in tech we love to talk about moats. we act like tech or raw data is the moat. it’s not.

tech will likely become the ultimate commodity. maybe even the last moat, especially with ai.

the real moats in tech are the things we underestimated: emotional continuity, relationship depth, ambient trust.

memory is just the first. more will follow. ones we haven’t even named yet. turns out, you likely don’t win this era by knowing everything. you win by knowing someone.

i wrote a quick post on why memory might be the deepest moat.

Sam Altman on the biggest mistake talented and hard-working people often make

“You should have a very high bar for doing anything but thinking about what to work on… Of course that doesn’t work all of the time. At some point, you actually have to go execute. But I often see people who I think are really talented, work super hard, and are super product, not spend any time thinking about what they’re going to work on.”

He believes that writing is the best tool for this:

“If I have a very hard problem or I’m a little confused about something, I still have not found anything better to do than sit down and make myself write it out… It is a super powerful thinking tool.”

Just added a @tailwindcss UI block directly to my @lovable app by installing 2 npm packages, creating a blank component called hero.tsx, and then just pasting in the Tailwind code.

Pixel perfect responsive design that cost me pretty much nothing and took me 1 minute to do. Next I'll adapt the copy and update with my brand colors.

I'm going to be teaching this method to the @buildcamp bootcamp cohort next week!

There is no consumer desire to “make apps”

“Vibe coding” is an exponential starting point for people who were already motivated to do things the old way if they had to

Those people want the same control as serious developers, not a “vibe coding app platform”

Man, doing office hours with startups gives you a completely different view of the world from reading the news. The news is all disaster and decline, but more startups are doing more cool new things than ever before. Which is reality? Both are; that's the weird thing.
