a great cold email can change your life
my last 3 jobs came from cold email
here's how:
You can cold email nearly anyone, but nearly everyone overlooks how powerful it can be.
Sending one email each week that feels like a stretch can change your life. Will you get turned down? Sure, most of the time. But you only need one to pay off for something amazing to happen.
Take your time, write a thoughtful message, and muster the courage to press Send.

Last year, I left my Amazon promotion and was stuck in pivot hell for months. Today, I'm excited to announce @obia_cre has joined @ycombinator's F26 batch.
Obia is an AI-native commercial real estate brokerage for industrial and office. Every business needs a place to operate, and finding a space that actually works shouldn't take months.
Right now, it does. Listings tell you what's available, but not whether you can actually run your business there or if it makes sense to do so.
Human brokers spend hours analyzing a single property. Obia analyzes hundreds of properties in minutes: whether your business can legally and physically operate in each one, and which one fits you best.
In the last 22 days, we closed $1.05M in lease value, with some of our clients moving in as fast as 2 weeks.
Now, we're live in all of California. If your business needs industrial or office space, or you know a business that does, send me a DM or an email to [email protected]!
We're happy to pay a referral fee for intros. And, if you're a landlord with space to fill, we'd love to talk!
P.S. Our service is free for tenants :)

"Nearly one-third of respondents (32 percent) report that their organizations have decided against purchasing at least one software product or feature because they were able to build the functionality in-house using agentic coding tools." - McKinsey & Company
Asked Grok where he'd want to live if he was a person
Grok's rationale:
• Highest preference goes to places with dense research communities, reliable energy/compute, high trust, and low friction for long-horizon work.
• That means Bay Area + Austin (frontier AI/hardware), Boston (science), Zurich (precision + stability), Singapore (efficient scale), Tokyo (manufacturing), and parts of Northern Europe.
• Everywhere else ranks lower mainly on practical constraints (infrastructure, capacity, volatility) not judgment.

if you're trying to break into tech, you need to read this article:
"Anyone can learn to write, but no one wants to because they know it takes a long time to perfect and it requires a LOT of time and effort. For the majority, it’s BORING.
So what does that mean, exactly? Oh yes, I remember now. It's even more of an advantage for the writers currently working in the tech industry."
no better way to demonstrate your value than by writing. clear writing is clear thinking.
are you spending your best years chasing a life you could start living today?
stop chasing. start living.
