888 If someone over 70 has started spending long stretches of time doing something that looks useless from the outside (staring at birds, rereading the same book, sitting in the garden doing nothing) they’re not declining, they’re doing the most important work of their entire life

If someone over 70 has started spending long stretches of time doing something that looks useless from the outside (staring at birds, rereading the same book, sitting in the garden doing nothing) they’re not declining, they’re doing the most important work of their entire life

There’s a small park near our apartment in Saigon where, most afternoons, an old Vietnamese man sits on the same concrete bench under the same tree. He doesn’t read. He doesn’t use a phone. He doesn’t talk to anyone. He just sits, watching the light move across the pavement, sometimes closing his eyes, sometimes watching ... Read more

Почему запустить B2B SaaS как бизнес сложнее, чем разработать сам продукт

И почему команды слишком поздно понимают, что сделали сервис, но ещё не собрали его как бизнес.Недавно жена скинула мне в шутку пост с вопросом: «На каком ты этапе?» Я посмеялся, но потом почему-то эта шутка не отпустила. Да и шутка ли это... Читать далее Read more

Почему 90% баз знаний бесполезны — и проблема не в сотрудниках

У всех компаний, куда я приходил работать и о которых слышал от своих знакомых, база знаний выглядела одинаково: сотни статей с устаревшими инструкциями, которыми никто не пользуется из-за их неактуальности и неюзабельного поиска. Настоящие ценные знания хранятся в головах, онбординг зависит от конкретных людей, а номинальная база знаний представляет собой свалку дублирующихся и неактуальных документов. Читать далее Read more

Генератор кода vs ChatGPT 5.3 Codex — тестируем кто пишет код лучше

Ещё три года назад идея попросить нейросеть написать рабочий код казалась чем-то странным, или экспериментом для энтузиастов. Сейчас это обычная рабочая практика. Разработчики используют ИИ чтобы закрывать рутинные задачи быстрее, а люди без технического образования — чтобы решать задачи, которые раньше требовали нанять специалиста.Вопрос уже не «Умеет ли нейросеть писать код?». Вопрос — какая справится с этим лучше, и в чём разница. Читать далее Read more

Forget the dorm-room founder. The real winners are often twice that age.

The image is by now so familiar it feels like fact. A twenty-something in a hoodie, hunched over a laptop in a dorm room or a garage, types out the lines of code that will turn into a billion-dollar company by the time he’s thirty. Zuckerberg at Facebook. Jobs at Apple. Gates at Microsoft. The ... Read more Read more

The generation that sacrificed the most for their families is now quietly grappling with a question nobody prepared them for: if I spent my whole life living for others, what do I actually believe about how I want to live now

There is a man who lives on the ground floor of my building. I don’t know his full story, but I know his rhythm. Every afternoon, around the same time I come downstairs to let my daughter run around the common area, he’s already there, sitting on the bench outside his door, taking the air. ...

Stop asking what AI can do and start asking what it can’t

Can it code the feature? Can it analyze the data? Can it replace the junior analyst, the copywriter, the paralegal, ... Read more Read more

I asked 5 of my friends what they’d say at my funeral and then I sat quietly in my kitchen reading the answers and understood for the first time what I actually meant to the people around me — and what I had been getting wrong

I came across the idea somewhere between a philosophy podcast and a late-night scroll through Reddit. Someone had asked their closest friends to write what they would say at their funeral, not as a morbid exercise, but as a way of understanding how they were actually showing up in other people’s lives. Not how they ... Read more Read more

The habits that are ruining your focus aren’t always the obvious ones like social media or a messy desk, they’re the ones that feel productive, checking email before you’ve had a single original thought, saying yes to a meeting that could’ve been a message, and starting every morning inside someone else’s agenda

Most of us worry about the obvious focus killers. The phone face-up on the desk. The Slack badge in the corner of the screen. The third tab of TikTok we swore we’d close after one video. These get most of the blame because they look like distractions — loud, colorful, and a little embarrassing to ... Read more Read more

How to stop feeling guilty for wanting more than the people around you were taught to want

I am familiar with a different kind of guilt that doesn’t announce itself loudly.

You start to wonder whether wanting more makes you ungrateful, or whether reaching ... Read more Read more

I caught myself using 'we' to describe decisions that were entirely mine. The phantom committee in my grammar turned out to be a quiet vote against the idea that I was allowed to want anything alone. Read more
