Finally caught @HarryStebbings interview w/ @glencoates. It’s worth it. It’s humbling to work with Glen, in the best possible way. He does the hard things right, every once in a while he puts the fear of god in me, and he’s a hero to everyone at Shopify.

If you are in the bin-biotech startup world, this reads like a trip to another planet. Highly recommend reading this:

PSA: @nayafia’s book Working in Public: the making and maintenance of open source software is 1) really good, 2) it’s about way more than software; it’s about the future

When people in tech want to sound smart, one name you can drop is Carlota Perez. Her book Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital is a rare accomplishment: it’s a top-down “grand theory” book about the innovation economy, written by an academic rather than an on-the-ground practitioner, that actually gets things right. Read it alongside Bill Janeway’s Doing Capitalism in the Innovation Economy, the number one book that’s most influenced my own thinking.
