My guest today is Kunal Shah. We discuss the core human motivations, how to spot opportunities hiding in plain sight, the many cultural differences between India and the West, what he learned growing up in the family business and how he applies it today, observing reality, why he dropped out of an MBA program, strategies for decision-making, and so much more.

I hate the term MVP. Over the past decade, it’s been overused and misunderstood to the point where something labeled as an MVP is automatically assumed to be...

An update on Passport, why independence and interoperability matter to creators, and where Web3 technologies could actually be useful.

For many enterprise startups, the predominant initial go to market (GTM) strategy has been “growth + sales”, which relies on a bottom up, product-led approach to acquiring and retaining users and customers. But after successfully executing on this …

I've been using GitHub Copilot for about a year now. I was initially skeptical. Are the suggestions actually good? Don't I still need to read the code for correctness? Isn't it distracting? Now, I couldn't imagine coding without it. For $10/mo, it's a great deal. I've never been more productive. But like any tool, you need to know how to use it. Here are five tips on how to use GitHub Copilot effectively. The more consistent you code is, the better Copilot's suggestions will be. Copilot is

I've built a lot of developer tools (minikube and skaffold to name a few). But I'm often asked – what does my personal development stack look like? Hardware: The M1 Macbooks are fast. At the same time, I miss my Arch Linux and i3 tiling window manager, my day-to-day consists of a lot more than just coding (emails, spreadsheets, docs, calls). I don't want to spend time maintaining my snowflake Linux distro (although I keep around an Arch server in my closet with a few GPUs for training the occas

When money is cheap, distribution is expensive. In the last two years, we saw companies look for distribution advantages: * Newsletter writers and podcast hosts raised venture funds (Packy McCormick's Not Boring Capital, Mario Gabriele's Generalist Capital, Harry Stebbings' 20VC, Sahil Bloom's SRB Fund) * Companies proprietary software advantages for distribution by open-sourcing more of their core product * Consumer social apps like TikTok and Instagram paid their creators just for posting

Rising valuations. Falling exits. Rich founders. Poor VCs. Like opposing atomic nuclei that should not normally combine, but when they do, we have startup thermonuclear fusion

Basecamp is banning politics at work, which is very much in-line with Basecamp’s bigger critique of Silicon Valley. Then, Stripe stops acting like a startup.

Microsoft’s Build was good for what it had — and what it didn’t, even accidentally. Microsoft’s future is about meeting real business needs, not wowing customers. Plus, an intervi…

Every so often, I come across a promising new project only to find out it's written in an esoteric language or framework. You only get a few innovation tokens when you're building something new. Sometimes, an off-the-beaten-path is warranted – e.g., WhatsApp using Erlang to scale chat. Or it becomes a selection mechanism for a particular type of developer (e.g., Jane Street and functional programming)1. However, for the most part, it will make hiring more difficult and expensive. For open sour

I’ve been using the iOS 16 public beta for the past couple of weeks. It’s nice in that it’s pretty stable. But it’s also honestly not that…

An asset you don’t deserve can quickly become a liability.

In 1990, the New York City Transporation Commissioner closed 42nd Street for Earth Day. Everyone expected that closing a major cross-town artery would cause historic traffic jams. Instead, traffic flow improved. One of Seoul's busiest freeways, the Cheonggyecheon Freeway, was built over the Cheonggyecheon River and ran through the heart of the city. It carried 168,000 cars per day. In an effort to restore the river, the city demolished it and built a 5-mile public park. Travel times improved, a

Using ACT to move toward what matters.

This is the platonic ideal. We're not there yet, but the all signs point to this rather than specialization. Applications and their infrastructure (functions, queues, permissions, runtime) have always been closely intertwined. Fewer handoffs mean quicker deployments and less context loss. So – Why can't developers deploy their own code (yet)? 1. Provisioned infrastructure economy1 Competing product teams must be allocated resources at companies with provisioned infrastructure.
