Whatever it takes to get a clean win is valid.

[Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings]

"If you’re serious about a startup and want to win, whatever you can get done in 5 days, you’ll get more done in 6 and 7.

If you want to solve the biggest problems, you should go all out.

If you’re doing something, you should do it properly, not half-ass it." @nico_laqua

Love to hear your thoughts on this @rabois @marcrandolph @alanchanguk @adarsh_exe

@Stammy @sesame This is awesome - downloaded!

1. Feature request - is their way to generate a deeplink so that i have a cal invite that opens Sesame right on a call?
2. Question - are the web and ios version synced (e.g. in terms of memories so i can use either)

Today, I'm incredibly excited to announce @withdefault's Series A led by @8vc and our new product.

We spent the last three years building the tools and orchestration layer companies like @owner and @AirbyteHQ have used to build infrastructure across their go-to-market functions.

Today, we're launching the first real-time data layer for go-to-market, a powerful new revenue agent, and a suite of tools for revenue teams and their agents.

It's Day 1.

@nicoaferr @mprkhrst @withdefault @8vc @owner @AirbyteHQ Let’s go!!

@cjc I think this is unfortunately engagement bait and along the same vibe of the article that went viral a few weeks ago about sf permanent underclass.

[Xavier Pladevall @pladevall]

@aaron_epstein @garrytan Being proactive about this not just to close the deal at the end. Offer to do this day 1

[Xavier Pladevall @pladevall]

@lukeharries ^ Bullish as well on this! I think the tasks will be broken down and substituted in steps vs. all at once (like technology usually does).

E.g. you might AI to monitor your baby and rock the bed so you no longer need sleep in nanny just day nanny or something.

Everything service related! Some more:

Common services
1. Plumbers
2. Electricians
3. Mechanic

High-end services
1. Luxury hotel staff
2. Luxury RE agents
3. Luxury retail sales rep

And of course - sex work (qualifies for both buckets).

[Luke Harries @lukeharries]

My current ranking for jobs least impacted by AI:
1. Professionals sports and actors
2. Deal making (M&A + sales)
3. Capital allocators (VCs, PE, public market investors)
4. Regulated industries (doctors, lawyers)

@raycast @peduarte a great snippet i've enjoyed using is just typing aiai to text expand this when I am drafting something w/ Claude/Cursor 👇

Remove signs of AI writing:

1. Remove em dashes; never use them
2. Avoid the “It’s not X, it’s Y” pattern
3. Don’t open with “At its core,” “Fundamentally,” or “Essentially”
4. Skip “Notably,” “Interestingly,” and “The key insight is…”
5. Don’t say “Let me break this down for you”
6. Don’t use “As mentioned earlier” when nothing was mentioned
7. Avoid overusing “Furthermore,” “Moreover,” and “Additionally”
8. Don’t say “It’s important to note that”
9. Avoid “In today’s world” or “In this day and age”
10. Don’t say “I appreciate your question”
11. Avoid an overly formal or polished tone in casual contexts
12. Remove hedging like “arguably,” “one could say,” and “it could be argued”
13. Skip generic hype words like “exciting,” “innovative,” and “transformative”
14. Don’t use “This is a great question”
15. Avoid repeating the same idea in different words

[Xavier Pladevall @pladevall]

Might be a weird question do you think we might see more application layer companies becoming neoclouds and almost verticalizing around the workflows they own (or want to own)?

Seems weird to say but even a very consumer like company like @NotionHQ releasing workers / handling infra for people I can see it getting real workloads over time.

[Xavier Pladevall @pladevall]

@rrhoover 4. Sling SPVs in any of the above

[Xavier Pladevall @pladevall]

@justinmfarrugia Pretty cool that you never know where it’s going to come from 😂

[Xavier Pladevall @pladevall]

@MitcheIl Let’s see it 🫡

[Xavier Pladevall @pladevall]

@thatguybg was about to comment banger then saw the first comment 😂

[Xavier Pladevall @pladevall]

@tj_littlejohn yes sir rip.

[Xavier Pladevall @pladevall]

Regretting right about now moving to a new infra provider.

GCP is expensive / clunky but man is it reliable.

[Xavier Pladevall @pladevall]

@justinmfarrugia Damn you cooked him 😂

[Xavier Pladevall @pladevall]

@ngeloxyz hey love Railway but we have been having some issues mind if I DM you / slack?

[Xavier Pladevall @pladevall]

I don’t understand the need for these really long articles that read like AI from folks I really respect.

@hnshah I think you’re truly insightful and the content is important but the fact that it feels so AI written kinda contradicts the ethos of your post?
