New course: Spec-Driven Development with Coding Agents, built in partnership with JetBrains @jetbrains, and taught by Paul Everitt @paulweveritt.

Vibe coding is fast, but often produces code that doesn't match what you asked for. This short course teaches you spec-driven development: write a detailed spec defining what to build, and work with your coding agent to implement it. Many of the best developers already build this way.

A spec lets you control large code changes with a few words, preserve context across agent sessions, and stay in control as your project grows in complexity.

Skills you'll gain:
- Write a detailed specification to define your mission, tech stack, and roadmap, giving your agent the context it needs from the start
- Plan, implement, and validate features in iterative loops using a spec as your agent's guide
- Apply the same repeatable workflow to both new and legacy codebases
- Package your workflow into a portable agent skill that works across agents and IDEs

Join and write specs that keep your coding agent on track!

I have a friend who is 40 and damn near a billionaire.

I asked him what his one key to investing well is...

Here's what he told me:

We have a habit of late nights, good wine, and tough questions about the world around us. One night I was candid asking how he made his fortune. I was looking for things to replicate...

The simplicity of his reply surprised me.

“I train my brain to perform one task incredibly well. One task alone... to never conform.”

Here's how he explained it:

The Funnel to Nonconformity:

+Become a funnel for ideas
+Let ideas fight based on merit, not emotion
+Find courage to act in nonconformity
= Opportunities others never see, or are too scared to act upon

#1 Don’t Believe In Anger:

Anger is a trick of the mind pushing you into a fight or flight. Let me tell you what you can’t do well when you’re fighting or flighting... think. Remove your anger.

#2 The Controversy & Conformity Conundrum:

There is a spectrum where controversies and conformity sit on opposite ends. Most of the wins in life land on the edge of controversy. Choose your controversy wisely, but choose it.

#3 Reading As A Diet:

Be careful what you read, it becomes the way you think. Curate what you let into your brain as you do with your body.

#4 Ideas Strongly Stated & Loosely Held:

Having a strong opinion is the mark of intellect but having the ability to change it is the mark of true intelligence.

#5 Share Your MVPs:

Every time you produce a product or idea, more come back ten-fold. So don’t make it perfect, make it done. Then let the market decide.

#6 Warren Buffet Doesn’t Optimize:

Wake up at 5 am, meditate, work out, drink 72 ounces of chloride water and stand upside down. Or... do none of those things and instead focus on thinking clearly, intently, and strategically before you pull any triggers.

#7 Boredom As a Superpower:

The best ideas need breathing room. They’re a flower stretching for the sun. Clutter them with meetings, and watch them die.

#8 Numbers > Narrative:

Anytime something is common practice, check if it’s common sense. Return to the very first principle there is: 1+1 = 2. Numbers are often terrible liars.

#9 Can You Explain it to Grandma?

Can you take the complex and make it simple? If not, you don’t know enough. Strong beliefs paired with little knowledge is a dangerous spot to operate.

#10 Every New Learning Is A Little Death:

Your skin regenerates itself every 72 days. Your ideas need an equal level of regeneration. Challenge old ideas and let them be reborn into something better.

Finally, I'll leave you with this:

“A contrarian isn’t one who always objects — that’s a conformist of a different sort. A contrarian reasons independently, from the ground up, and resists pressure to conform.” - Naval

If you feel like you’re behind in your career.
If you feel like you’re losing.
If you’re not sure if it’s going to work.
There’s nothing wrong with you.

Entrepreneurship is not clarity. It’s uncertainty repeated daily.
Most people quit here. Not because they’re incapable.
Because they think this feeling means they’re failing.

It doesn’t. It means: You’re taking risk. You’re outside your comfort zone. You’re doing what others avoid

The ones who win feel this longer. Not less.

Success that burns through your mental bandwidth isn’t success.

It’s mismanagement disguised as commitment.

Early in my career, I thought being available meant being valuable.
Every ping got a reply.
Every meeting got a “yes.”
Every spare minute became a catch-up slot.

On paper, it looked like momentum.
In reality, it was erosion.

High performance isn’t about being always on.
It’s about knowing when to switch off so your decisions stay sharp.

These are the boundaries that keep my focus intact:

1. Control inputs.
No phone before strategy, no Slack before thinking.

2. Batch reactions.
Email and messages twice a day, everything else waits.

3. Protect transitions.
Five minutes between calls to reset the brain.

4. Create unreachable hours.
Evenings or weekends when nobody gets access.

5. Guard energy like capital.
Spend it where it compounds, not where it’s wasted.

This isn’t self-care.
It’s self-leadership.

Because success that costs your sanity will eventually cost your results.

Which boundary protects your focus the most?

People are waking up to what living a "good life" actually means.

And discovering that it's far less complicated than what we've been sold.

It's not being a billionaire or owning a bunch of homes, or being featured in Forbes or Entrepreneur or whatever.

There's certainly nothing wrong with those things.

But a good life is remarkably simple:

- Own something that produces income
- Work hard to stay in good physical shape
- Build strong relationships in your community

There are (of course) many other things that you might add to your list.

But these three seem to be the cornerstone of 90% of the happy people I talk to.

The ownership gives them a bit of freedom from work.

Staying in shape lets them enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Building strong relationships keeps them feeling connected and not lonely.

So...if you're not living the "good life," consider filling these three buckets.

If you're looking for creative ways to do that, I send one short essay every Saturday on work, money, and building a life you actually choose.

180K+ people read it, and you can join if you'd like to be one of them: https://buff.ly/fpKsukt

The good life is a lot easier than you think.

Stanford just dropped 400+ pages on the state of AI in 2026.

Here are the key takeaways:

1. AI capability is not plateauing. It is accelerating and reaching more people than ever.

2. The U.S.-China performance gap has effectively closed. Models from both countries are trading the lead.

3. U.S. hosts the most data centers, but one Taiwanese foundry (TSMC) makes nearly every leading AI chip.

4. AI won a gold medal at the Math Olympiad but can't reliably read an analog clock. Researchers call this the "jagged frontier."

5. Robots still fail 88% of household tasks, but work well in controlled environments.

6. Responsible AI is falling behind capability. Documented AI incidents increased by 55%

7. U.S. leads in AI investment but is losing global talent. Researcher inflows dropped 89% since 2017.

8. GenAI adoption is spreading at historic speed. Adoption is 53% faster than the PC or internet.

9. Productivity gains from AI are appearing in many of the same fields where entry-level jobs are declining.

10. AI's environmental footprint is growing fast. Data center power capacity now rivals New York state at peak demand.

11. AI models for science can outperform human scientists, though bigger models do not always perform better.

12. AI is transforming clinical care, but evidence is still thin. Only 5% of clinical AI studies use real patient data.

13. Formal education is lagging behind in AI, but people are learning AI skills at every stage of life.

14. AI sovereignty is shaping national policy worldwide. Open-source contributions outside the U.S. and Europe are rising fast.

15. AI experts and the public see AI very differently. 73% of experts expect positive job impact vs. just 23% of the public.
