squabbling over having a few sq metres of space to live on. Humanity could go places if we think bigger

@AleResnik @Austen Check out Canada’s revamped guide. The meat industry was not impressed…

So true

[Jack Altman @jaltma]

Struggling to manage your own psychology holds lots of people back from reaching their full potential (my lens is for founders but I think this is true for everyone).

Here are a few things I’ve learned trying to keep my own head on straight while building a company:

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

At some point we all decide whether to become obsessed with our own self-worth or somebody else’s net worth.

[Kunal Shah @kunalb11]

Being in the future often leads to anxiety.

Being in the past often leads to depression.

Being in the present through mindfulness/meditation stops you from being a perpetual time traveler, allowing you to take care of yourself in the moment.

@prachigu @Piwai I am very sorry that they actively sought to limit rather than celebrate your accomplishments. To recover from such wounds is hard, but you are doing amazing.

Tobi Lutke (@tobi) is the CEO of Shopify

He's one of my favorite CLEAR thinkers

I spent some time in lockdown going through his interviews

Here are 6 mental models I got from it

You cannot beat a river into submission. You have to surrender to its current and use its power as its own. Silence your ego, and your power will rise

[Shane Parrish @shaneparrish]

Be impatient with progress but patient with people.

[Jay Al @jayalm]

@Austen Will you go back to the old ways if the stay at home order is lifted?
