Cheers to every VC who basically laughed us out of the room for pitching our AI platform+services business three years ago. Especially the ones with 'contrarian' in their bio.

My oldest is hearing back from colleges, and well-meaning family & friends have been checking in to find out where he's being accepted. I'm shifting into full-on annoying dad mode, trying to make my kids understand that where they get in is so much less important than whether…

Code will be disposable. Context will be more valuable than ever. When vanilla-flavored software becomes trivial to create, the consulting mindset will become more important than the SaaS mindset.

Most execs had their first AI experience using ChatGPT. So they are spending most of their R&D budget building 500 versions of a chatbot. There are an infinite number of things they could be building that would provide more ROI with significantly less risk.

You're walking around in the sunshine more. And you're happy, because you're on vacation in Italy. That's the 'magic'.

Always surprises me to realize that Indian Americans are among the most liberal in the US, despite being the highest earners.

Found myself agreeing violently with this post, then clicked over to @mityasmusin's bio and realized we run the exact same kind of business (software consulting).

Rapid growth can kill a small business much more quickly than contraction. Reminding myself of #9 daily right now.

All of the critiques essentially come down to not trusting people: to make their own decisions, to understand that some of the information won’t be accurate (and that they need to verify), and to think through nuanced choices on their own. Same arguments that support censorship.
