I regret to inform you that nobody cares about your potential. Potential is nothing without execution. When you're young, everyone cares about your potential. You get used to focusing on it. But as you get older, no one cares about your potential. Just your delivery against it.

Caring is the moat, you should feel visceral pain when things are bad or broken and stop at nothing to fix them

I’ll say it again because it matters: in life, the decisions you make after endless overthinking almost never work out better than the ones you make on instinct.

Some people are born American but in remote countries and under different nationalities. They don’t have a passport yet but they’re inevitably drawn usually by entrepreneurship or discovery. America is a mindset and a spiritual experience not a country.
made this website the day steve jobs died. 15 years ago now.

There are people who leave a mark on the world, and then there are people who change it entirely. Steve changed the world and so many lives in the process. He certainly changed my life forever. His spirit lives on in everything he created and everyone he inspired.

Consumer AI will not be won by iMessage "personal assistants" / generic horizontal agents.
It will be won by high-polish products that focus on a specific area of a person's life, build proprietary context on the person, and use that context to create a better marketplace or network than existing pre-AI platforms can.

I was pretty nervous when our team first suggested migrating our infrastructure from AWS to Vercel
It’s turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve made all year
If you want to ship fast (and push to prod 100x / day), Vercel is the move
Experts can turn their knowledge into a digital mind @withdelphi. Their Python backend runs on Vercel. The team is 10 engineers with no dedicated infrastructure role.
• Long-running agents on Vercel Workflows
• Background jobs on Vercel Queues
• 100+ production deploys a day

Empowering customers feels so good, especially when it's with Python :) And Python on Vercel is picking up a lot of steam!
@netspencer thanks for the all the fun time and for the great blog post! 👇

You put your head down and work. You focus on solving one problem after another. Gains accrue exponentially. And then you lift your head up a few years later and look around, and you're amazed at what you've built.
