16 things that will be normal in 3 years and sound insane today

1. Somebody's entire job is making sure your agents don't do dumb things.

2. Kids grow up assuming any adult who types is old, the way we assume anyone who prints emails is old.

3. You get an itemized bill for what your agents bought last month and it reads like an expense report from a small company.

4. Someone you've never met sells you a business that runs itself, and you never learn what the code does.

5. Your doctor's first opinion comes from a model, and the human's job is deciding whether to trust it.

6. Job posts will say "must be able to manage agents" the same way they used to say "proficient in Excel."

7. The best-paid person at a company will be whoever's best at explaining the business to machines.

8. Your company has more agents than employees, and HR manages both.

9. Companies start hiding how few employees they have, because a lean team reads as fragile to enterprise buyers.

10. Your calendar fills with meetings you didn't schedule, because your agent and their agent worked it out.

11. The CV dies and gets replaced by a body of work an agent can verify in 4 seconds.

12. You interview an agent before you hire it. Give it a fake task, watch how it handles the weird cases, then decide.

13. Losing your job means losing your agents too, and it's kinda scary losing your best agents.

14. "Made by a person" becomes a label on products, and there's a certification body for it.

15. You'll have a folder of agents the way you have a folder of apps

16. Getting a human on the phone becomes a paid tier, and people gladly pay it.

My one boring tip to anyone in their 20s is to resist the temptation to rot in your room every time you get a free moment. Dismiss any neuroses you have about going outside and "being perceived". Be a dictator about it, plan your hangouts like they are binding commitments. No excuses! Go to the bar with your friends. Be kinda hungover at work. Socializing is like exercise; even if you don't feel like you want to, you should still do it because it's good for you.

"Sales is like dating."

Simon Sinek compared a sales call to a first date, and it's one of the best analogies I've heard.

Imagine spending an entire date listening to your date talk about how successful they are, how big their house is, and how many famous people they know.

You probably won't give them a second chance.

Yet that's exactly how most sales calls sound.

"We're the biggest company..." "We've been in business for 20 years..." "So and so big company has used our product..." Blah blah blah.

Customers already know what you do.

What they're trying to figure out is why they should care.

As Simon puts it, people "fall in love with doing business with you" because they believe what you believe, not because you happen to have the right price or the longest feature list.

People connect with why you do what you do, not just what you have.

That sense of purpose creates relationships.
And relationships are what customers stay loyal to.

Do you think Simon is right?

The obvious way to buy back your time is to pay someone to do something for you. Pay the mechanic to change your oil or a dry cleaner to press your suit.

The less obvious way to buy back your time is to say no. Passing on a promotion might "buy" you more time with family. Declining the dinner invite might "pay" for the time you need to exercise. We buy back our time not only with the money we spend, but also with the opportunities we decline.

The more clearly you know how you want to spend your days, the easier it becomes to say no to the requests that steal your hours.

🚨 Anthropic just showed a 27-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude.

Taught by the people who built it.

Free. No registration. No paywall.

I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes.

Watch the session

The excuse for murdering 70,000 people in Gaza was “October 7”

What’s the excuse for the mass murder going on in Lebanon now? “Because we can”?

[James Clear @JamesClear]

In theory, consistency is about being disciplined, determined, and unwavering.

In practice, consistency is about being adaptable. Don't have much time? Scale it down. Don't have much energy? Do the easy version. Find different ways to show up depending on the circumstances. Let your habits change shape to meet the demands of the day.

Adaptability is the way of consistency.

Explained to 14 yo how you can multiply numbers by adding their logarithms (and divide by subtracting them), and how before calculators this was a critical hack for doing calculations.

[Daily Stoic @dailystoic]

Everything that goes wrong is just an opportunity to practice a virtue.

One obstacle gives you a chance to practice controlling your temper.

Another perseverance.

Another a chance to take a long walk through the park. There is always something you can—and need to—practice on.

Major cheat code in life: One priority per day. Not three. Not five. One. Pick the single thing that, if completed, makes the day a win regardless of what else happens.
Protect two hours for it. Most people go entire weeks without finishing anything that actually matters because everything feels equally urgent.

[Dickie Bush @dickiebush]

Easy words to cut from your writing:

• In order to → to
• Take action → act
• In the event of → if
• Equally as → equally
• Advance plan → plan
• For the purpose of → to

Creates instant clarity for the reader.

Abigail Disney famously shared what happened to her dad when he began flying private:

"So all of the sudden, we went from being comfortable, upper-middle-class people to suddenly my dad had a private jet. That's when I feel that my dad really lost his way in life..."

"If I were queen of the world, I would pass a law against private jets, because they enable you to get around a certain reality. You don't have to go through an airport terminal, you don't have to interact, you don't have to be patient, you don't have to be uncomfortable. These are the things that remind us we're human"
