What would the second degree effects be? Are token prices about to skyrocket? Do the IPOs not happen? Does the bubble burst and everything dependent on this continuous growth stop? Or does everyone who got laid off…

Leaning into automation for tasks in my own life. Repurposed an old 2017 intent MacBook to be an always on computer and for the moment it’s just fine. Most of what I’ve done so far is deterministic and has no need for…

Trying to diversify what I listen to and interested to hear what everyone else is enjoying this year!

Feels to me like local models are an under-covered aspect of this whole AI boom. If everything improves over time, at some point a good chunk of tasks won’t need to be done in data centers or be subject to the whims of…

Clearly AI companies are gradually shifting to focus on that. In the 90s was there any effort to do that BEFORE the bubble burst? I was a kid and remember outlines like the Priceline for groceries and insane IPOs, but…

I understand that breakthroughs such as multiplexing increasing efficiency caused a huge glut in the amount of fiber laid. But what prevented demand from increasing to use it? I ask, wondering what will be the thing…

It's reminiscent of many other things where people tell you to believe them, but can't let you see the evidence. And so happens they are starting the process of going public at a time when the burn rate of these…

Seems like the broader industry is waking up to what many folks have known for a while — models themselves are not a protective moat. They decay quickly and using them for basic tasks like structuring unstructured data…

Modern tech has a vast open source ecosystem and a huge investor backed one, but very little if any significant activity in the form of cooperatives, where individuals or small companies pool their money and other…

I don’t recall a MySpace vs Fecebook debate based on ethics. Sort of had one with Twitter. Maybe a bit with DuckDuckGo.

For those who remember dot com, any insight into how product pricing changes after a bubble starts to burst? While part of me sees a world where companies rapidly raise prices to at least be break even, another side…

It’s something I’ve long struggled with in tech, but I wonder if there are things I’m looking past. There’s the obvious answer “paying the bills for my loved ones,” but I’ve always been searching for something deeper.

Something that's succeeding because of it used technology in a really impressive way. Not something that's successful because it took a already proven out idea and rebranded it or had a really good GTM-strategy. (and if…

Privacy aside.

I've realized that I'm starting to fall behind the very rapidly changing landscape. Does anyone have any resources they recommend? Particularly interested in things that are video + exercises. And one thing in…

I'm exploring moving away from work with VC-backed B2B SaaS startups and towards working with B2C businesses on Main Street. For anyone else who's felt inclined to make a similar pivot - any advice? Particularly when it…

In meetings im often asked to answer a question or solve a problem on the fly. I hate to do that because it doesn’t give me time to fully think through what needs to be done, the best way to do it, and any implications.…

The idea is generalists know a lot about everything and when to pass it off to a subject matter expert. In 2025, with everything in tech changing by the minute, I’m realizing I need to set boundaries about how deep I go…

When you look at the 20th century and first quarter of the 21st improvements have been anything but exponential. It’s been gradual with occasional major leaps and paradigm shifts. I’m actually shocked how much more…

For years tech has been the shortcut to a good salary without an advanced degree and the years of post-undergrad training they required before entering the field. On the one hand, tech is increasingly becoming hard to…

Was thinking of doing a deep dive into Retool, but unsure if it's the best option. I'm already familiar with Hubspot and Salesforce and how to do things using both clicks and code. Would like to learn something that is…
