History Rhymes?

It is said that while history doesn’t repeat, it does rhyme. This is a pattern we've observed before in the Internet era. When a novel technology arrives, early infrastructure is controlled (or attempted to be controlled) by a small number of players who prefer to create and extract value inside their walls (so called “walled gardens”). The user's experiences here are typically good enough (or novel enough) that most users don’t ask what they're missing. And then something happens: bottom-up,...

📵 You Being Distracted Has Nothing to Do With Distractions

Soooo, most people think that external triggers like social media, Netflix, or other people are what’s ruining your focus. Turns out it’s not true.

Noticing the short line

Jim Simons made $28 billion running Renaissance Technologies, the greatest quantitative fund ever built. In the early days they also did some discretionary trading. There's one interview I love from the period. In it Simons recalls how him and his partner had a large position in gold, riding a run from $200 to $800. One day he calls his stockbroker. During small talk the broker complains that his wife, a jeweler, had cleaned out all his old gold tie clasps and cufflinks that morning and gone ...

Singapore's Build-to-Order housing model

It is well known that the majority of Singaporeans live in public housing (that is, housing provided by the Housing and Development Board, or HDB). However, what you may not know is that the majority of residents obtain their housing through a model that shares some high-level similarities with the way we deliver new condominiums in Toronto. In 2001, the HDB introduced a program known as Build-to-Order (BTO). The way it works is fairly straightforward: the HDB announces a new project, prospec...

Millions of agents. No map

The next wave of onchain users won't have names. They won't feel conviction, doubt, or FOMO. They won't read a thread and pause to think, check telegram groups, or scroll the trenches. They'll have a wallet, an objective, and a system that never stops executing. x402 is live. Agentic wallets are live. ERC-8004 gives agents onchain identity. The infrastructure is settled. The question is this: in a world where millions of agents act simultaneously, how does any one of them know what's actually...

What your grocery store might say about your home value

After this post, I promise to stop continually plugging the work and writing of Aziz Sunderji — at least for a few days. Over the weekend, I wrote about his recent post on happiness in America. Today, his latest post is about what happens to home prices after a particular grocery store opens. And for this, he looked at 32,000 store openings dating back to the mid-1970s and then compared them to ZIP-code-level home price data. Here's what he found:The average Walmart neighbourhood in this stud...

GTM Engineering and the Honesty Problem

GTM Engineering, as a discipline, makes a foundational assumption it rarely examines: that the problem to be solved is execution. Better data, better enrichment, better automation, better attribution. The implicit promise is that if you wire the machine correctly, the pipeline follows. This is true, conditionally. The condition is that your strategic diagnosis is correct before you wire anything, and that you are building the right kind of system entirely. If the motion you are scaling is the...

Cutting-Edge AI

To take full advantage of all that cutting-edge AI makes possible we will need access to frontier AI. Since these powerful models will likely only be made available to us through an API, this means that we will need to ensure we always have access to these APIs.

A Great Employee Engagement Opportunity For Your NYC Team

One of my favorite days of the year is the NYC Computer Science Opportunity Fair. The idea behind the CS Fair is pretty simple: Put students together with companies, universities, and organizations that care about technology and opportunity and let the conversations happen. The energy in the room is always incredible. The CS Fair has been going on for thirteen years now, and as a result, over 25,000 NYC public school students have been exposed to the opportunities that a career in tech in NYC...

The urban inhale

I saw Paul Graham write this week that "Cities inhale and exhale each generation. People move to cities in their 20s in search of colleagues and mates, move back out to raise their kids, and then when their kids are in their 20s, they return." I don't like it being presented in such a single-minded way, but there is, of course, a lot of truth to this remark, particularly for North American cities. It's basically the "dumbbell" housing demand profile that we in the industry often talk about. W...
