Be careful - not all helping hands lift you up
Lovable is the only reason I’ve considered shifting from Next.js + Supabase to React + Supabase.
The speed is unreal. I can get 70-80% of the MVP up and running, deploy, gather client feedback, and then move to Cursor for enhancements and refinements.
This has completely transformed the way I build MVPs.
the metric to use to gauge the success of your X account is not:
impressions
followers

it's how much fun you're having and how much you're learning
Every dark thing one falls into can be called an initiation. To be initiated into a thing means to go into it. The first step is generally falling into the dark place and usually appears in a dubious or negative form - falling into something, or being possessed by something... Even the worst things you fall into are an effort at initiation, for you are in something which belongs to you, and now you must get out of it.

"Even the darkest night ends with dawn.”
This is how Ukrainian war veteran Yehor Babenko reflected on his year of recovery that tested his limits.
In March 2022, a border officer, who went to protect his country, suffered severe burns to his head, face, and hands during a Russian shelling in Mykolaiv Oblast.
He lost all ten fingers and could breathe only through a tracheostomy tube. Now, he awaits prosthetic fingers, an uncommon case due to the complete loss of all ten.
“The hardest thing is not to stop, even when it feels like the world around you has come to a halt,” Yehor wrote on Instagram.
He emphasized the importance of having support from family, friends, volunteers, and strangers. “Their faith in me helped me believe in myself,” he said.
“Thank you for having the courage to share your story,” wrote Ukrainian photographer Marta Syrko who took these photos.

So the directory playbook actually works 😍
It was my first ever info product. I think I put more time into it than in a typical saas product launch. Afterall, I’m happy to see founders benefit from it. Feels as good as having happy saas users.
Simple heuristic for finding AI startup ideas: Look at things that rich people pay humans to do, and give them to everyone using AI.
Make Something Agents Want
We have to take the LLMs to school.
When you open any textbook, you'll see three major types of information:
1. Background information / exposition. The meat of the textbook that explains concepts. As you attend over it, your brain is training on that data. This is equivalent to pretraining, where the model is reading the internet and accumulating background knowledge.
2. Worked problems with solutions. These are concrete examples of how an expert solves problems. They are demonstrations to be imitated. This is equivalent to supervised finetuning, where the model is finetuning on "ideal responses" for an Assistant, written by humans.
3. Practice problems. These are prompts to the student, usually without the solution, but always with the final answer. There are usually many, many of these at the end of each chapter. They are prompting the student to learn by trial & error - they have to try a bunch of stuff to get to the right answer. This is equivalent to reinforcement learning.
We've subjected LLMs to a ton of 1 and 2, but 3 is a nascent, emerging frontier. When we're creating datasets for LLMs, it's no different from writing textbooks for them, with these 3 types of data. They have to read, and they have to practice.
16. Do not be fearful or negative too often
As an investor, you should be an optimist.
For over 100 years, optimists have carried the day in U.S.
Desmond has got over 100k+ downloads & 50M+ views for his app - he just shared his exact playbook (1/2):
This may be the most inspiring sentence I've ever read. Which is interesting because it's not phrased in the way things meant to be inspiring usually are.
Paul Graham said it best: “Finish what you start, because the best work happens in the final stage.”
