Welcome to po.gy
THIS IS A COLLECTION OF INFORMATION, ARTICLES,
AND GENERAL THINGS THAT I FIND OF INTEREST.
Artificial Intelligence
Perplexity, ChatGPT, Apple Intelligence, and oh so much more. Changing so fast that you cannot capture a single snapshot that is not ridiculously out of date immediately.
Bootstrapping/Hyper-efficient capital usage for startups. Following the groups/individuals on IndieHackers.com - following and working on new ways that individuals can rapidily and inexpensively iterate on product development, working to achieve product/market fit with the minimal amount of capital required.
I'm an active mentor with Capital Factory and groups. Finding efficient ways to mentor, communicate and track has been key. Also interested in scaling mentorship within companies, following Janice Omadeke and others in the space.
Climate Change
Tracking new and innovative companies who are tackling climate change, this article from Vinod Khosla dives deep and highlights the need for "instigators".

Quantum Computing
I am especially focused on how quantum computing will affect industries and existing companies/verticals/countries. While Machine Learning is akin to having a thousand interns working on a problem, and Artificial Intelligence is having a single very smart intern working on a problem, quantum computing will be like having every person simultaneously working on the same problem and dealing with the quintillions of potential impacts, immediately.
