Happy Friday 👋

What’s up? 📗

Last month I finished Simon Sinek’s Leaders Eat Last and this week I published my notes on the usual place.

This is a book about why we need great leadership, what it looks like, and how we suffer without it. It's only indirectly about how to be a good leader, but the first principles are all here: leaders go first and, after great leadership, incredible things will follow.

In other news, this just happened:

We are almost on the 1st birthday of this newsletter and, for the first time, I’m sending it to more than 100 people.

And now, on to the best things I found on the Internet this week.

Don’t Forget How Small They Are | 1 min read

🥰 From one of my favorite newsletters, The Daily Dad, comes the weekly reminder of how being a dad(I assume this works just as well for moms) occupies a larger chunk of “the most important things in our lives” than we usually think.

The Financial Turing Test | 4 min read

💸 Turing tests are designed to assert if you are in the presence of a true AI. Financial Turing tests are similar, in which they help you assert if you are in the presence of an expert in finance or a charlatan. Now, if you had only one question to assert if someone knew what they were talking about finance what would you ask? What about your favorite topic?

The Architecture Behind A One-Person Tech Startup | 24 min read

💾 If you work with software you’ll love some part of this article. It’s the ultimate jigsaw puzzle of connecting pieces of infrastructure and services to support a web analytics platform. It’s also a reminder that you can go very, very far, with just a fraction of the complexity.

Please help me grow this newsletter! I’d love if you shared it with your more curious friends.
