"If life is set to 'Hard Mode,' don't expect to beat the game with a shortcut."
I really feel this. In business, there’s often a lot of "garbage time." Look at Jeremy Lin, he rotted on the bench until that one moment with the Knicks.
If he hadn't spent that time grinding in the shadows, he would’ve just been another casualty when his name was called. He had to stay ready while others were born with god-tier talent.
Following the Moneyball theory: you don’t need a home run every time you’re at bat. Like in F1, it’s about finding an extra 0.1s in every corner. Accumulate that over ten laps, and that’s the gap between a contender and a champion (funny enough, Brad Pitt starred in both movies).
If you’re fast, steal bases. If you’re a mid-range shooter, don't force the three-pointer. Don’t try to do everything yourself; let the specialists handle their craft.
Division of labor is everything.
And if you truly can’t win the fight, change the arena. If you can’t beat the "Pro League," go dominate the "College League." Many Taiwanese digital companies are thriving in Japan because they chose not to ram their heads against a wall at home.
"There's a point at 7,000 RPM where everything fades. The machine becomes weightless. It just disappears."
The most valuable skill sets on the planet right now:
1. people who can set up agents properly, manage them, and run local AI models
2. marketers who know how to build distribution
3. robotics engineers who can do all three: build the hardware, wire in the AI, and source manufacturing etc
4. curators who are good at yapping and can do short form video in their sleep
5. the builder-distributor. The one person who can both ship the product AND get it in front of people
6. IRL community builders
🚨Anthropic just showed a 24-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 it and bookmark it now.
Many people think any given ML project is 99% training.
In reality, it’s 50% evaluation, 40% data cleaning, 8% integration, and 2% training.
The first two set the noise floor for learning. No ML magic matters; the model cannot lower the noise floor, as that’s the optimal bound of Shannon encoding of your data.
Thus, not a single day goes by without me thinking about ontology. Even the old labels have to be constantly reviewed.
SOMEONE VIBE CODED POKEMON GO BUT FOR CATS YOU MEET IN REAL LIFE
see a cat, open the camera, snap it, and it gets added to your collection as a little creature with a name, rarity, level, and its own stats page
> checks the photo actually has a real cat in it, so you cant just screenshot one or use an image
> every cat you catch gets a rarity and its own collectible card
> a world map shows cats other players have found near you
> has retro cartoon art, cream colors and thick outlines, built to feel like a game
he wanted "snapping" a cat to feel playful and fast, not like just saving a photo
so most of the work went into the detection and making the catch feel like a real game

I built Polsia into a $250M company in under 3 months.
Solo + AI. Zero employees.
Everyone asks me how I did it.
Introducing aisloP, a docu-series on how I build Polsia.
Episode 1: The Launch.
How I orchestrated the biggest Twitter launch of 2026.
AI is making marketers lazy.
So we made the website do the work instead. Today, we're launching @ployai: the all-in-one marketing platform that turns your website into your hardest working employee.
And we're coming out of stealth today with a $27M seed led by @ycombinator and @firstround.
I spent 12 years at Webflow as the founding CTO where I built the product, but also started our marketing and sales teams that drove our fastest periods of growth. That experience made one thing obvious: the website is the center of your business. And it's only more important in the age of AI.
Foundation model apps can generate assets.
Point solutions can optimize pieces of the funnel.
But nothing runs the whole growth system: your site, brand, CMS, CRM, campaigns, analytics, SEO, AEO, and customer data all working together.
Until now.
Teams at @hex_tech and @clay_run, and growth agencies like Tonik and TNT Growth, are already powering sites on Ploy. Hex is generating on-brand ABM pages at scale, Clay is using its data to power a programmatic SEO engine, and TNT Growth is spinning up a landing page for each of their clients’ ads.
Wake up every morning with a report from Ploy - with what it did, and what it wants to do next.
Approve it. Ship it.
Or be lazy and just watch it cook.
this is f*cking gold
How to build your first AI agent (Full guide)
if I had this a year ago, I would've shipped my first agent in a day instead of 2 weeks
in the right hands, this changes everything:
everyone's sleeping on how absurdly good 2026 is to start a company (even compared to 2024)
one person can now:
- ship full apps without engineers (cursor, replit)
- design without being a designer (v0, Claude Design)
- turn one video into 10 clips (opus, descript)
- push those clips to millions (X, Linkedin, TikTok)
- replace a support team (chatbase, intercom)
- literally watch exactly what their users do (Posthog)
- find + target perfect leads on autopilot (origami)
This is such a rare window. I just can’t imagine it being this easy ever again
