Months upon months of hard work from incredibly talented individuals, iterations and leadership reviews culminates in the release of our latest operating system update. The Navigator is a big change in how users can access the content and friends they want to connect with on their devices. Glad to be a part of such a challenging and impactful project for millions of people. Let us know your thoughts!

Give yourself permission to shed what holds you back from being who you aspire to be It’s like taking off a weighted vest

You can even outgrow who you think you’re meant to be This is the infinite game of life

Focus. Remove unnecessary time expenditures. Hard, but rewarding.

Ngl I’d like to gamify X but instead of the reward being notifications/engagement it should be something else like digital objects, achievements or things you can collect/trade. I used to love this aspect of Cartoon Orbit back in the day. Anyone want to build a new one with me?

This is it

In a world where execution, discipline and consistency are everything you don’t have to worry about someone stealing your idea. Share your incredible ideas on X and see if someone is able to see it through.

I’m 2 steps away from becoming what I thought was the ideal version of myself 10 years ago. Think I can do them both in the next 3 months? 1. Dunk a basketball (I’m 6’2 with no vert) 2. Have a 6 pack (every man’s dream once in life, maybe looking like Brad Pitt from Troy) What I’ve accomplished along the way 1. Dream career in tech, building the future at Meta 2. Married the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met 3. Had 2 beautiful kids These things were just a dream a decade ago. Go out and live yours.

After finding this little nugget today I asked Grok to summarize it for me since I’m currently a human manager Core Thesis: AI will not replace human creativity but will elevate it by shifting creative work from sculpting (doing everything yourself) to gardening (creating conditions for ideas to flourish). This transition moves us from a knowledge economy (value = what you know) to an allocation economy (value = how well you direct intelligence—human + AI). Key Concepts: 1. AI as a Pattern Collector & Articulator • Helps you discover role models, examples, and patterns (e.g., “writers who built businesses”). • Analyzes your “ineffable list” (personal collection of inspiring fragments) to articulate your unique taste—a “CT scan of your soul.” 2. Creative Work = Gardening, Not Sculpting • You don’t generate every word/pixel; you set conditions, prompt, prune, and edit. • AI handles drudgery (summaries, tweets, thumbnails, research) so you focus on vision, taste, and direction. 3. AI Democratizes Expertise & Enables Generalism • Instant access to PhD-level knowledge across domains. • Returns us to Athenian generalism—one person can now orchestrate complex, multidisciplinary work. 4. Cultural Taboo = Creative Opportunity • Using AI in art is currently “taboo,” making it fertile ground for bold, novel work. My human analysis: This rings pretty true as someone that is already trying to wrangle human intelligence and create an environment for it to thrive. With the addition of artificial intelligence as a supporting tool and potential contributor the ability to coordinate the group intelligence efforts seems like a no brainer as a key skill of the future workforce. This is really going to be an interesting 5-10 years as we exponentially accelerate societal progress.

A great baseball player fails 70% of the time he goes to the plate

I honestly hope some startup comes out of left field with an iron man style helmet with a display in it. Think about someone taking a motorcycle helmet, deconstructing it and embedding a ton of sensors and tech. I’d buy that. Especially since these devices are still going to be worn in your home in isolation 99% of the time.

This is a big part of engineering management or leading humans in general. To get the most out of the people you support you need to get them energized and acting as missionaries not mercenaries. Sell your vision and help light the way forward.

The art of selective caring That’s a new way to phrase a quality that I admire in many high performers I work with

Stripping away all unnecessary usages of time provides ample surface area for success

Always love a good dark mode UI

As a manager of humans this feels like an opportunity to provide some value If you want to learn these skills let me know maybe I’ll write some guides or blogs about it
