i’m working on a neurotech product that will change what it means to be human. not in 20 years. not in 10 years. not in 5 years. now. if you’re highly technical, highly intense, and looking for a way to do something great with your life, let’s talk.

HBO needs to create a new version of the silicon valley tv show. since the original show was created we've seen the rise of remote/nomadic work + crypto + AI + anti-woke tech shift + startups becoming more mainstream the culture is totally different now

undergraduate colleges are machines that produce high-earning, high-status alumni. this is their evolutionary mechanism of survival. steadily increasing the GPA of your students maximizes their outcomes. these students will always exceed the outdated expectations of employers.

don't hire until you’ve spent a few months doing the job yourself. hiring poorly is not worth it. and hiring effectively is a lot harder than you think.
