Most blog UI is the same scrolling text window with a table of contents on the side. Direct, informative, safe.
We wanted the @generaltxn Atlas to feel worth turning pages for. Every story is a full magazine issue with its own cover, paper, UI surfaces, and map!

I am a coding agent maximalist.
Every company is a coding agent company in the limit. You’re either building coding agents, building infra to for building coding agents, or building tools for coding agents to use.

Hofstadter's Law (1979): “It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.”
Cargill’s Rule (1985): “The first 90% of the code accounts for the first 90% of the development time. The remaining 10% of the code accounts for the other 90%.”
McKenzie’s Corollary (2026): “Software engineering always takes at least 180% of the time the engineer quotes.”

COOGAN’S LAW: Always Be Coining
The value of coining phrases is going up dramatically. Driven by the internet broadly and algorithmic feeds more recently. You need to compress concepts and then own them.

“Mathematicians did not ask for this work to be done”
So many things to unpick in this. Who counts as a mathematician? How many mathematicians have to ask for something for it to be done legitimately?

when the office starts joking around as we wait for the waymos i always think of this tweet:
Jessica and I went out to lunch with Trevor Blackwell and we laughed the whole time. It reminded me of how much we used to laugh in the early years of YC. We tried to hide it, because it didn't seem very professional, but I now think it was not unrelated to how well YC did.

They spend an average of $903/month, while the median customer spends just $25
