Learn to ship. Shipping is a skill distinct from coding. Shipping is designing, coding, QAing, story-telling, teaching, marketing, selling, pivoting, iterating…
It used to be that coding dominated in importance because of coding ability scarcity. AI will push you to go further.
I think one underestimated thing when we look back on it was how useful it is to have your own personal brain and company brain in 2026 at the dawn of usable AGI
AGI gives you the intelligence
You still have to collect your personal context to get the real unlock
i walk the land every day. it’s tiring and hurts my feet but I’ve walked more miles and found more territory than I could just.
just start walking, you’ll find company along the way
In AI most people are still trying to use old maps on a new territory.
Throw the maps away. It's time to draw new ones. The only way you can do it is walking the land.
The events of the last 6 months in technology are arguable amongst the most important in human history
The tools now increasingly exist for recursive self improvement of models & agents
We are likely in very early lift off & exponential
Largely unnoticed outside of tech
@Starlink on flights is the way to go! no 5 different signup pages and streamlining just works. this is just an awesome baseline
it’s hard to go back to the old way. now I know why
sierra took a HUGE early bet on outcomes-based pricing. when the hammer of reality comes down on tokenmaxxing, the companies best aligned with their customers will benefit
each of these businesses unlocked something unique
foursquare -> delightful place discovery
yelp -> authenticity via peer review
this is still needed today but with AI it looks different
outcome > goal is where it is going
Founders must stop trying to building 2010-era businesses with 2026-era technology.
Don't try to rebuild Foursquare or Yelp.
Don't try to recreate Basecamp by 37 Signals with $10/mo SaaS pricing.
Don't underprice! If it works it's worth a lot more.
Don't be tempted to become "Tech enabled PE" with revenue tricks.
The rules of tech changed with AI. Play the new game.
@kripalamanna currently in Bangalore and seeing this weirdly also at Glenn’s Bakehouse at Indranagar. I asked why they wanted my phone number and if I could place an order at the counter and they said no 😅 eventually managed to have someone take my order
I’ve been building solspot 🍺😎🇸🇪 wired to take user feedback and self-improve with limited intervention
the coolest part about this so far I could get by simply using OSM and Claude Vision
Imagine every pixel on your screen, streamed live directly from a model. No HTML, no layout engine, no code. Just exactly what you want to see.
@eddiejiao_obj, @drewocarr and I built a prototype to see how this could actually work, and set out to make it real. We're calling it Flipbook. (1/5)
this reminds me a lot of how to build impossible things by mark ellison.
building anything this way makes everything better. make things earn for its place. it and you will be better for it

@ycombinator
@itsolelehmann faster to find detailed info as a graph instead of chatting but you spend more time to look for it. opposite is true with directly Claude code only - less time looking because of chat but slower to find clean/clear signals done by knowledge graphs
