"Great love is never justified. It’s like the little tree that springs up in some inexplicable fashion on the side of a cliff: where are its roots, what does it feed on, what miracle produces those green leaves?" Polish poet and Nobel laureate Wisława Szymborska on love:

when you’re crafting content, you have to think in terms of half life, how long the content stays alive relative to the platform. x is like glucose: fast spike, fast crash. viral or dead in 24h. substack is more like protein: slower digesting, builds over time. dense, reusable.

You won’t lose your best people because they stop caring. You’ll lose them because they cared too much, for too long, in a system that rewarded the wrong ones and wasted their time.

There was this engineer on my team a while back who was: a good dev, but not the best dev. Got everything done. But had zero ego, a very nice personality, and got along with *everyone* on the team very well. When he joined, the team became... better. Nicer. More balanced.

Nayak Satya The fastest way to see a founder’s real priorities? Observe what gets celebrated, tolerated, or quietly dismissed. The team mirrors what they reward. If urgency gets applause and reflection gets sidelined, don’t be surprised when no one thinks long-term. If polish gets attention

Wtf is this. Why should anyone sign up for the mission if the CEO doesn’t? They’re going to have to drag my dead body out of Amplitude

complexity first, simplicity second people say “keep it simple,” but most approach it backwards. they start from simple, then add on complexity without seeing the whole. that’s how you end up with frankenstein products: clean-looking components awkwardly stitched together, held

Reminder: One day, your whole life will be summed up in a few sentences. Not the titles you held. Not the money you made. But how you showed up. How you treated people. What you gave when no one was watching. The way you loved. The way you served. What will your sentences say?

CREDENTIALS DON’T MATTER Over the last few months, I’ve seen several A+ execs and operators flounder and fail at AI startups, while young “inexperienced” builders have crushed execution and performed superbly. It’s the biggest discontinuity in talent evaluation I’ve seen in my

The most common mistake young founders make is forcing everyone to work 24/7 or 996. Here's 5 reasons why: – Very talented people, paradoxically, will work hard mimetically when they see people around them doing it, without the burden of compulsion. They want a carrot, not a

solo founder truth: the stress of everything falling on you is infinitely less than the stress of getting a group of people to care as much as you do

You cannot force highly skilled people to work a set number of hours. They will just pretend to which is easy to do. They’ll read Reddit, make easy tasks stretch in time, have a longer lunch, longer meetings, etc. The only way I’ve seen or experienced seeing people work a lot of

for hiring anyone who remotely touches strategy you should prioritize people who actually get culture, society, & human nuance. strategy at its core is applied anthropology. if the person can’t decode vibes, trace behavior, & see how a tiktok dance, a local election, & a subway

One feature I’d love to see in Google Translate is context-aware pronouns and verb conjugation that adjust based on current context and past usage. I mostly use it to express myself more clearly in Vietnamese or Italian to my parents and in-laws. In Vietnamese, pronouns depend
