I failed at 3 startups before SimpleDirect worked. A ride-sharing app that got destroyed at pitch competitions. A travel planning app that went nowhere. A cashback app that hit #2 on Product Hunt but still died. Each failure taught me more than years of reading startup books ever could. The biggest barrier to founder success isn't lack of knowledge…

I was reading Brandon Sanderson's latest novel, Wind and Truth, when I came across a sentence that stopped me cold: "A stronger current makes for stronger fish." That's it. That's what entrepreneurship is. We're constantly encountering currents that either facilitate what we want to accomplish—the businesses we want to build, the lives we want to c…

I fell hard for "vibe coding" - using AI to build apps based on vibes rather than understanding. Spent 6 months with Cursor and Claude, paying $200/month. Built 3 projects. One succeeded, two failed spectacularly. - Project 1 (Success): Rebuilt our dormant mobile app in 2 days using Figma designs and Claude. Looked perfect, worked great, solved a r…

I spent 2 years and hundreds of thousands building a sophisticated quant trading firm. Hired 5 engineers. Built complex algorithms. Backtested everything. Result? Couldn't beat the S&P 500. Then I discovered Bogleheads on Reddit. Bought 8-10 simple index funds and household names in May. It's August now. I'm up 5.5% in 3 months doing absolutely not…

Send us a text Battlefield 6 Beta Is Live… and Already on Fire 🔥 (Not in a Good Way) So Battlefield 6 finally dropped its beta — and guess what? Cheaters showed up faster than the loading screen.

Weekend rambling thoughts - no script, just real talk. Hit 25,000 Twitter followers this week. Feels surreal because I barely put any time into it. I don't even have Twitter on my phone.

I just said no to $3-5 million. Partnership came in last week. Two years of work for life-changing money. My spreadsheet said yes. My gut said absolutely not. For the first time ever, I listened to my gut. Here's the thing everyone gets wrong: If it consistently feels like work, you're probably doing it wrong. Y Combinator says "do things that don'…
