The simpler way is to just unfollow, but building is more fun. ;) @karpathy

@garrytan Never thought I'd come across a piece of content linked from a markdown file.

The older I get, the more I realize intelligence is overrated. Intelligent people are more likely to overthink, overplan, and overanalyze. They hide behind motion that doesn't create progress. They fear the judgment of others if they're proven wrong.

The truth is that intelligence is abundant. Courage is not. The people you admire are the ones who had the courage to act. They aren’t more talented than you. They aren’t smarter than you. They just took action when you didn’t.

I often wonder how many extraordinary people wasted their entire lives waiting for permission that never came. Permission isn't granted. It's taken. You get to tap yourself in whenever you want. You can just do things.

Courage beats intelligence.

@jasonlk The value prop is the same as before. Just get the job done.
The expectations are just now higher.

@jasonfried True. I have a nice oven but I still like to eat out.

But maybe some software builders can get back to the essence of why it's needed instead of the bloat we see in many products today.

This is the "learn everything, understand nothing" trap.

15 tools in one weekend means you spend 45 minutes with each. That is enough time to follow a tutorial, copy some prompts, and feel productive. It is not enough time to understand why something works or what breaks when the tutorial ends.

The engineers I work with who actually ship with AI tools picked one, maybe two, and went deep. They understand the failure modes. They know when the tool hallucinates. They can debug the output instead of just regenerating until it looks right.

The uncomfortable pattern I keep seeing: people who "learned" 10 AI tools in a month but cannot explain what any of them actually do under the hood. They are collecting screenshots of outputs, not building real understanding.

So if you want to actually benefit from this weekend, pick one tool. Build something real with it. Break it. Fix it. That is worth more than 15 tutorials combined.

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.
