Writing is the superpower of humankind. It is our truest form of magic.
Writing allows you to conjure up something of value where nothing previously existed. It costs little for you to write down the lessons of your life and yet those few minutes spent writing can be life-altering for the right reader. As I once saw it put: "there is someone out there with a wound in the exact shape of your words."
Furthermore, writing is the foundation of nearly every technology and innovation because we have to record what we know before we can build upon it. And these innovations are passed down from generation to generation, allowing our children to inherit a richer intellectual fortune than what we were born into. The world is richer because we write and nobody is made poorer in the process.

We're about to enter a period where not reading or writing becomes as ubiquitous as smoking once was. We can hope people will eventually realize this is bad for them, as they did with smoking. But this is far from certain; the cost may not be as obvious.

The evolution of going direct:
Distribution was scarce, so the alpha was in building an audience
Then every company started posting all the time, and attention became scarce
Then attention became exploited with bait and slop, so now credibility is scarce
And there are no shortcuts for credibility

Sweet turnout with @laravel and the Denver community tonight. If you’re here, come say hi to the @namedotcom crew!
Sammy retweeted
I'll be in Denver in three weeks for a rooftop chat with @aarondfrancis and @SA.
We'll be chatting Laravel, Laravel Cloud, and even deploying Node, Python, Go, and Rails. 👀
Also giving away Laravel Cloud credits, domains from @namedotcom, and a Nintendo Switch 2 to celebrate that Ocarina of Time remake trailer. ⚔️

2 hours scrolling on phone per day is 1 month of an entire year gone... so you lose almost 1 full year of your life for every decade spent doing this

I’m so excited for people to hear today’s episode.
I think Agnes Callard’s theory of the uni-context is one of the most original ideas I’ve heard in a long time.
@DKThomp w/ Prof. @AgnesCallard interesting idea of unicontext. Personally, Wittgensteinian language game + Hegelian synthesis can equally explain whatever weirdness one may find when language games collide and coalesce

I deeply resent that AI has forced me to eliminate em dashes from my writing for fear of signaling slop

Imagine a world where we simplify every role in a company down to just two:
1. Builders
2. Sellers

it's crazy that it's not more obvious that this is the correct messaging
it's been obvious to so many people
more and more it feels like being in sf is not useful for building something for a lot of people
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says don't listen to CEOs with a god complex on AI (lol, Dario) $NVDA
On AI destroying jobs: "these kind of comments are not helpful .. somehow they became CEOs, you adopt a god complex and before you know it, you know everything"
"ground ourselves to talking about the facts" AI will "generate hundreds of thousands of jobs .. trillions of dollars [to the U.S. economy]"

Some pretty eye-opening data on the effect of AI coding.
When Cursor added agentic coding in 2024, adopters produced 39% more code merges, with no sign of a decrease in quality (revert rates were the same, bugs dropped) and no sign that the scope of the work shrank. Big impact.

AI is changing the way we buy, manage, and build with domains. Our GM Sammy Ahmed @SA explains how in @Forbes: name.social/agenticAI
