Tomorrow, @vercel and @OpenAI are taking over Shoreditch, with 200 builders shipping something real.

We are sold out with 1.5K(!!) sign ups, and actively reviewing the waitlist wherever we can fit more of you in.

A room of problem solvers, investors and special guests from our leadership teams and partners. CAN’T WAIT 🤝

See you there?

@shundikd Не скажу за фʼюжн, але блендер «легкий». На прошці м1 працювало супер. Якщо користуватись іві, то буде достатньо, бо іві дуже швидкий

@whoiskatrin A friend of mine is lending me an Olympus tomorrow. Got some rolls already. So excited!

Embrace the weirdness inside you

[Tobias van Schneider @vanschneider]

We like a person to be neat and tidy today.

You say you stand for something? Well, what about this thing you posted in 2012 that says otherwise?

You want to build a following? Choose a niche and stick to it, or your audience and the algorithm may turn against you.

You want a healthy relationship? You’d better fit into the box the internet has drawn for what defines a good partner.

In an increasingly homogenized world where we’re all watching the same Reels and TikTok videos, we’ve started defining ourselves by viral trends and reductive concepts. When the reality is: nobody is consistently any one thing. Everyone is a mess of contradictions.

We may try to curate a certain mood online, build our brand on Instagram, define ourselves by a job, a cause, a style or specific personality traits, and we may succeed to a certain extent. But we are never consistently any of those things. And by trying to be, we corner ourselves. An actor takes a different kind of role, a politician changes their mind on an issue, a musician tries a different style, and everyone has something to say about it. People like you to be something they understand. Or as Steinbeck puts it: “People like you to be something, preferably what they are.”

Our real lives are inextricably linked with our online lives now, and online platforms reward consistency too. The algo working behind the scenes bullies you toward it, to the point where you get nervous to do anything that might displease it. Inevitably, between the algorithm, the virtue signalers and morality police, the interesting bumps and grooves and unexpected turns in a person get smoothed out. We subconsciously learn to meet expectations.

Which I find so, so boring. Uninspiring! A waste!

Who are we flattening ourselves for, anyway? A bunch of distracted, half-asleep people who don’t know us. A prediction machine designed to make money.

We have to carve out a space, so to speak, where we don’t have to smooth. Where we can be our messy, contradicting selves with all our rough edges, which is so much more interesting and life-giving. In the real world offline, this is hard - it means finding friends or communities who understand and appreciate you in all your inconsistencies, who lean toward curiosity over judgment. Online, it’s getting much harder, which is why we made mymind.

@mymind is private, meaning no audience is watching, nobody’s liking or commenting, nothing’s guiding your attention or stealing it, no algorithm overlord is standing over you. Which allows you to stop curating and suppressing and cramming yourself into a box, and just be.

The things I save in mymind only make sense to me. Like: 90s interiors with overstuffed striped couches, but also y2k spaces with translucent walls and glowy blue lights. Like: articles about living a vegan lifestyle beside recipes for lamb ragu. Like: a prairie dress and a men’s Japanese-designed blazer. Like: a guide to vibe coding beside a personal manifesto against AI. None of these things fit one version of me. None of them work on a curated Instagram grid. The algorithm would glitch trying to make sense of it all. And that’s the beauty in it. I am free to be my most contradicting, nonsensical, real self. And somewhere between it all, because of it all, I find new ideas. Inspiration from the contrasts, new versions of me.

Our real minds and personalities aren’t perfect mood boards. mymind isn’t either. In mymind I am ironic and sincere, an intellectual and a philistine, a lover of Didion and dad jokes, a dreamer and a cynic.

Whether you use mymind or not, find a place where you can be beautifully chaotic and messy and contradictory, where you can follow your own interests without the need to perform for anybody or explain yourself. In a world where everything else is highly curated and streamlined for attention, everyone should have a digital and physical space like this.

Please, I beg of you: Embrace the weirdness inside you.

@JAHkatta А чим ти зараз займаєшся?

[Julia 🇺🇦 @jaybah]

@novikoff Mum, I’m in a movie!

[Tobias van Schneider @vanschneider]

Spoke with many friends recently, designers and engineers, all people who've been doing it for 20 years or more and had a lot of success doing it.

And they all say the same thing. The AI stuff is genuinely useful right now. It's fast and things that used to take a week take an afternoon. Things you never even attempted because there was no time, now you can just do them. It's the biggest enabler ever.

But in the same breath, every single one also says that it's the least fun they've ever had in their entire career. They also mention it makes no sense to do it the old way. They're all in.

It's a strange paradox which I feel myself. Everything is possible now and I've never cared less about any of it. Both things true at once.

Not sure if thats just the feeling of the current moment, or if I just talked to people who're tired of the computer (since all of them been doing it for a long time).

@_kadzilla А мені здається головне тут буде топ, а не сам лак. У мене лаки, навіть гель лаки взагалі не тримаються. Якщо є поради по топам, радьте будь ласка
