I write about both companies (briefly) in the book. I've noticed in the comments I get from readers that people still feel very tenderly towards Google, remembering that incredible sense of idealism they instilled in so many of us when

I didn't want to be seen as trying to co-opt Cory's thesis or (very memorable) phrase. His critique is more focused on the tech industry and its particular illness at this time. I wanted a word that was much broader, capturing how

I want to distinguish between a mission and a mission statement. I will not help you wordsmith your mission statement. I frankly don't think it matters. But a great mission generally combines three things: 1. a long-term commitment to

Yes. In the book, I do my best to explain how our current for-profit and non-profit labels don't really make sense, and that therefore these issues are pervasive in society (public/private sector has similar issues, as I discuss i

I won't sugar-coat this, for many companies this will be extremely difficult. but, as I wrote about it my previous book, sometimes conditions conspire to make radical transformation possible. it usually takes a crisis or an extremely b

For those that want to go deeper with _Incorruptible_, I've spent the past few months doing hundreds of interviews and events discussing its various themes and topics. I'm having Claude Code summarize this progress along the way a

Thanks for the assumption of good faith. We had no intent to astroturf. Some of the students from cohort one were discussing the negativity of the HN thread on the course discord server. It seems that several took it upon themselves to come

Jeremy attempted a summary here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45456928 but, honestly, I hope that list makes you see why we had a hard time figuring out how to summarize what solveit is. For example, I use it for re

I think if you give it a try, you'll be surprised. It is a course and a tool and a way of thinking. We often struggle to find concise language to describe something that is fundamentally new. Maybe after you've tried it, you'

I thought it might be helpful to post a link to one of my favorite writeups from the beta cohort for solveit (last year). It's written by Chris Thomas: https://christhomas.co.uk/blog/2025/09/24/the-h

Hey everyone, Eric Ries here. solveit is the AI environment I personally have been using every day for months, not just for code but for writing and research, too. it’s solved all the problems and frustrations I’ve had with both vibecoding

I've never been a big fan of patents as they've historically applied to software. But this is a public policy issue, not something an individual company can fix. So I've always been content to follow patent best practices, ev

Well, considering we only just started, we haven't encountered any average workdays yet. I still hold out hope, though, that one day we will.

Prescient, really. Almost all of us knowledge workers today work in factories where the production lines are invisible. It's why we struggle so much with concepts (like work-in-progres inventory or product development flow) that are re

As some of you probably know, I spent a number of years working with GE, which included plenty of time at the legendary GE Research lab in Niskayuna. So it was a special thrill to see this piece connecting Answer.AI to the long history of R

Sure, just some ideas at random, but the most important advice is just to try new things and see what feels good: - dashboards or other reports that call you when something changes, so you don't have to log in to see what's change

I expect quite a bit of partnering to make sense, though nothing concrete to share at this time. We explicitly designed this to be non-competitive with the best companies in the field (who have the things they do well covered).

I was going to link to Polis after I read the first part of your answer, but I see you’ve beaten me to it. And in so doing you’ve pretty much answered your own question. Thanks!

Very hard to guess how it might all shake out. I would say that both Jeremy and I have an almost fanatical belief in the power of uncredentialed outsiders. So I would guess we will be more looking for curious open-minded generalists more th
