You can be vague and right about the future broadly. You can talk specifically about what your company is doing directionally on those lines. But, when I hear people talking in detail about how the future is going to work I just roll my eye

This problem has permeated everywhere. Nobody can predict the future. Even VCs can’t and yet I’ll get a weekly email with a confident narrative about the future. Looking at a16z. CEOs do this as well. Listen to Satya talk about how AI will

That is the comforting idea that allows people to believe in the status quo. It is a possibility but not the likely outcome in my opinion.

Elon bought a dead social network and look at him go! But seriously, I log into paypal once a month to pay my landlord. I am a MAU. That is crazy. It’s more then I can say for ABNB. Maybe they should buy Paypal. Save on those transaction fe

Nailed it. Instead of reading this long form post I will eat popcorn and watch the show unfold as laid out here.

I have never been a crypto currency advocate, but if the banking utility of a mobile phone is going to be dictated by the operating systems that finance apps whitelist, I might want open rails that work with my open phone

Building browsers is not learning to dunk, its more like mastering some game. Your example basically sucks. Hah

Yes. To even mention venture in this era. It is more associated with status quo than being weird.

For this example, if you built a browser in 2000 it would put you in a great position to launch android in 2008. I think this is pg’s point. You spend all this time learning the interesting bits and when an inflection comes along that makes

Ive been saying that apple could build a “band” accessible by everyone for $50. However Apple is run by wallstreet. Its not user first, but margin first.

Explain this please.

I dont think its right to say the mistake boils down to 1 number. The price is so far off from the pc that they are effectively completely different products for different markets and uses. The deviation is deeply rooted. It just most obvi

The app revenue cut is because you partner with Apple to deliver a solution to something in a users life with them. Apple sees themselves as critical to an app’s ability to exist at all. Its like nintendo taking a cut of a nintendo game. Yo

That is exactly what Apple has decided to do. You have named the tradeoff. Stop the possibility by disabling everyone. It has always been this way. People have had nearly 20 years to leave Apple

Its not as simple as extensions running on webkit. Webkit is just a component. Extensions are basically apps. Apple goes through a lot of trouble to make it so you cant build an app platform inside your own app. Not saying impossible. But n

Thats my point. There isn't a single centralized aggregator and there is very little value in it. Most of the margins come from other kinds of APIs. Gcp, azure and aws are not differentiated on openlinuxvm its just race to the bottom p

Agree with you

Why a centralized trusted provider? Linux VMs are also useful (host services that are the end result of programming) and open source and fit for cloud convenience. I dont go to OpenLinuxVM to get my vms. I just get them from whereever. Aws.

It’s not the part you see, its what they see to implement the features you see.

I thought they were concerned with people living on their devices. Like a mirror digital world. Too bad.

i've got old friends who have been telling me about the same app idea they've had for 10 years and are now spending 1000s on Lovable tokens. This isn't sustainable customers. It's delusional people spending money on the

I also think you under appreciate the value of toy software. We’ve spent 20 years talking about serious practices for making serious software but what if the next 20 years is about making personal toys that scratch our own itch? Perhaps LLM
