Writing good software is like being able to forge a sword. Very useful skill. But most of the value is in knowing how and where to swing it (and when to sheathe too). The best tech companies are focused on fighting a war and putting together a team of swordsmen to win. A big % of…
Big personal news!
After a remarkable 18mos at Menlo Ventures, I'm excited to announce that perhaps against better judgement, they have decided to make me a Partner at the firm.
Wild that just 6yrs ago, I'd be up at 2am debugging Google Search.
A little bit about my journey:
I was lucky to work in both China and the US LLM labs, and I've been thinking this for a while. The current values of pretraining are indeed different:
US labs be like:
- lots of GPUs and much larger flops run
- Treating stabilities more seriously, and could not tolerate spikes…

Talent for training and finetuning models is rare.
Most of the colleges are taught Full-stack development fundamentals.
There is huge opportunity upcoming for training and finetuning models, whereas a decreasing opportunity for coding backend and frontend.
Right...haven't been able to talk about this, but GPT-5 has been phenomenal. I tried it for everything from one-shotting Twitter-like frontends, making a kanban style CRM, making a 2D spiderman web swinging game, allowing me to add sprites + much more.
