simple way to build generational wealth is just dump your 401k into any ceo who wields a sword

@tjparker @signulll Me too

[David French @DavidAFrench]

My goodness. This is beautiful.

[Pat Kinsel @patk]

Agree. Resiliency is everything.

[Goshawk Trades @GoshawkTrades]

Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel:

"show me an athlete who did well academically."

"an athlete because they know what it takes to win and they've had to experience loss."

talent is everywhere. what's rare is someone who knows how to lose, recover, and still perform at a high level.

same thing separates profitable traders from everyone else.

What’s so interesting is the funds with the most seed investments to cross $100M in rev all basically deploy a filtered spray and pray strategy. YC’s filter is community. Others use scouts. This is why angel investing and thinking you personally are gonna pick ONE investment is so foolhardy. To win in seed you have to make a lot of bets.

[Dealroom.co @dealroomco]

Only 11% of investors have ever backed a Seed winner that crossed $100M in revenue.

Just ~1.5% of VC-backed startups ever reach $100M+ in revenue, so backing even one is rare.

Of the 19,581 investors in our dataset, 17,445 (89.1%) have never done it; another 8.2% have done it exactly once.

Just 25 investors — the top 0.13% — have produced 11 or more such winners. That handful drives a disproportionate share of venture returns.

This joke just keeps on giving

[james hawkins @james406]

i think i messed up

i asked Claude Code to "build a Docusign clone with zero errors"

i guess it took it too literally, and immediately spawned 3 million employee agents who don't do anything

so far all they've done is create a Slack and ask "any update on this?" to each other all day

lesson: startups are hard

Me speaking to the AI...

[Pat Kinsel @patk]

All of the plugins, skills, and Claude best practices have made this site fun again.

@CristinCulver this was me trying to show empathy and acknowledging the effect i must have on people

When your boss says "we'll get it done somehow" and you realize you're the somehow

@tjparker @StuartBlitz Yes. Kindle is the solve

An advertisement that proudly brags about copying other named apps is awful.

CES diplomas clearly lacked an ethics course.

[Shipper @shipper_now]

Today, we've ended vibe coding as a whole.

I just watched my Mac build a complete business in 183 seconds.

This is just absurd.

[Pat Kinsel @patk]

@bhalligan A lesson I learn every day

[Pat Kinsel @patk]

@bhalligan agree and i don't plan to pick that battle.

i'm going to try to figure out who is still here vs not in some systematic way. might be a nothing burger.

[Pat Kinsel @patk]

Hire a driver my dude

JUST IN: Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, on Friday afternoon, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said.

His condition was not immediately clear. https://t.co/QUUUFJafOL

@tjparker I am deeply convinced that allowing a young kid to chart their own course down a steep mountain on skis is one of the most empowering experiences you can give them. Even though you're right behind them, they just see freedom and feel enormous accomplishment.

For @USWREMichael, @DarioAmodei is the new @dkhos.

If you’re a Twitter OG you’ll understand.

[Under Secretary of War Emil Michael @USWREMichael]

Anthropic is lying. The @DeptofWar doesn’t do mass surveillance as that is already illegal. What we are talking about is allowing our warfighters to use AI without having to call @DarioAmodei for permission to shoot down an enemy drone swarms that would kill Americans. #CallDario

@Anpalacios5 @scipio_yo @mccrystal_alex my point is simply that she will still be able to enjoy the sport she loves
