Box CEO Aaron Levie's defense of software over vibe-coded, n-of-1 internal tools: "If you're Ford, and you're doing your supply chain on an ERP system, you want that to work the exact same way every single time." "The billions of transactions going through that ERP system, you cannot take... for granted. So the idea that you're going to go vibe-code that is not possible, or at least not likely." "The other point is: your company has a fixed amount of IT resources. And you have to decide what you're going to spend your time on as an organization." "Do you want to spend time on rebuilding something that the market can supply you, that's seen best practices thousands of times? Or do you want to go and build that out with your n-of-1 experience?" "Or do you want to spend your limited, scarce resources on building software, and building experiences, that will make you more money, and that will actually be used by your customers?" "I think on the margin the average enterprise is going to spend their time and energy on the latter." "I'm 100% bullish on vibe-coding, 100% bullish that we're going to have 100x more software. But that still doesn't cross the threshold where I would want to go build our own CRM system."show more

Is SaaS Dead? Will We Vibe Code Everything? Anish Acharya " If you look at SaaS spend today, it's 8%-12% of enterprise spend. Even if you vibe coded your ERP and your payroll with all of the kind of risks and dangers that entails, you're gonna save 8%-12%. You have this innovation bazooka with these models. Why would you point it at Rebuilding Payroll or ERP or CRM? You're going to take it and use it to extend your core advantage as a business, or you're gonna take it to optimize the other 90% that you're not spending on software today." Do you agree with this tobi lutke Alex Bouaziz Alan Chang? What is worth building yourself vs not?

Catherine Austin Fitts: "The problem isn't that [our] currency is fiat...[and] you are not going to fix this situation by going to gold...the central bankers have accumulated all [of it]. [And] now...you're [saying] we're going to go to a gold system? Are you out of your mind?" This clip of Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (The Solari Report | Catherine Austin Fitts), is taken from a discussion with Jerm Warfare posted to the UK Column News (UK Column) YouTube channel on January 26, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "The thing that makes the current system what they would call slavery is debt-basing and secrecy, okay? And the failure of their elected representatives to obey the law. "So you have lawlessness, you have debt basing and you have secrecy, okay? The problem is not that the currency is fiat, because what I will tell you is if you go back through history, if you read Alexander Del Mar, the most effective currencies in the world are fiat currencies that are well governed. "We have a debt-based fiat currency that is not well governed in my opinion. But it could be. Now, remember, there has been almost no support in the general population for managing it responsibly. Everybody was like, no, don't manage it responsibly, get me my check. And if that means you're irresponsible, that's okay, I want my check. "But you are not going to fix this situation by going to gold and silver. You're going to make it much worse. Because while we've done this sort of hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil, for 30 years the central bankers have accumulated all the gold. So now that they have all the gold, you're going to tell me we're going to go to a gold system? Are you out of your mind? "Because now they've got the gold and if you start a gold transaction system now you need gold from them and they've got you over a barrel, right? And what are you going to do to get gold? You're going to have to sell your land, you're going to have to sell your kids, you're going to have to sell real assets to get their gold, right? Why would you do that? "Why would you create— You know, you're dependent on your enemy now you're going to increase your dependency on your enemy now. You're out of your mind, okay? That's not a sound money system. Especially because they want to make it digital. And so they're going to have fiat gold, which is even— I mean, if you think fiat is bad, wait til you see fiat gold when they own all the gold. "So you know, what we want is we want a fiat system and we want it with lawful and no secrecy or minimal secrecy. You're going to have to have some secrecy and a good governance system. Can we get there? Of course we can get there, but we can't get there if you have an entire population that is absolutely committed to corrupt short-term behavior."

Raven Resonance CEO Thomas Suarez explains the 3 beachhead use cases that will allow AR devices to actually scale: "The first is micro interactions. This is something where you're in and out of the display within 5 to 10 seconds. Examples are next navigation direction, phone notifications, changing music, or cooking instructions." "Second is reference material. This is where you can AirPlay your phone screen or pin up relevant information. If you're working on something with your hands, you want something that is hands-free that's going to give you that information. Ideally you can ask an LLM or an AI to help you with that task." "Third is spatial experiences, which is what we've seen from Specs. There's a lot of spatial work that we want to do in the future as well. But I think right now, you want to build toward what is the iPod of AR before you build the iPhone."

Naval Ravikant on why it's 10,000 iterations, not 10,000 hours: "The only true test of intelligence is if you get what you want out of life. And there are two parts to that: one is getting what you want, so you know how to get it. And the second is wanting the right things, knowing what to want in the first place." Naval believes most people are proceeding unconsciously through life. As he puts it: "If you're not careful you can end up in a place in life not only that you don't want to be, but one that you didn't even mean to get to. Usually, people end up there because they are going on autopilot with societal expectations or people's expectations. Out of guilt or mimetic desire, our desires are picked up from other people." On how little time we spend deciding: "We run on these four-year cycles. You go join a startup, you vest your stock over four years. College you go for four years, high school you go for four years. These are very long cycles, the amount of time we spend deciding what to do and who to do it with? Very short. Very, very short." He continues: "We spend three months deciding, one month deciding on a job where we're going to be for 10 years or 5 years. People decide frivolously which city to live in and that's going to decide who their friends are, what their jobs are, their opportunity, their weather, their food supply, their air supply, quality of life. It's such an important decision but people spend so little time thinking it through." His rule: "I would argue that if you're making a four-year decision, spend a year thinking it through. Like really thinking it. 25% of the time." On the secretary theorem: "The optimal time to search is somewhere around a third of the way through. You take the best person you've worked with and try to find someone that good or better. By the time you've got about a third of the way through, you have seen enough that you now have a sense of what the bar is. Then anybody who meets or exceeds that bar is good enough." But here's the catch: "It's actually not time-based; it's not based on one-third of the time, it's iteration-based. The number of candidates, the number of shots you took on goal. So you want to have lots and lots of iterations. You need to bail out quickly, and you need to be decisive quickly." On failed relationships: "If you go back and you look through failed relationships, probably the biggest regret will be staying in the relationship after you knew it was over. The moment you knew it wasn't going to work out, you should have moved on." His reframe of Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hours: "I would say it's actually 10,000 iterations to Mastery. It's not actually 10,000; it's some unknown number, but it's about the number of iterations that drives a learning curve. Iteration is not repetition—repetition is doing the same thing over and over. Iteration is modifying it with a learning and then doing another version of it. That's error correction." On modern society: "Modern society is far more forgiving of failure. Once you find the one business you're meant to plow into and compound returns, it's okay if you had 50 small failed ventures or 50 small failed job interviews. The number of failures doesn't matter." His approach: "You want to be skeptical about specific things—every specific opportunity is probably a fail. But you want to be optimistic in the general. Something in here is going to work out. You want to investigate and explore very, very quickly until you find the match. And then you have to be willing to go all in." On labels: "Labels like pessimist, optimist, cynic, introvert, extrovert, these are very self-limiting. Don't define yourself by trauma or PTSD because then you lock it into your identity and you're just going to loop on it. It's better to stay flexible because reality is always changing and you have to be able to adapt to it." Spend a year deciding. Take 10,000 iterations. Then go all in.

The CEO of Founders Fund-backed Monaco, Sam Blond, says customers want to speak with humans for sales. But for non-customer-facing activities, AI agents are far better. “Whether you're a sales rep or a founder, you will spend your time customer-facing - and we're going to optimize everything in the platform around that experience, including the post follow-up.” “So, you get off the call, we have the call transcript, we've written an email for you to follow up with that person, it's very opinionated and trained on the way that we think about sales and go to market, you can review that email and click send, and then it's time for the next call.” “That’s the sort of optimization that we believe AI is influencing the function of sales right now. It’s - getting more qualified demos, helping you close more customers, and actually emphasizing the relationship-building that happens that is customer-facing.”

Naval Ravikant: "You're going to die. It's all going to zero. What's there to stress about?" "Stress is when your mind has two conflicting desires at once. You want to be liked, but you want to do something selfish. You don't want to go to work, but you want to make money. You have two conflicting desires, and that's stress." Naval explains the difference between stress and anxiety: "Anxiety is this pervasive, unidentifiable stress where you're stressed out all the time and you're not even sure why. The reason is you have so many unresolved problems that have piled up in your life, you can no longer identify what the problems are. There's this mountain of garbage in your mind. A little bit is poking out the top like an iceberg; that's anxiety. But underneath, there's a lot of unresolved things." He shares his personal anxiety resolver: "One big anxiety resolver for me is just ruminating on death. You're going to die. It's all going to zero. You cannot take anything with you. If you can keep that idea in front of you at all times, what's there to stress about?" Naval reframes what "wasted time" really means: "What is wasted time? Everything is wasted time in a sense because nothing matters in the ultimate. But in each moment, it's the only thing that matters. So if you're doing something you want to do and you're fully there for it it's not wasted time. If your mind is running away, wishing you were somewhere else, anticipating the future, regretting the past, that's wasted time. That's time you're not present for." He concludes: "People get worried about dying and no longer being here. But they don't realize that so much of their life is spent not being here in any case."

It is INTELLECTUALLY LAZY to spend time and energy on something that won't get you to where you want to go. If the path you're walking doesn't lead to where you want to go, It doesn't matter how fast you run. YOU ARE LAZY. Use the brain God gave you. TRY HARD and THINK. Come up with what you need to do. Then do it.

Sequoia partner Pat Grady says software is shifting from apps that demand attention to agents that work quietly in the background. This shift will change what moats will look like, and will be especially hard for incumbents to deal with. "It's two very different business paradigms," he says. "In an era of apps, you want a lot of surface area with your customers, you want them to spend a lot of time in your product." "In an era of agents, things can just be running passively in the background. The amount of surface area you have with your customers, the amount of time they might spend in your product might be de minimis. So the nature of the moat that you [will need to build] is different." "I think we'll see a lot of companies in the coming years able to live in the software world and have some of the workflows people are accustomed to. And then separately they can deploy these passive agents that kind of function as coworkers who just come back to you when things are done."

Elon Musk on building a company: “There are periods where it’s just awful” “A lot of times people think creating a company is going to be fun. I would say it’s really not that fun. There are periods of fun, and there are periods where it’s just awful. Particularly if you’re the CEO of the company. You actually have a distillation of all the worst problems in the company. There’s no point in spending your time on things that are going right. So you only spend your time on things that are going wrong that other people can’t take care of… the most pernicious and painful problems.” Elon believes founders need to have a “fairly high pain threshold” and explains that starting a company is like “staring into the abyss and eating glass.” “The staring into the abyss part is that you’re going to be constantly facing the extermination of the company because most startups fail… You’re constantly saying, okay, if I don’t get this right, the company will die. It’s going to be quite stressful. And then the eating glass part is you’ve got to work on the problems that the company needs you to work on, not the problems you want to work on. And so you end up working on problems that you’d really wish you weren’t working on… And that goes on for a long time.” Source: Khan Academy (Apr 2013)

Benedict Evans says AI means more software, not less: "There's going to be a bunch of stuff you could do with software that you just couldn't do before at all. And so there will be more competition." "If you think about the enterprise software fleet today, you've got three buckets... big iron horizontal systems, so SAP and Workday and your CRM... vertical software... and then in the middle, this fuzzy improvised space of Excel and email and the shared file system." "Now you add ChatGPT to that. Do you do that in an LLM? Is there an LLM tool that means you can do that in Salesforce where you couldn't do it before, or you can do it in your vertical app that you couldn't do before?" "All of which is a long way of saying, what does this do to software? And it must be more software. Way more software." Benedict Evans with Erik Torenberg

Elon Musk explains why the CEO must work on the “most pernicious and painful problems” “A lot of times people think creating a company is going to be fun. I would say it’s really not that fun. There are periods of fun, and there are periods where it’s just awful. Particularly if you’re the CEO of the company. You actually have a distillation of all the worst problems in the company. There’s no point in spending your time on things that are going right. So you only spend your time on things that are going wrong that other people can’t take care of… the most pernicious and painful problems.” Elon believes founders need to have a “fairly high pain threshold” and explains that starting a company is like “staring into the abyss and eating glass.” “The staring into the abyss part is that you’re going to be constantly facing the extermination of the company because most startups fail… You’re constantly saying, okay, if I don’t get this right, the company will die. It’s going to be quite stressful. And then the eating glass part is you’ve got to work on the problems that the company needs you to work on, not the problems you want to work on. And so you end up working on problems that you’d really wish you weren’t working on… And that goes on for a long time.” Video source: Khan Academy

Arteta asked if Arsenal will ‘park the bus’ against Manchester City: “We're not going to propose a game like this because we never do that. Sunday's opponent is that good, that forces you to be there. And in City's case, you're going to have to have moments that you're going to have to defend deep in your box for periods of time, and that's the reality.”

Chris Williamson explained to Joe Rogan what he calls "The Lonely Chapter." "The Rocky montage was 3.5 minutes. For me it's been 5 years." "Everybody that has gotten from a place where they don't want to be to one where they are... there's a point where they're so different that they can't resonate with their old set of friends. But they're not yet sufficiently developed that they've created their new set of friends." The temptation: "There's this temptation to go back to the old patterns. The old ways of thinking." On why most people don't change: "How many people do you know that have lost 50 pounds? Or moved to a different country? Or have genuinely changed the way that they see the world? It's pretty rare. It's not that common." He continues: "We are such mimetic creatures. We're so shaped by the people around us that we can't help but be tempted. If you want to go from where you are to where you want to be... you're going to have to do something that makes you more different. More weird. More easy to be mocked." On the difference between movies and real life: "You look at it and you go... the Rocky montage was 3.5 minutes. For me it's been 5 years. Where's the championship ring? I haven't won the fight. Where's Apollo Creed? None of this stuff has happened." He explains: "In the movies, sure there's ups and downs. But the athlete's self-belief never wavers. He makes the decision and it's one straight shot. I don't think that's what the experience of personal growth is like at all." The reality: "In my experience... you're just swimming in uncertainty and fear and a lack of belief that it's even going to happen. You don't know if there's glory on the other side. I don't even know if this is going to be it. And I'm doing Sam Harris's meditation app. I'm journaling in the morning. I'm going to the gym. Does this even work? You're doing all this stuff... scrabbling like a guy in a well trying to find a handhold. And if you don't have a good community of people also doing that... you're on your own." On the rocket ship: "I think about personal growth kind of like a rocket ship taking off. As you take off, you've got a particular velocity. What you want is to find other people moving at the same velocity as you. But the quicker that you move... the fewer people are going to be like you." On having to do it again: "One of the difficult realizations for people who want to change their life... if you do it well, you might have to go through a period where you let go of all of your friends." The worse realization: "If you do it really well... you might have to do that multiple times throughout your life. You find a group of people. Finally. After that period where you were on your own. And then... oh shit, I'm still going. I've outgrown them. I've got to do it again? I just thought I'd found my group. And I've got to do it again." On why few people make big changes: "This lonely chapter thing is a big deal. I think it explains why so few people make big changes. The temptation is always going to be to just go back to what's normal. Go back to what I know." The value exchange: "When you get to the stage where you're faced with some personal growth decision... you're always going to have to make this value exchange: Do I want to move forward on my own? Or do I want to go back with my friends?"

Don’t Scroll—God Is Calling You to Submit and Move Praise the Lord that He has given us such a commission and such a call and we should be humbled by that and we should want to go out for His kingdom and do that. All of you are usable by God. There is not one of you that is not usable if you're only willing to submit. We all fall short. It's a matter of who is willing. Here I am, Lord, send me. That's what Isaiah said. Here I am. Send me. You are all usable. When a lot of you out there go, well, what can I do for God in my life? There's a lot you can do. If you're only willing to be picked up as an instrument in his Hands and implemented the way you were created to move. Many of you are operating outside the realm of what you were created to be. And in this season, that's going to be reconciled. And many of you are going to change course in this season drastically. Because you're in jobs, you're in areas, you're doing things, you were not created to do. You have gifts for it, but you weren’t created to do it. And there's going to be massive shifts in many of your lives and a sudden turn. And the Lord is going to realign. And this is going to be quick when He does it. Realign you into the position, redirect you and put you on that course because time is short and He needs you operating in what you were created to do. He needs that right now. And many of you are going to enter that process in this season. So praise the Lord because you are. You will enter that process and you will be redirected. And you will do what is written about you in the books of heaven, what you were created to do on this earth. Because many of you know and feel uncomfortable and know you're not in your call. You know you are just trying to try to endure, you're trying to survive. And it's because you're not in your call. Surrender to God, allow Him to redirect you into your call and your purpose that you were beautifully created to do. Because it's needed in this season and we cannot dilly dally anymore and go dabbling in things we are not created to do. It's time for us to go to work and it's time for us to be willing to go there.

NAVAL: OBSERVE YOUR OWN MIND AND LIVE BY WHAT YOU TRULY WANT Forget vision boards and dopamine hacks - Naval says real growth starts with watching your own damn mind. No judgment, no pretending - just noticing the loops you're stuck in. He says "letting go" isn’t the holy grail. Sometimes the move is not detachment - it’s grabbing life by the throat and doing what you actually want: “I don't wanna tell anybody how to live their life. I would just say that to the extent that you want to improve your quality of life, the easiest and best way to do that is to observe your own mind and your own thoughts and be a little, not necessarily critical, but be observant of yourself more objectively. You're gonna find a lot of fulfillment outta life by just doing what you want to do and genuinely exploring what it is that you want, rather than doing what other people expect you to do or society expects you to do, or what you might just think should be done by default.” Source: Chris Williamson Naval

.Keith Rabois on the most important lesson he learned from Peter Thiel: You can’t hire anybody over 30. “Peter might not say it exactly the same way today, but basically, what he was trying to say is this: by the time you’re 30, everyone on the planet knows how to assess you pretty accurately. There are enough data points on your resume—back then, it was your resume, and today, it’s your LinkedIn profile—so that everybody can come to a consensus view about your abilities. But if you come to a consensus view about everybody’s abilities, guess what? Google is going to spend a lot of money on that person. Or OpenAI is going to spend a lot of money on that person. Or Meta is going to spend a lot of money on that person. And, when you’re a startup, you can’t outspend large companies that are very profitable or have infinite money like OpenAI. You need to be much more disciplined, much more frugal, and you may not even want to hire these people. The people who are motivated by that much compensation may not even be the right builders. I took that advice with me literally from November 2000, and I’ve been trying to apply it for 24 years now.”

Ex-investment banker Catherine Austin Fitts: Digital ID—once linked to AI and programmable money—enables authorities to monitor, manipulate, and ultimately control every aspect of human behaviour. "If I can track you closely—where you're going and what you're doing—and I can get you on programmable money, which can be turned on and off, then I can start to use AI and surveillance systems and algorithms to basically manage and control your behaviour." "So if I want you living in a 15-minute city, your money won't work beyond the 15 minutes unless you do what I say." "So what we're talking about... is building a system that will allow you to be [surveilled] and tracked and turn your money on and off, or incentivise you or penalise you in a variety of ways with your money, that can be integrated with your behaviour." "When you integrate [AI] with a digital ID and programmable money, then you're talking about complete control." "That is a coup d'état. That is the end of human liberty in the West."
