they've been non stop trying to attack our systems for the past 48 hours
a side effect is everything is getting hardened but damn we basically need agents going 24/7
because that's what they have
If everyone hasn't realized by now - building startups is just the new age version of war and nationbuilding:
Entering new markets = taking new land
Competition = warring countries
Compounding moats = building competitive advantage
Strategy = how will you outmaneuver the competition
We've defined our ideal community member as the economic athlete who treats building wealth as a high-performance sport.

We need more melody-making in storytelling.
How can something so utterly simple βΒ like the melody of Coldplay's Yellow βΒ enrapture our minds that we'll forever remember and stir something emotionally within us?
My piano professor told me, those who can create great melodies might as well be magicians.
Almost nobody teaches how to construct a simple, but beautiful melody. Too much of musical teaching is focused on harmony. They implicitly say, "the more complex, the better."
Sure, you can reverse-engineer a great melody. This interval here, this interval there, pause on this note, etc.
But that's missing the point. Melodies are created from the depth of the human experience, artistic yearning expressed outward into a string of notes that we hold emotional attachment to.
I can't help but think about this in relation to tech storytelling.
We can get all tacky and say we should do x, y, z β another system, another playbook, another sophisticated way to reel in more customers. That's also missing the point.
The goal is to strip all of it away and fully internalize:
Who are you serving? What do you believe in? Why should people care? Why should you fight day and night to make this possible?
Melody-making first. The rest will piece together as a result.
Amazon banning agents is the first opportunity I've seen since Amazon was founded for a startup to create an Amazon competitor. People will want agents to buy stuff for them. It will be one of the main use cases. And they won't want to use some Amazon-supplied agent to do it.
