"We need to fix technical debt" If you say this in executive meetings, you've already lost. I learned this the hard way after 7 years as a Technical PM. My background was actually making these conversations worse. Here's the exact playbook that changed everything:

Friendliness isn't always a sign of trustworthiness. Warmth is easy to fake. The foundations of trust are reliability and integrity. What counts isn't courtesy in the moment—it's keeping commitments over time. The best way to inspire confidence is to consistently walk our talk.

🚨 New a16z thesis: AI x commerce AI will change the way we shop - from where we find products to how we evaluate them, when we buy, and much more. What types of purchases will be disrupted, and where does opportunity exist in the age of AI? More from me + Alex Rampell 👇

I wonder how much money LLM providers have lost in electricity costs from people trying to be polite (eg: saying "please") to their models :-)

When companies share notifications/emails stating "we have updated our terms and conditions" I wish they would also state what they changed. it's not like customers go about keeping the old T&Cs handy and are eager to do the diff.

My bet: in 2025-26, transshipment will be one of the fastest growing professions in many coastal towns of developing countries lower in the tariff list visualcapitalist.com/mapped-u-s-tar…

Oh credit companies - once I've given you instructions to prevent sharing my info (my right in California), why do you think it's worth it for me to give you updated guidance every year? And who gives long a$$ urls in a surface mail -you sure want to make it super hard to opt out

Spent time at a public library today. I found it interesting how almost everyone was glued to a screen and yet surrounded by physical books. Should libraries be re-thought?

tad frustrating that tier 1 support agents often add so much friction in escalating to tier 2, so much so that they say that they have the same info as their supervisor does & will have the same guidance (when frequently that isn't the case). hope AI supt solutions do better here

Hey YouTube is there a way I can stop shorts hogging up my home feed? I may be a minority, but don't like watching the short form clips. No amount of my actual behavior (to avoid short form) is helping you personalize the experience to my behavior. Feels like a low hanging 🍓

Fascinating development - #ChatGPT gets to soak in info quicker and gets paid regardless doing so. Have your cake and eat it too =) Very impressed by the ambition and execution

Wild how quickly mindshare shifts in the AI world w the pace of innovation. Just got a Pixel10 notification to delete a less used app: Manus AI. It was one of the most hyped agentic AI app earlier this year. I'm sure its still good, but don't hear about it in my circles often

Hey Citibank - feels fairly short sighted to start charging $40 yearly for lockbox fees & increasing min deposit requirements to avoid it as $200K. At current safe interest levels, that deposit levels implies $8K in yearly interest. Fairly sure this will backfire for deposits

Fascinating to see a convergence of svc companies becoming product cos and vice versa. Historically VCs tried to steer clear of service (given low multiples) but agentic AI era is forcing a re-think. Horizontal platforms/products cant get adopted w/o svc and ROI on svc is rising
