Excited to continue my journey building mental health tech @spring_health (series D, $2.5B cap)!

We're launching a new venture within Spring and hiring senior engineers to create a stellar founding team.

Small, fast-paced team of builders and ex-founders in person in SF.

Just installed the first (1.0?) OTM update for my methaphone - thanks @MethaphoneNotes @ericantonow

[Matteo Palvarini @teopalva]

@lessin I'm already addicted to my Methaphone.

@patrickc Patrick's previous sleep mask rec: https://t.co/1Ootuhoihy

[Patrick Collison @patrickc]

For a long time, I thought that sleep masks were pretty weird. Then I got one and found myself consistently sleeping for an additional 30-60 mins per night. https://t.co/6S6e2iaARh

People want to work for (or build!) companies that are both robust businesses *and* a force for good.

As this movement accelerates, I believe we’ll see more professionals running toward roles that not only challenge them technically but also align with their personal values.

[Matteo Palvarini @teopalva]

The most consistent interview pattern I’m seeing as we build a new team in health tech:

A strong pull from candidates who are genuinely and intrinsically motivated to work on something they care about and that makes a positive change in the world.

[Matteo Palvarini @teopalva]

Hot take (as an Italian) -

The serving order of Primo and Secondo should we switched.

It is metabolically healthier to front load protein, fiber, and fats as shown by simply wearing a CGM.

[Matteo Palvarini @teopalva]

The first is a technical skill that can be learned.

The second is a mindset shift and exercise in letting go of old patterns.

[Matteo Palvarini @teopalva]

The rise of the "AI engineer" is highlighting 2 challenges for traditional devs:

1) They need to learn how to program a computer using natural language and its nuances

2) They need to embrace change and accept that many problems can now be solved with completely new approaches

[Matteo Palvarini @teopalva]

@ryanflorence I'm building an app in Remix and one in Next app router. Noticed the same mapping of concepts but Remix learning curve was much easier and more intuitive.

@typesfast Good content for @techroastshow.

Reminder (to self): a simple "are you ok" can make someone's day.

Yesterday at the Caltrain I got harassed by a lady with mental health problems.
A passerby noticed it and asked me: "are you ok?". I immediately noticed a shift from agitated/triggered to appreciative/calm.

@agarwal Now, try @Cruise self driving for the complete opposite experience - smoothest ride ever.

"Let me ask ChatGPT"
is the new
"Let me Google it for you"

[Matteo Palvarini @teopalva]

@Klintcho Yes. Anything that's a transactional job to be done with the help of an assistant feels appropriate for chat/voice. More complex use cases, esp B2B, will need new UX paradigms that integrate the generative step with other affordances.

"web3" is really about AI.

6 ideas (and open questions) from the ChatGPT Plugins Hackathon at Shack15 this past weekend 👇

[Matteo Palvarini @teopalva]

We built a plugin called Tiramisu - your sweetest productivity tool to help plan and schedule your life via GCalendar integration: just ask ChatGPT to create a meal plan or workout schedule for you and it will add events to your cal taking into account preferences and conflicts.

6b. A user prompt in natural language results in server taking action, with nothing in-between - no code to call an API nor to interpret the response - all taken care of by the model! Eventually, all service-to-service communication may happen without any code written by a dev 🤯
