Building things, learning as I go, and writing down what sticks

[Ty @thetycook]

Arrived at my spot for Labor Day weekend.

Ten minutes later, I saw a pack of wild horses with these two running through the trees.

Not a bad place to disappear for for a few days. Time for a proper reset.

[Ty @thetycook]

What does a productive weekend actually look like?

My answer:

Do one thing for your future.
One thing for your body.
One thing for someone you care about.

At least, that’s how I try to structure mine.

@dantefofante work itself isn’t always the problem. the problem is letting one answer to “what do you do?” become your entire identity

@stijnnoorman boredom is where your brain finally has enough unused capacity to notice what it has been avoiding

[Ty @thetycook]

The biggest improvements in my life haven’t come from doing more. They’ve come from identifying the constraint.

Sometimes it’s time. Sometimes it’s energy. Most often, it’s attention.

You don’t need to optimize everything. You need to find the bottleneck.

What’s holding you back most right now: time, energy, or attention?

@KyleReidhead what impresses me is that the power-shortage thesis is finally showing up in the financials: revenue up 166%, gross margin up nearly 7 points, and positive operating cash flow

question now is whether bloom can diversify demand—one customer represented 73% of first-half revenue

@theblockspot boulder. hard to beat a college town where the mountains feel like part of the campus

@ChrisCamillo a great model of how people should behave can still be a terrible model of how they actually behave. markets price the second one

[Ty @thetycook]

@itsolelehmann when the cost of building approaches zero, choosing what deserves to exist becomes the expensive part

[Ty @thetycook]

My biggest takeaway for having a successful day is to start by doing something hard.

Wake up early. Get the workout in. Finish the task you’ve been avoiding.

That first win gives you a sense of accomplishment that carries into everything you do afterward.

@HarryStebbings this also makes nvidia less dependent on any one closed model company. open-source demand still becomes compute demand, and now they own part of the distribution layer too

[Ty @thetycook]

GPT-6 Astra can apparently do almost anything you can do on a computer

the bottleneck is becoming less about knowing how to do the work and more about knowing what work is actually worth doing

[Ty @thetycook]

@byaarav a weekend proves you can build it. the second week proves you actually care about it

[Ty @thetycook]

@LeilaHormozi overexplaining is usually a thinking problem before it’s a writing problem

[Ty @thetycook]

@Gaus450 probably. someone else building it is proof people want it. you just need a reason for yours to exist too

[Ty @thetycook]

Been reading people’s thoughts on here for a while without sharing many of my own.

I’m 23, curious about a lot of things, and usually have something I’m working on or thinking about.

No idea what this account will turn into, but figured I’d start.
