... usually discover extraordinary people after we already know how the story ends. Steve Jobs is the guy who launched the Macintosh, returned to Apple, introduced the iPod, pulled an iPhone out of his pocket, and helped change technology forever. But before all of that He was just a young person with ideas. I became fascinated by the idea of watching that person evolve . Not reading a biography. Actually watching it happen. So I built Steve

When talking to users, you may need the investigator someone who listens, asks simple questions, and avoids defending the product. When facing rejection, you may need the competitor someone who treats the result as feedback rather than as a judgment of personal worth. This is different from asking: What would Steve

... baton stage matters. The founder can light the fire, but eventually other people need to be able to carry it, see themselves in it, and make it bigger than whoever started it. It s not really personal brand vs product brand. It s knowing when one is helping the other, and when it starts becoming a ceiling. The math starts mathin pretty quick. Comment from Stella Kim(@stella1215x_boop): Personal brand builds trust and distribution. Product brand builds transferable value ... ... there's probably nothing more efficient than a founder led audience. You're borrowing trust you haven't earned yet as a brand, and that shortcut can be the difference between getting your first 100 users in a week versus

... what you're hoping to learn? That can go a very long way. People are often kinder than we expect. More open than we expect. You just have to get over that self-edit reflex. At 12 years old, Steve Jobs got his first job on the supply line for HP by making one phone call: https://youtu.be/zkTf0LmDqKI Actual rejection Even once you get beyond self-rejection, there's always the possibility of real rejection.

... Sequoia backed BlockIt yesterday, and there s a growing wave of smart human brains and agents trying to save everyone time and stress. It reminds me of my favourite Apple ad of all time: Not because we re Steve Jobs (although I do love roll necks) or having Apple s impact on the world (maybe one day) - but because when you care about saving people time and bringing people together, there s room for everyone pushing the space forward ... ... grateful (and excited) to be riding that wave with you.

... Recently, I posted here about how Y Combinator launched a program that allows young people to study at a university while building a product. Many young people today idolise the likes of Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, and other dropouts who didn t finish college but made it big with a breakthrough idea. So I m curious: What s your highest level of education? Do you consider yourself successful? And what s your take on dropping out early to build ...

... that feeling when you realize you're spending more time talking about work than actually doing it? When your day becomes mostly @Slack archaeology and meeting Tetris ? Yeah, that was me. I spent 14 years at Apple from watching Steve unveil the first iPhone as an intern to eventually leading wireless hardware teams across three continents on products like @Apple AirPods . The tech was incredible. The bureaucracy? Meh. By the end, I was spending more time managing communication about ...

Comment from Ricky Guo(@rickyguo): I use Augment ... ... Code in terms of diff view functionality. The underlying library for diff rendering is more mature in Claude Code, which makes a big difference in usability. Still, Auggie's CLI-focused design might appeal to some developers.

... point, we use AI isn t a differentiator. Models are quickly becoming a commodity. So if you re leading with AI in your one-liner, it s worth asking: does that truly set you apart? When it comes to competitors, you have to be clear about your differentiators. Example: Tolan is a hot AI companion app, but they don t want to be lumped in with AI girlfriends or sex bots. Their entire brand reflects that from the colors ... ... design to the things Tolan says and how the product was introduced.
