Heard from a founder that 40% of his users opted in for gmail sync during onboarding. Seems crazy that many people will let a 3rd party app read their entire gmail?

Some of you seem confused. I’m not calling Elon stupid. I’m saying he thinks you’re stupid. This is nonsense https://t.co/3yMt8b0vP2

I bet this shit hits so hard if you’re stupid

ignoring your wife at your wedding trying to replace Tier 1 tech support with AI is crazy

I had a conversation with someone this week who got rejected for a promotion She said “What makes me most frustrated is that I can’t get an honest answer for why I didn’t get promoted” I told her the fact she doesn’t know is the reason she wasn’t promoted

There’s almost no upside - and huge downside - in giving brutally honest feedback It’s why people go their whole life with awful qualities. Nobody wants to risk telling them Be someone who takes feedback graciously. Be someone people can tell the truth. It’s a career slingshot

a lot of thoughtful replies include the valid point that creativity does not require mastery and creative acts come from all across the spectrum but the process of developing a craft can shape how you approach the act itself. and that, to me, is worthwhile

I actually think it’s pretty important at this stage of where our country is at to point this stuff out and say “this is stupid and you’re stupid for believing it” Consider it your duty as an American

1. Deeply funny to think you’d be cancelled for tweeting this instead of laughed at 2. Imagine the lack of critical thinking needed to believe the Dems needed to cheat to win California 3. This is likely the amount of diligence Sequoia did before investing in SBF

Most people just do the tasks assigned to them. It’s remarkable how rarely someone asks the discovery questions to learn why they’re doing that work, in that sequence, and toward what outcome. When someone asks you those questions, it’s a clear sign they’re going to succeed

Great career advice from @ByrneHobart IMHO it’s the #1 thing ppl get wrong in their career - they spend too much time learning the “how” w/out seeking to deeply understand the “why” Then one day there’s no one to give them the “how”, and they don’t the skills to figure it out https://t.co/sjHvDEKGX8

Palantir at 30x NTM revs lol Can’t believe we rebubbled https://t.co/lx4BWLZR8H

Imagine going back in time and telling people that Palantir would hit $90B market cap before Stripe went public

@ManifoldMarkets @Polymarket @Kalshi can one of you make a market here? Thank you

“Oh no, please don’t clear those. I just needed to take an engagement bait post for my Twitter account that promotes my self-storage business. No. No. Please leave them. I’m hungry. I actually want to eat them. Yup. Yup. Thanks.”

The boomers are mounting one last push for in-office work Looking pretty bleak for WFH over the next five years But the trend/technology is inevitable. A few years from now it’s worth throwing some big chips down on WFH as the future

It's wild that the generation below me will spend ~10-15 years less with their children than the generation above me did. Even with higher longevity, it would not be their best, most active years. Even wilder that this shift happened over just 20 years.
