Hello Folks, writing this from Amritsar, the heart of Punjab. I am here for a short trip, loved the vibe, kindness, and of course food here.
Based on the feedback from some of the readers, I will make this newsletter shorter by splitting the essay, curation (articles, podcast), and tweets in three different newsletter edition. Itβs another experiment, letβs see how it goes, I would love to hear your thoughts on this ππ½
Β π¦ Curated Tweets πΒ Β
I spend a lot of time on Twitter, I love to curate tweets so sharing a few gems here with you.
I scroll, so you don't have to!
Let's dive in:
#1 Β π
ChatGPT has a bare minimum UI, it defies most of the common wisdom that tech bro teaches these days. Yet it reached 1 million active users in 1 week!! As Paul Graham says, βMake something that people wantβ, if product is actually useful then distribution wonβt be a major issue.
#2 Β π

#3Β π
Loved this take! Ask yourself - How many times did you say NO to a meeting and went for a deep work? Did you try design explorations or just went with your first idea?
#4Β π
If you want to better understand yourself, go start a business. Let me give you an easy goal - Try earning 1$ on the Internet (It will teach you 10x more than your full-time job, I bet)
#5Β π
What is Art π
P.S. -Β Hit reply with your favorite tweet!
Did you enjoy reading this newsletter?
Have a chill week ahead π«Άπ½,

I loved these! Especially #2 and #5.
Each of the five (except for maybe #4) highlight to me a simplified and contrarian view. #4 is absolutely true. I have learned so much from trying to start a two-pronged business.
