Just had lunch with a founder worth $20 billion. In one of his restaurants. A straw wrapper fell on the floor. He counted how many customers walked past it before one of his employees picked it up.

5 interesting facts about Sundials: 1. Sundials have been invented independently in every major culture. 2. Before the invention of the clock, the sundial was the only way to measure time. 3. A sundial made for Cairo won’t tell the right time in London, because the angle of the…

There are some parts of your character that another person can see very clearly, but you cannot see. Even if you accept this premise intellectually and think "okay so i'll just ask everyone for feedback," it's still hard for you to catch your blind spots for 3 reasons: 1. Other…

I don’t think he’s ever told the story, but it’s worth telling. When we were selling @Behance to Adobe many years ago, @scottbelsky made a spreadsheet of every employee (32 of us at the time) and personally negotiated each persons title, salary and incentive structure, and made…

Now you can pay ₹1499 and attend a fake wedding. No dulha, no rishtedaar, you come, take the vibe and go home. This covers food, dhol, dancing, and Instagram worthy pictures. Wild concept! 🤣

When I was 14 and starting high school, my dad told me that no matter what stupid shit I did, if I ever called him at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, in a bind, and needed him to come pick me up, that i shouldn't hesitate to call—because, he promised me, we wouldn't talk about it…

@sknthla Hot take: Consider that you may be slightly less underinvested in books than most people are. Trivial version: estimate NPV of your career as of today. 1% impact on productivity by reading probably justifies $20k on books without batting an eye.

It’s crazy how much AI Agents are going to change the core premise of software. Since the beginning of the industry, software has been something that enables people to do their work. We’ve spent decades building features that make people incrementally more productive when using…

Underrated life skill: The ability to reset fast. You're allowed to start over at 10am, 2pm, or 6:30 at night. Zero reason to let one bad hour carry into the rest of your day. You can’t control what hits you. But you can control how long you sit in it.
