Patrick Collison (CEO, Stripe) — How to Move Fast
The vibes at Anthropic feel similar to my MIT days
My richest mentor told me...
"I win more for one reason. I move fast. By the time most people are done analyzing, I've already made three mistakes and found a better way.”
Remember these 3 people.
1. The people that helped you during tough times.
2. The people who ignored you during tough times.
3. The people that put you in tough times.
Welp, the default monetization layer for the AI-native web just launched. 🤯
I’m increasingly less interested in products designed with traditional point-and-click GUIs and chat text boxes.
Who’s reimagining how we interact with software in dramatic ways?
Germany has officially declared the far-right AfD an extremist threat, unlocking full surveillance powers.

No shortcuts. Only action.
Startups don’t fail because of bad code.
They fail because nobody knew they existed.

You can bring any custom MCP server into claude dot ai now.

Even if it sucks at first. Even if no one cares.
Please bet on yourself and go for it.
First $100: your friends buy it.
First $1,000: strangers buy it.
First $10,000: strangers promote it for you.
Distribution is not a marketing channel.
It's a network effect you build.

I feel so dumb. A staff engineer and I are both working on sister projects that involve playing audio.
We both need to make sure playing one track stops whatever was already playing.
I spent hours adding React context bullshit.
He just did this 🥲
I hired a girl to text customers who abandon their cart & she already recovered orders of worth Rs.70,000 this month.
