I'm excited to share that my book, Life at the Speed of Play, will be out in June. I've spent the last 5 years writing so I can share my lessons and stories around building products and scaling companies.

Zuck is more Gates than Jobs.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates both copied from Xerox PARC. Then they copied each other.

Mark Pincus (@markpinc) says one of them was just better at it: "Bill Gates was not as good at the magic trick as Steve Jobs." So it looked like Gates was copying Apple.

His read on Zuckerberg: "arguably not that good at copying because when you see Threads and a lot of his products, they look like blatant copies."

The trick is to emulate someone else's proven success perfectly and still have it feel new to people.

Key product feedback for team @bot and @elonmusk . I hit the paywall on grokbot. There are so many steps to pay that ive failed 2x. Are you tracking failed pay attempts?

Also you should give some limited free use daily bc im not going to remember to come back.

100 pct. Fuck the lying MSM who tell the story they feel like over truth and facts. The IDF took out two terrorists before they could kill more.

This is just beyond the pale. “Accused”??!!

Here’s exactly what happened: terrorists murdered two Israeli soldiers in an ambush and the IDF swiftly neutralized the deadly threat.

This reporting is so shameful (it’s done with intention), and this is not an isolated example. You must do better, @NBCNews.
