ONE OF THE MINDS BEHIND JAVA GAVE A LECTURE WHERE HE BANNED HIMSELF FROM USING ANY BIG WORD UNTIL HE DEFINED IT FIRST AND IN DOING SO QUIETLY EXPLAINED HOW EVERY GREAT SYSTEM GETS BUILT A talk from Guy Steele -- co-author of the Java spec and a designer... of Scheme -- where the form of the talk is the lesson. -> The moment you catch what he's doing, it rewires you. He starts with only the smallest words, then builds every larger idea live, in front of you, from the pieces he already gave you. The talk grows its own vocabulary as it goes. That's the whole secret of language and system design he's smuggling in: you don't ship something huge and finished. You ship a small core and the means to grow it. Miss that and you spend your career fighting your own tools. Memorizing a language was never the skill -> understanding how a good one is meant to grow is. And as AI starts generating the primitives you build on, knowing what makes a foundation extensible instead of brittle is the entire game. Twenty-five years on, language designers still point to this talk as the cleanest demonstration of the idea ever performed. Bookmark it & Watch how he builds the whole thing from nothing ↓show more

Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code at Anthropic, just explained how he runs thousands of agents from his phone while he sleeps in this talk he breaks down exactly how he manages thousands of agents from his phone: - the 14% you lose to CLAUDE.md before typing a word - the architecture behind running a few thousand agents overnight - why the system matters more than the tool - the knowledge structure that makes everything findable, connected, and useful if you've been using Claude for months and every conversation still starts from scratch with zero memory and zero context, you don't have a system. you have a chat history instead of another show tonight, watch this make sure to bookmark it before it gets lost in your feed the guide is in the article below

Andrej Karpathy spent 2h showing how he actually uses AI day to day he's a co-founder of OpenAI and led AI at Tesla, so when he shows how he works, it’s worth watching and the whole session is just him telling the machine what he wants in simple terms, like he's briefing a coworker watch what's actually happening the entire time: > he describes the task in normal words > it goes off and does the work > he glances at the result and nudges it with one more sentence that's the whole skill, and you've had it since you learned to talk the only gap between that and a worker that runs on its own is handing that sentence a schedule and the tools to act check his work, then build the version that keeps working when you stop

IN 1999 MIT FILMED A MATH LECTURE THAT QUIETLY BECAME THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY AI MODEL YOU'VE EVER USED AND ALMOST NO ONE WAS TAUGHT TO SEE IT THAT WAY 39 minutes from Gilbert Strang, who taught this at MIT for over 60 years -- the linear algebra course an entire generation of engineers and data scientists grew up on. -> The shift it creates: you stop seeing matrices as boring grids of numbers and start seeing them as the language of space, data, and motion itself. School drilled you to crunch matrices by hand and never told you why. Strang shows you what they actually mean. Every neural net, every embedding, every model you prompt is linear algebra running underneath. The math you skipped is the engine of the thing you use all day. Memorizing the steps was never the skill -> seeing what the numbers do is. This is where it finally clicks. Most people fear linear algebra and move on. The ones who watched this see straight into how AI actually works. Bookmark & Watch it today, this one's a legend ↓

A DEVELOPER TAUGHT GIT WITH A BOX OF CHILDREN'S TOYS AND ENGINEERS WITH TEN YEARS IN SAY IT'S THE FIRST TIME THE THING EVER ACTUALLY MADE SENSE 90 minutes, one table, a pile of Tinkertoys. No wall of jargon -- he builds a real Git repo out of plastic rods right in front of you. -> The moment he snaps the first pieces together, Git stops being scary command-line magic and becomes what it really is: a chain of tiny objects pointing at each other. Branches, merges, rebase, the staging area -- every concept that's ever burned you at 2am -- he rebuilds with toys until a four year old could follow. He calls Git a two-trick pony. After this you'll see exactly why. Memorizing commands was never the skill -> holding the graph in your head is. And with an AI agent now committing and rebasing on your machine all day, that mental model is the only thing between you and a history you can't read. Scroll the comments and you'll see the same thing over and over: this is the talk that finally made Git click and made people the one their whole team comes to when it breaks.

Shameful and Disgusting! Trump using extremely derogatory language against Saudi Crown Prince MBS. Is this how you talk about the head of a state, one of your greatest allies? I could not believe it, so I had to watch the full speech, and here is the full version of what he said.

Notch Clips. every other ad tool ignores the footage sitting in your dropbox and generates new clips from a prompt. notch opens your library instead. it watches every clip you have ever shot and understands what is inside each one. the mood. who is in frame. what they are doing. the quality. so when you ask it to build an ad, it does not start from scratch. it reaches into your past shoots, finds the clip that fits, and slots it into the exact moment that needs it. here is what that looks like. you had thirteen versions of one reaction shot. notch picked the one that worked and left the other twelve. not by filename. not by guessing from a reference image. it watched all thirteen and could tell the difference. that is the whole idea. the right clip was already in your library. every other tool was about to make a worse one. footage you already shot, turned into every ad you still need. drop your site and a few clips you have. notch builds the first ad from them.

MICROSOFT PUT THE ENTIRE SOURCE CODE OF WINDOWS INTO A SINGLE GIT REPO -- 300 GIGABYTES, 3.5 MILLION FILES AND MADE IT CLONE IN SECONDS 31 minutes from the Microsoft engineer who actually did it, bending the tool you use for a 50-file side project to hold the biggest codebase on the planet. -> The moment it lands, every excuse dies. You've heard "Git doesn't scale, use something else" your whole career. They ran git status on the largest repo alive and it came back instantly. The secret wasn't a different tool. It was understanding what git actually stores and realizing you never need the whole thing on disk. Pull only the files you touch. Ignore the 3.4 million you never will. Knowing the commands was never the ceiling -> understanding how git stores and moves things is what lets you do what everyone swears is impossible. And as AI agents spin up repos that balloon overnight, knowing how git scales is what keeps you from drowning in your own history. Everyone treats git like it maxes out at a hobby project. One team quietly proved it can hold an operating system. Bookmark & Watch it today ↓

"It's embarrassing because the best guy in professional wrestling today is not a wrestler... Logan Paul is a star. Unbelievable. You talk about the IT factor. This guy reeks of IT. The fact of how long he's been doing this and how good he is... That should challenge every professional wrestler out there." Vince Russo shares who he thinks is the top talent in WWE today.

THE GUY WHO BUILT GIT GAVE A FULL LECTURE AT GOOGLE BECAUSE 99% OF DEVELOPERS USE IT WRONG 70 minutes of pure firepower from Linus Torvalds himself - the man who wrote both Linux and Git from scratch. -> The moment you watch it, you realize why "I'll just figure out merge conflicts on the job" is the dumbest sentence in modern software engineering. He spends the first 10 minutes calling out every other version control system in existence and he's not joking. He literally tells Google engineers using Perforce to find a new tool. Git isn't a "nice-to-have" anymore -> it's the operating system of every codebase you'll ever touch. If the man who built it had to explain it to a room full of Google engineers, you don't get a pass either. Don't forget to bookmark & watch it today.

anthropic's head of product just revealed how they're able to ship faster than any other AI company. their secret: "side quest maxxing." here's how it works: instead of long-term roadmaps, anthropic runs on unplanned afternoon experiments. anyone on the team gets full freedom to spend an afternoon prototyping an idea and show it to the team. you get to skip the approval process entirely. then, employees at anthropic try it. if they keep using it the next day and the day after that, it gets polished into a real feature. if nobody touches it again, it dies. that's the whole process. claude code on desktop started as one engineer's afternoon project. he wanted it to work on desktop so he built a prototype. people on the team started using it immediately. so they shipped it. the todo list feature started the same way. someone built it, the team adopted it internally, and it became one of the most-used parts of the product. plugins started when one engineer shared a spec with claude code and the prototype that came back was close to production-ready. went from idea to working feature in a single session. they also killed standup meetings. instead of telling people what you're working on, you just show a working demo. all walk no talk basically the team structure makes this possible. > designers ship code. > engineers make product decisions. > product managers build prototypes. everyone can take an idea from concept to working demo without waiting on anyone else. the biggest features at a $380b company came from afternoon experiments that nobody asked for. honestly this matches my own experience cooking with ai. some of the best workflows i use every day came from just fucking around. opening a session with zero intention and asking claude what it can do, or jamming on a random idea to see where it goes. if you're only using ai for tasks you already have in mind, you're missing the best part. open a session with no agenda. ask it to surprise you. try building something stupid. half the time it goes nowhere. the other half it becomes the thing you use most. you need to be sidequestmaxxing.

Look at the arc of the day. It started with a small guy, in a small caravan, with a small entourage going into a big building. And you can see on his face that he's gone from reality TV to reality. He looks shaken up. But then... he gets in a big plane and goes to his big resort and has a big event. He's somehow slipped the noose once again and is having the conversation HE wants to have about the nonsense HE wants to talk about. He's just... pulling the country down into his own mirror-world. The GOP needs to stop it.

Krasner: This is a normalization of troops being deployed to do what they should not be asked to do, what they're not equipped to do, and what violates the constitution and laws, and why is he doing it? He's doing it for the same reason he had that stupid birthday parade. He's doing it because he really likes the idea of being a dictator. He likes the idea of destroying our legal system. He likes the idea of eliminating the courts and taking away individual rights. I mean, look what he's doing, talking about people who are unhoused as if they're criminals. They're not criminals. They need a place to sleep. They need food. You know, last time I checked the bible, it said, take everything you have and give it to the poor. It didn't say steal everything you can from the poor and lock them up. And that's what he's doing here. This is a profoundly un-american attempt to exercise power in ways that are illegal, to scare big cities and to go after democratic cities that are diverse, to serve as racist, fascist agenda.

I can't stop thinking about this... Michael Caine on his defining philosophy on life: Use the Difficulty As a young actor, he was rehearsing a play scene when a chair got stuck in the door and blocked his path. He told the other actor he couldn't get by the chair to enter the room in the scene. The actor's response: "Use the difficulty...if it's a comedy, fall over it, if it's a drama, pick it up and smash it." This idea—of using the difficulty—became a defining mantra for Michael Caine's life. "There's never anything so bad that you cannot use that difficulty...if you can use it a quarter of one percent to your advantage, you're ahead, you didn't let it get you down." This idea hit me hard... How can you use the difficulty you're currently facing? How can you embrace the struggle? How can you find flow through the friction? How can you sow the seeds of your light during the periods of darkness? As with everything in life, control the controllable: The difficulty is already there, you can't control it. You can control how you react to it. You can control your response to it. You can control your attitude towards it. Lesson: Difficulty is inevitable. Use it.

He's a rich kid who is a great actor. He -- he play acts. He play acts" "I'm just saying there's no other obvious Democrat. He has all the energy behind him. You talk about slicing and dicing the electorate, he's going to slice it and dice it in one way -- oppressors and oppressed. And I want to find out if he has it in him to give it up. I don't think he does, because that's the energy in the Democratic Party. It's oppressors and oppressed. That's why the Jews in this city feel scared because they know he has labeled them as the oppressors. That's why people who create jobs in New York City are leery, because he labels them the oppressors. That is the the worldview of the energy of this campaign. And it's also the worldview of the energy of Democratic primaries across this country."

Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Konnor Griffin found his peace not in a good game, a big hit, or a strong performance. He found it in knowing who he is and why he is here. "If there were tough games, that's where I found my peace. Knowing that I feel like I'm called to play baseball, but at the end of the day, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is living my life to share the word, share the gospel, and live in eternity in heaven. And that just brought such peace to me through the times of adversity." That is a young man who has already figured out something most athletes never do. The game is not the foundation. The game is the platform. And when the game gets hard, the foundation is the only thing that holds. Griffin also said something that cuts straight to the identity question every believer wrestles with. "It helped me kind of separate my identity from being a baseball player to being a Christian and a believer, trying to share the word." That separation is everything. When your identity is in your performance, a tough game shakes you to the core. When your identity is in Christ, a tough game is just a tough game. It does not define you. It does not diminish you. It cannot take anything from you that actually matters. Griffin is not waiting until he makes it to the big leagues to share his faith. He is sharing it now, in the minors, in the middle of the grind, in the tough games where most young players are just trying to survive. That is exactly where the gospel is most powerful. Not on the highlight reel. In the hard days. "I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content" (Philippians 4:11). Have you separated your identity from what you do and anchored it in who Jesus says you are? This is what it looks like when a young athlete gets the order right before the pressure hits. Konnor Griffin is a minor league prospect grinding through tough games, and instead of finding his peace in his stats, he found it in knowing he is called to share the gospel. Baseball is the platform. Jesus is the foundation. Pray for Konnor Griffin as he continues to develop and pray that more young athletes anchor their identity in Christ before the pressure of the game tries to define them.

how to use Google's NEW open source Design.md + AI Skills to make your startup look like a $100 million company in 1 hour: 1. Design.md is an open source file from Google that captures the soul of a design. Typography, colors, spacing, all in one markdown file. You attach it to your prompt and your agent builds beautiful things every time. 2. Think of it this way. The HTML is the finished dish. The design.md is the recipe. The skills are the ingredients. Put them together and everything you build looks consistent and professional. 3. Don't create a design system from scratch. Find a brand you love. Linear, Stripe, Vercel, whatever resonates. Study it. Use ChatGPT or Claude to help you extract the design language into your own design.md file. 4. Build skills on top of your design.md. A landing page skill. A mobile app skill. A motion design skill. A slide deck skill. Each one references the same design.md so everything looks like it came from the same designer. 5. The biggest mistake people make: they nail one screen and then everything else looks generic. Design.md solves this. One file keeps every page, every format, every medium consistent. 6. Use it across everything. Your landing page. Your app. Your pitch deck. Your promo videos. Same DNA. Same taste. Same system. That's what separates a startup that looks real from one that looks vibe-coded. 7. Build a second brain for design inspiration. When you see something beautiful in the real world or online, capture it. Save it. When you're building something new, reference it. Taste is developed, not downloaded. 8. It's obvious but the difference between a product people trust and a product people bounce from is how it looks and feels. Design.md gives you that edge. you can watch below shoutout to Meng To for coming on The Startup Ideas Podcast (SIP) 🧃 and walking through his full workflow. if you want to use AI to actually build gorgeous designs, you'll want to use see this. watch

An entire empire was overthrown over a two percent tax on a breakfast beverage. Look at what you tolerate now. You are taxed when you earn it. Taxed when you spend it. Taxed when you save it. Taxed when you invest it. And when you die, they tax whatever is left. That is not a system. That is a harvest. You commute in a car you paid sales tax to buy. You drive it on roads you were already taxed to build. You fill it with gas taxed by the gallon. When you sell that car, the next buyer pays sales tax on it again. The same car. Taxed every time it changes hands. You arrive at a job where your salary is cut before it ever touches your hands. If you work for yourself, you pay both sides. Two people on paper. Neither one keeps what they earned. Then you go home. Every bill you open has a government standing behind it with its hand out. You buy a house with money they already took their share of. Then they charge you property tax on it every year for the rest of your life. You want to renovate your own kitchen. You need a permit. You want to build a deck on your own land. You need a permit. You pay for the property. Then you pay for permission to use it. Stop paying property tax and they seize your home. Not because you missed a mortgage payment. Because you missed a payment to the government for the privilege of keeping what is already yours. You do not own your home. You rent it from the state. If you leave something behind for your children, they are taxed on what you were already taxed to earn. The same wealth. Taxed at every stage of your life. Then taxed one final time because you had the audacity to die. They found a way to monetize your absence. We are told this is the price of civilization. It is not. It is architecture. The most effective prison ever built is the one where the inmates believe they are free. They did not take your freedom. They priced you out of it. If you kept the full value of your labor, you would be free within years. Not decades. Years. The system cannot allow that. A machine built on consumption needs a consumer that never stops. You did not sign a social contract. You were assigned one. Now pay attention. They spent decades perfecting the extraction of your productivity. Now they are building the technology to replace you. AI is not coming for your job because corporations are greedy. It is coming because a system that already takes half your output just realized it can take all of it. Without needing you in the equation. You were never the point of this arrangement. You were the input. And the moment they engineer a cheaper one, you become a rounding error on a quarterly earnings call. They did not build AI to free you. They built it to finish what the tax code started. It was never about the tea. It was about the precedent. Today we hand over half our waking lives and thank them for the potholes. You do not live in a free economy. You live in a subscription you never signed up for. And the penalty for canceling is everything you have.

Elon Musk just told you the job is dying. Most people heard a prediction. A few heard a prison door opening. Musk: “In less than 20 years, working at all will be optional.” That is not a policy suggestion. That is a countdown. For three hundred years, the human blueprint has been identical. You are born. You move to the city. You rent a box near the office. You trade your body and your hours for the right to exist. You do this until you are old. Then you stop. Then you die. The entire model runs on one assumption. That human labor is the only engine. AI and robotics delete that assumption. When the machine handles production at a scale no human crew can match, the forced migration to the city evaporates. The commute evaporates. The cubicle evaporates. The alarm clock that owns your nervous system for forty years evaporates. Musk: “I think it won’t be the case that you have to be in a city for a job.” The city was never a choice. It was a requirement disguised as ambition. You moved to the noise and the concrete and the $4,000 rent because the paycheck lived there. Remove the paycheck from the equation and the geography changes overnight. You can live in the mountains. On the coast. In the silence of a town most people have never heard of. You can wake up to nothing but trees and cold air and the complete absence of anyone else’s schedule. That is not a fantasy. That is the math resolving. But here is where most people break. They hear “work is optional” and they see emptiness. A species with nothing to do. Billions of people staring at screens until their minds dissolve. That fear tells you everything about what the system has already done to us. We confused labor with purpose. The grind with meaning. The paycheck with proof that we matter. Musk: “In the same way that you could grow your own vegetables in your garden.” The analogy is precise. You do not grow tomatoes because the economy demands it. You grow them because something in you wants to build a thing with your hands and watch it come alive. That instinct does not disappear when the job does. It gets unleashed. The artist who spent twenty years doing accounting finally paints. The engineer who always wanted to build something of her own finally builds it. The kid in a small town who could never afford to take the risk finally takes it. Work does not vanish. Forced work vanishes. What replaces it is creation without a gun to your head. This is the part that keeps me up at night. We are standing at the edge of the largest liberation in human history. And the loudest voices in the room are begging to stay in the cell. They want the commute. They want the boss. They want the structure that tells them when to eat and when to sleep and when they are allowed to think about their own life. Because freedom without a template is terrifying. The next twenty years will not test our technology. The technology is already ahead of schedule. They will test whether the species can handle what it has been asking for since the beginning of civilization. Time. Space. Silence. And the unbearable weight of choosing what your life actually means when no one is forcing the answer. That is not a prediction. That is the final exam. And nobody is ready.

Rodney Mullen is the "Godfather" of skateboarding for inventing most of the sport's tricks. He started the first skateboarder-owned company, which he eventually sold for $46 million. In his 50s now, he still skateboards every day. He attributes his sustained success to this: "It's such a gift to be able to [do] something and to love it for the sake of it...I have that. I’ve nurtured it in my life." "I see people with talent, with all those things," he says, "but the one thing they don't have is just that love for doing it for the sake of it...So if there's anything, just find joy in what you do for the sake of it." There's a word for what Rodney's describing: Autotelic. From the Greek "auto" (self) & "telos" (end), an Autotelic is "someone or something that has a purpose in, and not apart from, itself." As opposed to someone who views their work as a means to some end (money, fame, etc.)—for an Autotelic... "The work is the win," as Ryan Holiday likes to say. Since you control the work you put in and not how it’s received... "Ultimately, you have to love doing it," Ryan once told me. "You have to get to a place where doing the work is the win and everything else is extra.” You have to "find joy in what you do for the sake of it." - - - "The closer we get to the core of all being, the more synonymous the effort and its reward.” Follow Billy Oppenheimer for more content like this!
