A little over a year ago, a friend joined a hyper-growth tech company in a pretty important role. What stood out immediately to me was that he had no experience in the function he was hired for. But he’s insanely resourceful, has an out-of-this world senses of urgency, works…
I just read sort of a gross response that I’m not going to call out directly. It was a reminder of how mind-blowing it is that there are actually people in the world who can’t fathom that it’s possible that my wife chooses to work. They’re not capable of stopping and saying to…
My wife's a corporate attorney, and she’s taking next week off. Yesterday she turned on her out-of-office reply, and won't have to think about work at all until July 28th. I can’t even begin to imagine what that feels like.
Pizza Hut buffet was how we spent many Friday lunches during high school. Miss this vibe.
There's a Pizza Hut in North Carolina that is untouched by time; red cups for beverages, light fixtures, jukebox, table cloths, and even has the salad bar oh my god
People spend thousands of dollars to get to Disneyland, and then wait 45 mins in line instead of paying $10 to skip it.
Years ago I interviewed an exceptional candidate. He’d just finished his masters, had all the right answers, and we were excited to bring him on board. His second week on the job, I walked into his office and he was watching a movie on his monitor at 10am, feet on his desk.

Having kids with the right woman is much more important than having them at the right age.
I'm sure this message is very important, but I have no idea what he just said 😆 Side note: Aaron is hands down one of the nicest people in the tech world, and one of the best follows on this platform.
There is so much opportunity right now in making AI Agents real for enterprises. The models pack insane capabilities, but to get them into the middle of an enterprise workflow requires significant scaffolding, domain understanding, and context engineering. This is the play.
One of the perks of living on the east coast: Access to Europe. Leaving for Paris tonight with the fam, and back next Sunday. Never would’ve happened if we were still living in California.
What’s the most obsessed-about investment in the history of the world?
One big downside of social media: It’s the biggest gift to scammers of all time.
Was playing around with the new agent feature and used this prompt just to see what would happen. I promise I did not write the part that’s circled, it gave that command on my behalf 😳
Forgot we had the video of us opening the email where we first found out if our baby would be a boy or a girl. Our son’s now 5. We showed him the video earlier today, and he saw how incredibly happy we were. It was the first time in his life he cried tears of joy.
