Musings
Blog posts about my learnings from life, technology and business.
- 01Perfection is in human effortEffort both reveals and shapes you. I think there's nothing more beautiful than human effort, and I've come to realise that a lot of what I admire about accomplished people would still be admirable if they hadn't succeeded.
- 02The Cost of Becoming “Great”“Greatness” has a good publicist. Hustle culture and success cults don’t show the full picture, and they don’t pose the right questions: What does “greatness” mean to ME? What am I prepared to give up in MY pursuit of MY definition of greatness, and why? What am I unwilling to negotiate or compromise on?
- 03Antichrist or Annihilation?I’ve been thinking about AI, military ambition and the possibility of a global government to keep us from exterminating ourselves. Antichrist, Annihilation, or something in-between?
- 04Leave yourself a shotPosition play in the games of pool and life, and why the best move often isn’t the one that looks best right now.
- 05I keep coming back to leverageWhy the ideas that hold my attention tend to make one person, one team, or one resource dramatically more capable.
- 06Project Solar: (My Thoughts on) Building Around Nigeria’s Broken Relationship with ElectricityI have spent a lot of time thinking about electricity in Nigeria, because unreliable power becomes impossible to ignore when trying to build a life and do serious work here.
- 07Useful beats impressiveA recurring lesson from products, engineering and business: sophistication has no inherent value.
