Ambition does not mean that you become a psycho and only care about money and work.
Ambition does not need to bleed into where you get your self-worth from.
I am uncomfortably ambitious. I'm trying to build the greatest entrepreneur career of all time. But my professional career and ambition and work is my "fake life."
It's my sport. It's my profession. But it is not my soul. It is not my self-worth. It is not how I see myself.

If you raw dogged a CS degree pre-LLM you can never be a true vibe coder. You’ve seen too much.

"it takes hard work to achieve anything great" is a dangerous lie. great output comes from finding an activity that feels as natural as breathing or walking and great work becomes the very substance of your existence. if it feels like a grind you've found the wrong expression

studied liberal arts style curriculum @bostoncollege , and walked away with knowing how to think rather than what to think
used to think i was behind taking only 2 cs classes with random classes like philosophy and psych my first year vs my friends at other schools who were taking 8
the successful and smartest people i know are applied scientists who know how to adapt frameworks and models from one discipline to another
you can put these people in any situation and they will know how to put what they know and have experience in to the current state when others may see this differentiation as a weakness
.@coatue_thomas describes how a meeting with Steven Spielberg eventually taught him how to pitch companies.
"Steven said, 'Every great story can be pitched in three sentences, no matter what the story was.'"
"In three sentences you got the whole movie. And what I realized is it takes a true understanding of story to be able to crystallize it in three sentences."
"All the great investors that I've met, like Stan Druckenmiller, my brother Philippe, or Dan Loeb, they have an ability to take any kind of story and just drill it down into its essence to what the key pivot points are that are going to make or break that stock at that particular moment."
From his appearance on the show last month.
i sit at my computer for 8-12 hrs/day and always end the day with a stiff and tight back and shoulders
had a recent labrum surgery, and noticed how tight my shoulder gets from a day of work
so i created meridian, a posture manager that helps you be conscious of your posture in your browser background with alerts, insights, and an exportable report

before this boom most talent was either commercial or technical
it’s like the sales rep with limited technical acumen and little attention to detail trying to close as fast as possible vs the conservative engineer who is caught up in every single edge case and pushes back on the bigger picture
the ability to oscillate between these two is the future in roles like sales engineers, solutions engineers, implementations, integrations, deployments, fde
Forward Deployed Engineer is the hottest, and one of the most in-demand, jobs right now.
Every major AI company is hiring including companies like @OpenAI @cognition @AnthropicAI and @Google
If you possess a combination of soft skills (good communication), have an engineering background, and are up to speed on the latest and greatest in agentic coding you're probably able to land one of them.
They pay well and offer a foot in the door to some of the fastest growing companies in the world.
