I think I first started talking about the "Frontend Ceiling" 4 years ago and its still not well understood — there are great exceptions, but for the vast majority of bootcampers entering the software industry today as Frontend/JS devs and indirectly React/Serverless devs, you

1/ Wrapping up 2023 with a quick thread: my favorite visualizations from the past year. Some are mine, some aren't, but I hope you'll enjoy a stroll through these. First, a reminder for managers:

3. Common AI agent architectures: - RAG - RAG + Promp Chaining - Tool Use - Decisioning Agent

today, on this full moon, we're launching fullmoon on the App Store 🌕 it's the simplest way to use local LLMs like Llama after a few months of testing, we've adapted it natively to all platforms including iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision it's completely free and fully open

"Burn the idea of MVP. Minimal Viable Product, that is the death zone." - mark pincus the Founder and Executive Chairman of Zynga, offered this advice to founders while visiting the Speedrun stage last week.

This is my last week at Apple. It was fun trying to ship some cool LM-powered products, but research is calling my name right now. Incredibly grateful for my manager Maitrik Patel, he really is the best. And he's hiring! Go work with him, but only if you're good.

Everyone is talking about MCP. I summarized all the MCP announcements/launches from Composio, Firecrawl, Cursor, Jira, Langchain, Firebase, and more Send to your engineering team (save for later)

What is MCP & why it's a big (huge) deal: (model context protocol) TLDR: MCP makes it possible for AI Tools to use external tools. E.g. Chatbot/IDE/AI-Agent can use Gmail/GoogleDrive/WeatherApp etc. Detailed explanation for both, tech & non tech people (+demos): 1) AI Tools

Since everyone is curious about the difference between MCP and a vanilla API, I put this table together with the help of Grok and lots of probing. What do we think?

After spending a long time in a big company, it is easy to feel certain that success comes from process & structure when in reality it comes from true ownership, insight, and creativity. An inability to understand & accept this is the root cause of several mid-career failures.

The reality of building web apps in 2025 is that it's a bit like assembling IKEA furniture. There's no "full-stack" product with batteries included, you have to piece together and configure many individual services: - frontend / backend (e.g. React, Next.js, APIs) - hosting

I’m hiring software engineers to build the Tesla App for Solar, Powerwall, and Charging—if you’re excellent at React Native, TypeScript, and Go and want to be a part of telling the story of renewable energy, you’ll be a great fit in my team. Let’s talk: tesla.com/careers/search…

All of the desirable people - the ones that you actually want to work with, spend time with, or date - won’t apply for the job. They have to be identified from afar and hunted down.

A lot of younger people who’re new to the industry ask me how to do “networking”. How do you go from knowing no one in San Francisco to having a network of people that you can do business with, learn from, hire, etc. The trick is I never set out to “network”. Maybe due to
