• I just interviewed Steve Blank for @startupspod. We focused on how AI is causing founders to build more while learning less. One line that stuck with me about founders building too much, too quickly due to vibe coding: “Polished deliverables hid shallow assumptions.” You can't just build because it's fast and easy. You need to be learning and checking your assumptions before (and while) building. His famous quote, “There are no facts inside the building,” is as true today as ever. This episode will be out in a couple weeks.
