Writing code is getting cheaper. Reviewing it is getting more expensive.
The new 10x engineer is the one who reviews fastest and most accurately.
@linear's new diff feature is proof we're headed there.

Building a second brain by @fortelabs has been one of the most insightful reads for me in 2026. Inspired me to start tooling with AI for personal knowledge management.
It even got me back into writing on my website again 🫢

Our Thursday sesh went great!
We had people in startups/early hires show up and jam on their projects and work!
Some were locked in, others took calls, there was even a mini-demo and talk about AI
I'm hosting again this Tuesday, are you in?

I wrote my first article on @Medium
It's about the company I started at 19, in college, and why it didn't work out in the end :(
In it I detail mistakes and lessons learned as a first time founder.

I go to a lot of networking events in the city and met probably the worst person ever, someone who just:
- gloats about their achievements
- tries to one up you in every conceivable way
- doesn't offer value, just talks about and compares themselves to you
don't be this guy 🙏

**if you're based in NYC**
I’m putting together coworking groups of strangers. 4–6 people. Cafes, hotel lobbies, anywhere with WiFi.
Weekdays, 11am–5pm. Just a table, internet, and the energy of not working alone (from home).
