Some folks who I appreciate/admire/a little bit jealous of/learn from for their skills online. Also, just fun people to follow.

If you’re getting into creating content online, you can learn from all of these folks. 👇

1. @APompliano and @JoePompliano. Everyone knows “bitcoin never sleeps” Pomp but Joe has gone from 0 to 77k followers in a few short months. They’re the Hemsworths of social media ( and have more brothers waiting!)
2. @abarrallen has gone from Uber exec to co-founder of Fast and you’ll learn a ton on how to do consistent/simple branding by reading her tweets. Fast!
3. @david_perell is someone I came across for his writing a while ago and his output/understanding of online writing and how to help others get there is stunning. He’s a star.
4. @lennysan for probably having the best newsletter+community for product people now.
5. @KTmBoyle for having a very unique perspective on VC/journalism and can channel perspectives from working on wildly different spaces.
6. @devonzuegel for being very close to an ideal Twitter account in terms of posting something new/thought provoking all the time.
7. @michael_nielsen for maybe being the smartest person I follow.
8. Actually @LauraDeming may be the smartest person I follow. Her posts+writing are worth poring over. Highly recommend reading through the archives/written output of all three of these folks at your leisure.
9. @benthompson. Look Ben is annoying for his Bucks takes but let’s overlook that. 🙂. The real secret to Stratechery is he writes every single day. It’s why few people can compete with him.
10. @patrick_oshag for his podcasts. His combination of depth and breadth is unparalleled.
11. @ballmatthew for writing *the* reference pieces for multiple trends and phenomenon. His Metaverse piece may be his magnum opus but his Disney piece is still my favorite. He’s a Marvel fan over DC but no one is perfect.
12. @ArtirKel I have no idea how he manages to write a) so much and b) on spaces I assume need years of study on. His Longevity FAQ is an inspiration.
( to be continued...).

Some of these folks are friends I’ve known a long time and some I’ve never met in person. They’re all awesome and worth your time.
13. @sarthakgh I remember wondering a couple of years ago “who is this guy who’s consistently the most thoughtful person in many a twitter thread”. Sar understands the tech industry better than most people here.
14. @HarryStebbings how does someone from the other side of the Atlantic/with no background in the industry build the dominant podcast in tech? Harry’s work ethic, understanding of tech, content is unparalleled. His courage and vulnerability online are worth learning from too.
15. @trengriffin might know me the longest here and is a friend my MSFT days. He has been famous inside MSFT forever (is “Litebulb” still a thing?) for his writing and it’s a delight to see his work now in public these last few years.
16. @jacksondahl and @blakeir - I’m going to mention them both together for I’ve learned so much about gaming and online culture from their work.
17. @tylercowen it’s Tyler Cowen. What more is there to say? Self-recommending.
18. @patio11 anyone who has any amount of time on HN knows who he is. The scope and volume of his writing along with his popularity with developers is amazing.
19. I feel like I’ve followed @shanselman since my school years. Might be the single most trusted voice in the Microsoft developer ecosystem and such a kind/warm human being.

क्या आप जानते हैं कि क्या है, पितृ पक्ष में कौवे को खाना देने के पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण!

श्राद्ध पक्ष में कौओं का बड़ा ही महत्व है। कहते है कौआ यम का प्रतीक है, यदि आपके हाथों दिया गया भोजन ग्रहण कर ले, तो ऐसा माना जाता है कि पितरों की कृपा आपके ऊपर है और वे आपसे ख़ुश है।


कुछ लोग कहते हैं की व्यक्ति मरकर सबसे पहले कौवे के रूप में जन्म लेता है और उसे खाना खिलाने से वह भोजन पितरों को मिलता है

शायद हम सबने अपने घर के किसी बड़े बुज़ुर्ग, किसी पंडित या ज्योतिषाचार्य से ये सुना होगा। वे अनगिनत किस्से सुनाएंगे, कहेंगे बड़े बुज़ुर्ग कह गए इसीलिए ऐसा करना

शायद ही हमें कोई इसके पीछे का वैज्ञानिक कारण बता सके।

हमारे ऋषि मुनि और पौराणिक काल में रहने वाले लोग मुर्ख नहीं थे! कभी सोचियेगा कौवों को पितृ पक्ष में खिलाई खीर हमारे पूर्वजों तक कैसे पहुंचेगी?

हमारे ऋषि मुनि विद्वान थे, वे जो बात करते या कहते थे उसके पीछे कोई न कोई वैज्ञानिक कारण छुपा होता था।

एक बहुत रोचक तथ्य है पितृ पक्ष, भादो( भाद्रपद) प्रकृति और काक के बीच।

एक बात जो कह सकते कि हम सब ने स्वतः उग आये पीपल या बरगद का पेड़/ पौधा किसी न किसी दीवार, पुरानी

इमारत, पर्वत या अट्टालिकाओं पर ज़रूर देखा होगा। देखा है न?

ज़रा सोचिये पीपल या बरगद की बीज कैसे पहुंचे होंगे वहाँ तक? इनके बीज इतने हल्के भी नहीं होते के हवा उन्हें उड़ाके ले जा सके।
1/ Here’s a list of conversational frameworks I’ve picked up that have been helpful.

Please add your own.

2/ The Magic Question: "What would need to be true for you


3/ On evaluating where someone’s head is at regarding a topic they are being wishy-washy about or delaying.

“Gun to the head—what would you decide now?”

“Fast forward 6 months after your sabbatical--how would you decide: what criteria is most important to you?”

4/ Other Q’s re: decisions:

“Putting aside a list of pros/cons, what’s the *one* reason you’re doing this?” “Why is that the most important reason?”

“What’s end-game here?”

“What does success look like in a world where you pick that path?”

5/ When listening, after empathizing, and wanting to help them make their own decisions without imposing your world view:

“What would the best version of yourself do”?
