There is disproportionate alpha in finding every 20-something year old grinder tucked away in random corners of the world and just arming them with the capital and resources they need to take a meaningful shot on goal

hello

Narrative violation for all the “I don’t want to use your embedded agent” folks on the tl.

some engineers are struggling to adapt to using agents because they are not used to being outcome oriented.

We're partnering with @withdefault to host a GTM End of Summer Rooftop mixer in New York City. Westlight, Brooklyn Thursday, August 27 6:30-9:30 PM EDT

the bottleneck is increasingly knowing what you want

It seems a common experience in the lives of people with high agency is that they, at some point, metaphorically, lean against a wall and discover that there is a hidden door. That some constraint they’ve been told about turns out not to hold, and this allows them to experience something positive. And from this they get into the habit of testing if walls are actually doors, and the more they do so, the more examples of hidden doors they find, and the more inclined they are to look for them. Far from the only thing that sets them apart, but having that experience can be transformative — Henrik Olof Karlsson

- Software is *incredibly* cheap - You have better things to do - Like survive as a business. You are in a knife fight for your life - What are you doing building software? - There’s a reason there is a “software supply chain” Most companies will realize the above, eventually

what Argentina do on a football pitch is spiritual. they stare death in the face and just refuse to die. life lesson in there.

The most underrated hiring signal: the Give-a-Shit Quotient.

Nico came to us with an ask. We spent almost a year being Default’s design function. Now live across product and all the things: default.com/

most startups have good ideas but fail to figure out how to package them into a successful product so they mostly exist to feed ideas to the companies who have figured this out

Q1 earnings season is just about done, and this Q has been great for software. Looking at the YoY growth in quarterly net new ARR added, this was the best quarter (by a long shot) in last ~5 years

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard: "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

Hired our first AI SDR today!

A lot of people are worried software is dead. But throughout history, any time humans have gotten new tools, we've always found new things to create with them that weren't possible before. It just doesn't always look exactly like the things of the past.

Today, I'm incredibly excited to announce @withdefault's Series A led by @8vc and our new product. We spent the last three years building the tools and orchestration layer companies like @owner and @AirbyteHQ have used to build infrastructure across their go-to-market functions. Today, we're launching the first real-time data layer for go-to-market, a powerful new revenue agent, and a suite of tools for revenue teams and their agents. It's Day 1.
