Design— Adam walks us through the forest of design thinking, from web aesthetics to optimization hell, and how stepping away from the screen might save us from designing the same thing as everyone else. Are we moving towards a future with fewer apps and more voice interfaces? fresh from Figma dinners and deep thoughts about Teenage Engineering's playful approach versus Duolingo's 1000-experiment optimization maze. Last but not least, we're exploring the intimate art of designing apps for your friends instead of chasing that elusive billion-user dream. Oh, stay tuned from Erics journey into SF and Los Angeles and his latest updates on the cracked developers of the Bay area.

**Unsell**— Eric's chasing dreams at 30,000 feet while we're diving into prediction markets and the election: Polymarket, PredictIt, Kalshi, and why FiveThirtyEight who came out winning? Tim Ferriss getting all he's news and media from 10 trusted friends and Madusha's building Outpost to summarise all your community notifications into one single email. We're talking CoffeeSpace a Hinge to find your next co-founder and startup romance.

Last but not least we're talking about Kevin Yiens manifesto on the art of unselling email for recruitment, and perhaps we can evolve the unsell mechanism for different aspects of our life?

Unsell me this pen, stay catching waves 🌊

**Brainrot**— maximizing returns with open source investments, turn every PDF into brainrot content and what are actually people consuming out there?

Are co-pilots everything in the future we're heading towards? From coding to hobbies, we're exploring if this is the cultural reset we've been waiting for, or if we're just optimizing the joy out of life. Big changes are incoming, and your weekend project might just get an AI sidekick.

Bruno dives deep into the note-taking and Obsidian rabbit hole with Andy Matuschak's evergreen philosophy. Are we building cathedrals of knowledge or just stacking bricks of fleeting thoughts? From daily brain dumps to crystallized ideas, we're exploring the evolution of note-taking, journaling, and gathering ideas.

Are we heading into an agents vs. co-pilot future, and are we switching from the classic seats SaaS model to the getting tasks done model? Gen-AI investments spiked in Q3 2024 while we live in an MVP and prototype world.

**Bureaucracy**— We're joined by NotebookLM and the biggest fans of Wave radio. Eric getting downvoted to oblivion on Reddit for his 18 observations around Cursor and AI development. A grand discussion around brand design and if it's reversely engineerable like an equation if it's dead, or at least if there are big changes coming up. The public opinion on crypto & blockchain, and finding Satoshi Nakamoto, and what stories really are media worthy, and last but not least founder mode vs bureaucrat mode, the CIA manual on disrupting activist groups, that largely explains why we're having meetings.

Dinner—Time's ticking, so let's dig in. We're kicking off with "Time Left", the app that's got everyone pondering their mortality. Is this the wake-up call we all needed or is just another reason to procrastinate?

Next up: the AI revolution in internal tools. Are we all about to become low-code wizards? Klarna's bold move to ditch Salesforce has us wondering—is this the beginning of the end for traditional CRMs?

For dessert, we're serving up some spicy tech roasts. On the menu: an ADHD accountability tool for cleaning your room. Because nothing says "adult" like needing an app to remind you to pick up your socks.

What's the latest stack to build a company/software as a solo engineer, and what are the pros and cons of external capital? Hands-on approach to launching niched apps with simple design when it comes to geography, language, and target audience to stand out.

Simplicity—we're stripping it down to the essentials today. Founder mode vs. manager mindset based on our Twitter, who are we? We're diving deep into radical simplicity—have engineers gone too far with complexity for complexity's sake? Time to bring it back to the customers, and perhaps build products with 1m users using Google Sheets as your backend, shoutout levels.fyi Snapchat Spectacles are back in the wild, and Jebroni Capital may or may not be a hostage. Last but not least we're trying to be Marques Brownlee and a hands-on review of the new iPhone 16.
