He said it, not me. It’s usually unnecessary and simply lazy.

No education gives you intellect like experience gives you understanding.

May we honor those we’ve lost by holding each other tighter, by choosing life, and by carrying forward the light they helped preserve. Chag Sameach, sending everyone lots of love during these immensely difficult times. 🕎

When the busywork is automated, real depth is what compounds. If you understand the core constraint of a problem, you can orchestrate everything around it. I think of this as filtering out the average. The age of experts is returning, long live the common generalist.

On El Camino right now, watching teachers take students out of class to march against ICE during a normal school day in Palo Alto. It makes me sad and deeply disappointed. Kids learn from what we model. If I were a parent, I’d remove my child immediately.

A neuroscientist reminded me today if you focus on the wins, especially when things feel heavy, you actually rewire your brain to keep winning. So if you’re going through it right now, find one win. Even a small one. Science says it compounds.

AI didn’t replace engineers. It exposed those who think in first principles vs everyone else who just rotates between Cursor, Codex, and Claude Code hoping something magically works (and doesn’t break in prod).

I keep thinking about how newsfeed and ad algorithms haven’t really evolved for the age of AI. We’ve spent real money testing content on LinkedIn and X, and what consistently gets distribution still feels tied to surface-level engagement loops. AI can write the post. AI can

🚨 Stanford just analyzed the privacy policies of the six biggest AI companies in America. Amazon. Anthropic. Google. Meta. Microsoft. OpenAI. All six use your conversations to train their models. By default. Without meaningfully asking. Here's what the paper actually found.

As in most things in life, the position you take dictates the outcome. China chose to be the world’s producer. Europe became the consumer bloc. Japan became the lender. America became the policeman of the world, enforcing order through arbitration. Production creates supply

This is the Israeli spirit below ground, in the bomb shelter, and the rest of the world wonders how we survive. Above ground, we are unstoppable. 🇮🇱

Nothing brings me more happiness that seeing a founder who responds to support requests at 9pm and is living & breathing their product. Those are the real ones.

The bar is rising. Three well funded startups this week shipped dressed up slop with big marketing campaigns, but no one was fooled. We’re evolving, and developing standards for things actually working. This is good.

Cognitive flexibility and mental agility remain the defining superpowers of life.

Growing up in SF, wealth was always ideas, building, and real outcomes. I've realized that kind of rewires you for life. So when I see flashiness framed as success, it just feels like a substitute for substance.

So proud of the team! If you’re looking to be a part of a brilliant and dedicated group of individuals truly making a meaningful impact in the next generation of AI and data centers, apply below! 👇

If you’re deep in AI right now, it feels like everything is happening all at once: model updates, products being shipped, constant iteration. It creates this pressure that if you’re not moving fast, you’re falling behind. But every time I step outside of that bubble, I’m reminded

I was listening to a newer episode of The Diary Of A CEO with Ivanka Trump and one brilliant point she made was about how we all get asked “how do you balance it all?” but that’s kind of the wrong question. Balance isn’t a steady state. It’s a moving target. The better question
