"One of the coolest parts of my job is that I get to talk to really smart people who are building products and companies based on the thoughts in their head. Sometimes, I write long essays on these people and their companies. Typically, the easiest way to get their ideas out into the world is by going on a podcast and yapping for an hour."
"But there are a lot of ideas that deserve more than a passing mention on a podcast and less than a 10k word deep dive, and that are better expressed by the person whose idea it is than by me once-removed. So I'm playing around with different ways to host those ideas, starting by co-writing an essay with Anjan Katta, the founder of Daylight Computer, on something he mentioned in passing when we were texting over the weekend."
"I highly recommend his conversation with Jackson Dahl on Dialectic, the video he did with Jason Carman last year, and the conversation he had with Mario Gabriele and his mentor / computer legend Alan Kay. I will also say that while I'm not an investor in Daylight, I bought one and I use it every day, and if you're thinking of a Christmas gift for your favorite nerd... ."
A new series will co-write essays with founders to present ideas that fall between a brief podcast mention and a 10,000-word deep dive. The first collaboration is with Anjan Katta, founder of Daylight Computer, centered on an idea mentioned during weekend texts. Anjan Katta's prior conversations and videos are recommended for further context. A Daylight device is noted as being used daily and suggested as a gift, with an explicit statement of no investment stake. The broader startup backdrop includes faster revenue growth, larger rounds and funds, and rising capital burn across categories. SVB's State of the Markets is referenced as relevant.
