radical candour from a deep generalist
I would love some sort of monthly subscription that gets me public transit, some car and some scooter – all rolled into one.
Uber is dead to me but someone should do this.

Still digging in. Worth a read.
Stripe partnered with Harris Poll to conduct a study with thousands of C-level executives and developers across 30+ industries to look at how businesses are leveraging developer talent today, and what they could be doing differently. When software engineers are working on what matters, businesses thrive. When they’re not, it costs billions.
Love seeing new ideas on apps. Even better this one hails from Singapore!
Already cross platform and simple but fresh take on tasks or lists.
Giving it a while on iOS and macOS.

12 Startups in 12 Months – Jon Yongfook:
Things are very different now. Today, years since my last product launch and having given the last 2.5 years of my career to the corporate world, I am embarrassed to say my product shipping muscle has atrophied. So I’m spending the next year exercising that muscle back, by building and shipping a new product every month for a year. 12 startups in 12 months. This concept is not new. Well-known digital nomad Pieter Levels was the first to attempt this challenge back in 2014. One or two others have also attempted it.
Awesome read. I need to pick up The Economist this week.
I think this one comment sums up what no other ecosystem in the world has.
The density. And he even misses of few of the players in the density – the VC’s, the lawyers and even the companies (many used to be startups) that buy the startups – all are in one big area.
Maybe this shouldn’t be what makes an ecosystem thrive since we all talk about the power of tech in decentralisation and distribution but it seems in this case – density really does matter.
Silicon Valley has always had one important advantage over other regions when it comes to the tech sector. There is a much higher density of talent, capital, employment opportunity, and basic research in Silicon Valley versus other locations. When I say density, I mean physical density. If you walked a mile, how many tech companies would you pass along the way? That metric in Silicon Valley has always been higher than elsewhere and still is. So even though the return on capital (human and invested) has significant headwinds in today’s Silicon Valley, it is still a lot easier to deploy that capital there. And I think that will continue to be the case for a long time to come.
Long but good read.
Obviously opinions and some controversial ones at that.
