And just like that, a meme is born

A lot of people are DM’ing about how to replicate Cursor’s hiring motion. These are the conditions required: - bottoms-up roadmap - genuine trust in your ICs - team beyond founders has good taste in people - allocate 30% of company time to recruiting Basically you need to have the discipline to actually “get out of the way” of the great people you work your butt off to hire.

When I see laptops full of stickers nowadays it looks kinda cringe to me It was normal though 10 years ago I wonder what exactly changed in culture to make it cringe?

It seems that almost every tech founder in the world wants also to be a media figure. The same isn’t true in reverse.

The reason “vibe coding” continues to grow and be successful is that the alternative to vibe coding is not “elite engineering”. It’s: the project wasn’t born, the idea didn’t get communicated, the app didn’t ship. Elite engineering is very scarce and will continue to be in extremely high demand. (We’re hiring elite engineers!) The gap between what top engineers and agents can do still exists. Not just that.. when those people use AI, they also gain superpowers.

Four years ago, I couldn't hold a job longer than a year. Today, I've been at @every for 14 months—and I'm doing the best work of my career. I wrote about how AI made that possible, and what we miss when we measure technology by output alone.

Overcommunicate at your startup. Your team cannot read your mind.

Was listening to a famous tech podcast Not gonna name names but someone big here I’m 45 minutes deep Interviewer asks “What are you reading?” Interviewee says “I don’t have time to read books” Well I just wasted 45 minutes of my life Immediately turn off podcast and lose respect for interviewee I don’t have time to take advice from people who don’t have time to read books These are the same type of people who will talk about “the importance of storytelling in Silicon Valley” and they haven’t read fiction in a decade Fake smart idiots.
