Everything I publish, in the order I published it: dispatches from Twitter, videos from YouTube and notes from my vault, archived here in full — text, images, video and links — so they outlive the platforms.

I Lead With Relationship Building Themes
Those who lead through Relationship Building are the essential glue that holds a team together.
Without these strengths on a team, in many cases, the group is simply a composite of individuals.
In contrast, leaders with exceptional Relationship Building strength have the unique ability to create groups and organizations that are much greater than the sum of their parts.

@hamptonism Hm, I want to say yes because people in my life exist where that would fit.
Now I wonder if a.) the inverse statement would also be true ("The least chill people you ever meet are very laissez-faire in business") and b.) if "chill" is always the case b/c they're friends (?)
You don’t need a “million-dollar idea” to get rich.
You need a simple idea executed a million times.
@Dwriteway Agreed. I'm not even a Bruce Lee fan but this quote of his keeps me on track. For me that "kick" is relentlessly repeating the scientific method over and over.
is there a book / essay about environments that best support scientific discovery? Not about specifically bell labs, cavendish, xerox parc, los alamos - but why these places were so productive?
@saranormous First, "From Counterculture To Cyberculture" and "What The Dormouse Said" helped me connect some of the hidden dots.
Then I bought an actual 1968 Whole Earth Catalogue on eBay and, not exaggerating, everything make sense. Xerox. Apple. General Magic.
@yacineMTB Reminds me of William Bridges on Transitions. Transitions are different than stories:
1. They start with an ending ("It's actually over")
2. They have a messy middle with lots of ambiguities ("Where is this going?")
3. They end in a new beginning ("This is very different")
Watch how "Startups in 13 Sentences" got written. I wrote it using an editor written by a YC startup called Stypi, and replay was one of its features. The text with yellow background will eventually be deleted. t.co/yEK0pjXjIo
How does everyone manage state in the little personal apps they're vibe coding? If you believe AI software butlers will happen, there's a need for a product here. You want basic sync across desktop/mobile, good security/privacy, and (for extra credit) limited multiplayer.
