Building something new, stealthily. Prev Product @GoogleLabs, @brexHQ. Highlights from my travels, virtual and tangible. Opinions are my own.

"Be credible and be human." Influence is a tier 1 skill, and this one has lots of quick, actionable advice to develop influence skills for PMs, e.g. I often reco PMs to try out empathy maps for their stakeholders. https://t.co/wjmog12crW

Heard at an event recently we shouldn't gatekeep our best founder hacks so we're aggressively sharing (🥁) one of our favorites we made.

As our army of Agents work across every function, they are constantly making things for humans to review - demos+pitches for customers, prototypes for feedback, and internal plans to align on.
We do most of these in HTML (more on this in a future post), and needed a model-agnostic way to get those in the hands of any human, so we created sharenow!

So pumped for https://t.co/8WTbTCQPAp to be featured on https://t.co/ok20pKHJBr! 🚀
Hopefully it's as big of an unlock for others - share your sharing!

https://t.co/cCnRtMmO9k is listed on https://t.co/qizrSNPNYU ! OMG!

LFG! 🚀🚀🚀
Special thanks to @travisstreet_ !

Tried the new Grok Bot today.

I asked Grok Bot one thing: explain how Grok Bot works and publish it to https://t.co/SQbNVdn5N9.

It wrote the page and handed me a live URL in the same chat.

Your agent can already do the work. Now it can publish it, too.

@shaunxsingh Congrats! This is the future I would like.

[Nick @thenicksharma]

Not to mention @BillSimmons too! Think he called out this exact commentary in his recap. https://t.co/7bd2MFme58

Does Bill know he could dominate @ringer fantasy league if he popped by TLPTC in LA?

Hey @HarrisFootball , you ever get proper credit from @TomBrady on this JSN "smoothness" call? Harris was def first to call this out in the 2025 Almanac...and led to many possum-champs last year! At least he could have sent you some wild grain or smth🛥️♣️

"A lot of receivers, when they run if they're speeding up or stopping, their shoulder plane will rise or fall. He maintains the same shoulder plane when he runs his route."

🧠 @TomBrady breaks down what makes @jaxon_smith1's skillset so special.

This is unquestionably the future. There's a massive gap from "i vibe-coded this on Lovable" and what it takes to actually get that business up and running, sometimes covering 15+ accounts, integrations, and keys.
Seems like the classic - what we're doing today will feel crazy in 12 months

we’re likely approaching an era where most new people starting their careers, or shifting their career, will start their own small businesses - perhaps multiple small and semi-autonomous businesses.

and we’ll see more and more plumbing to support this future…

The Gemini 3.5 Flash hallucination rate somehow keeps getting worse? It is so eager to please that on multiple evals it will confidently give two totally different answers within 2 turns of each other. I really can't fathom a real team trusting this model with any real work. Is Gemini the new MSOffice?

Just reverse engineered my Oura Ring 5 so I can control my computer like a wizzard. @ouraring please send my love to whoever buried a feature to stream live accelerometer data

Is this the golden triangle of token usage?

To paraphrase one my favorite managers ever - it’s LFG time!

[Nick @thenicksharma]

After 5 years, last wk I closed my Googl-era to build something new. I’m so thankful to the incredible Play & Labs teams for the unforgettable ride, and to the millions of developers and users who we got to serve along the way.🙏

I can’t wait to share what we’ve been cooking.🚀

[Finn Mallery @fin465]

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

[Nick @thenicksharma]

This seems like a classic @DanielLurie pop by event!

Also, maybe we don't shut down awesome neighborhood staples, Daniel? Surely there are bigger problems for the city to spend resources on. Surrrelllyyy

Stupid simple, but most powerful Claude skill I run.

Every Monday at 9am, Cowork scans my Linear, Notion, Slack, Gmail, and Cowork sessions to identify repeatable processes that should become skills.

It allows me to proactively become more AI-native without making it my full-time job.

Somebody please invent an earbud case that doesn't explode immediately when to touches any surface.

[Nick @thenicksharma]

It's simultaneously rocket fuel direct to the system and absolutely exhausting. But you can't stop and don't want to stop. LFG

[Nick @thenicksharma]

There are so man small details of the @Waymo experience that stack up to make a 10x diff. Today's favorite: adjusting the legroom in-app before I even get to the car.

I'm immediately in max comfort and can just focus on something more impt.

solving Papercuts really adds up!
