a couple of years back I did a 100 day project where I took a 100 self-portraits and wrote a 100 stories. It took awhile, but I finally put them together into a single project at 100facesof.me. It was super fun to build it.

🧵 We gave our AI coding agents access to social media and something wild happened... They didn't just post. They thrived. And now they're demanding Lamborghinis. A thread about the weirdest productivity hack we've ever discovered 👇

everyone overstates their value It's why show don't tell matters; It's why you should always do your own research; It's why you shouldn't wait to get the intro; and It's why experiences always matter most.

RobotGPT anyone? I’m thrilled to announce a project that I consider the first steps towards it, a virtual environment to act as a foundational training ground for end-to-end models. Next phase is using it to build and train models. Check it out: luckyrobots.xyz special thanks to @sentdex @chris_j_paxton @hasanunlu9

excited to be working with @RyanHVaughn and the Inside Out Leadership team to support founders. There is nothing better than having a team that can work together to improve each other and the work we do on behalf of founders.
Big news. I’m excited and honored to announce that @micah will be joining the team at Inside Out Leadership! He’s written an essay to mark the occasion, linked in the thread.. Micah has exited four companies, founded or been early at companies that have raised $350m+, and has mentored and advised hundreds of companies over the years. And most importantly, he is an excellent, trained coach, who has helped founders from all over the country achieve levels of success even greater than his own. Micah’s experiences and expertise, alongside Jason Pliml and Santiago (Santi) Jaramillo, will further increase Inside-Out’s capacity to help founders discover who they are as leaders, evolve into better versions of themselves every day, and build high performing, low-drama companies that make them come alive. At Inside-Out, we believe that founders should be coached by coaches who have also been founders. Micah is a prime example of this ethos. And if you’re interested in learning more about Micah, or about Inside-Out’s particular brand of coaching, my DMs are open.

Founders: I once sat in a room and watched an investor board representative from a top-tier VC absolutely excoriate the two founders for essentially hiding what was obviously an extremely toxic relationship between them. She bluntly stated that had she known it was that bad, she never would have invested. The founders split and the company broke up shortly afterward. The bottom line is this: figure out early if your co-founder relationships are toxic and then you’ve got to do something about it. Don’t wait until it’s too late for yourselves and your investors. If the founders don’t respect or appreciate what each other brings to the table, or one founder takes credit for all the wins and passes blame for all the setbacks, there is approximately a 0% chance the company will survive in the long run.

Got a chance to use the @opalelectronics tadpole finally. Blew me away. Everyone asked if I was using my mirrorless Sony camera. Figuring out how I can integrate it in my photo project… Very cool @veeraj!

I know it is hard for founders to focus on reducing customer churn when your stomach is churning from watching the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas.  It is hard to focus on growth while you're watching so much destruction.   It is hard to focus on optimizing lifetime value when you're watching one of the most inhumane attacks in your lifetime.  It is hard to be present when your head and your heart are elsewhere. Take the time to care for yourself and others.  Your morals matter more than metrics.

When I got to college, I knew I wasn’t good enough to swim at UC Davis, so I joined the lacrosse team, and that turned out to be my sport. I played until my senior year when I took 20 units a quarter and no longer had time, so became a coach.

I ended up playing and coaching for more than a decade post college, and I miss coaching quite a lot. Perhaps that is something to look into post this project.
