We are not ready for AI product ramp ups.
Earlier this month, we crossed $100M in ARR, up from $10M at the end of ’24. But that’s just fraction of the value we’re creating: from enterprise teams like @zillow and @HubSpot shipping faster, to solo builders like @yoheinakajima and @GerrardL_ building and running their…
Did @BlueTokaiCoffee just jack up its prices by 25%?! Is there some coffee shortage that I’m unaware of?
some intern at mckinsey is probably slopcoating a report on this but let me give you an insider news: most large corps are not happy with the agentic systems & POCs they’ve done this year. 2025 was supposed to be the year of agents. so far it’s been the year of letdowns.
Everyone talks about Gen AI in corporate earnings but is it actually showing up in companies' financial metrics? EBITDA per employee says “not yet” for India’s IT services majors: the metric has barely moved over the last three fiscal years. You would think that you would be…
New idea for deal flow alpha - @PuriSid running an O1 WhatsApp group for top founders that want to move to the Bay Area and need advice.
Was stuck in traffic near Bavdhan highway for an hour. Obviously no orderly sense on the road - people were trying to fight for every inch of space making the jam much worse. And I immediately contrasted that with US traffic jams where people obey road rules. Then, through the…
Frank Luddy, founder of ServiceNow, has one of corporate America’s greatest comeback stories. At 48 he was CTO of Peregrine Systems; his net worth, about $35 million, was tied to the company’s shares. When Peregrine collapsed overnight, he lost almost everything. One year before…
.@Replit’s ARR since founding The space is … beyond on fire No one is going to code without AI again
Ok fuck it, I'll spill — All my friends still single in their 30s? They're hunting unicorns. Somewhere along the way, a man stopped being just a man. Now he's supposed to be your therapist, best friend, passionate lover, future father of the year, financial provider & probably a…
American women have never been this resigned to staying single. The challenges of finding a romantic partner have been made more complicated by a growing divide in education and career prospects between men and women. 🔗 Read more: on.wsj.com/448WoC4
Crazy to see how much copilot squandered its massive lead.
Last month @cursor_ai overtook GitHub Copilot in business spend, @tryramp data shows. Both continue adding users + spend, more than enough to go around in this market. But goes to show that first movers != market dominance. Not included: Claude Code, small but growing
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (1999) may have its critics, but the “Duel of the Fates” lightsaber battle remains one of the most iconic and unforgettable sequences in the entire saga.
what is a movie you will defend till the end of time?
Wow. The whole closed source vs open source debate of the 1990s was largely due to these two men. Microsoft viewed open source and free software as a threat to its business model. Gates believed the GPL was designed to break this cycle and was concerned that the free software…

This is incredible. Fox News would’ve never allowed this to be published, glad Tucker went independent.

lazy twitter: trying to compile a list of founders of Indian startups and brands who did their undergrad outside the country. have some of the well-known founders already (Harsh Jain, Kunal Bahl, and ofc Aadit Palicha) but who are some of the lesser known ones?
Not a word of thanks to the contractors that were the true backbone of building this company.
