Jason says he's 'no longer ambitious' but somehow amassed 50k followers by being aggressively chill, it's like watching someone win a race while politely refusing the medal.

A brutally honest mental-health tweet that hit 2.3M+ views and 43k likes, sparking wide conversation and significantly growing his audience while cementing his reputation as a candid, relatable voice in tech.

To create genuine connections between people in tech and everyday life: normalizing vulnerability, sharing useful practice, and building small rituals (sports, pottery, shared meals) that help communities stick together and ship better work.

Jason values authenticity over polish, curiosity over certainty, and generosity over gatekeeping. He believes that craft and community amplify each other, that mental health is core to sustainable creativity, and that practical, lived advice beats abstract pontification.

Exceptional at turning personal, relatable moments into high-engagement posts; credible tech background (OpenAI + a16z) gives weight; consistent output and a friendly voice that invites replies and collaboration.

Can spread attention across too many topics (tech, mental health, hobbies), risking mixed signals; prone to self-deprecating detachment that can undermine momentum; high posting volume may lead to audience fatigue without clear hooks.

Turn viral sparks into repeatable formats: (1) Create 2, 3 staple threads, e.g., mental-health micro-practices, coding-interview feels with concrete takeaways, and 'how I make friends' playbooks, and pin one. (2) Use Spaces/AMA sessions and short video clips showing BJJ/pottery/curry to humanize the brand. (3) Prompt followers to reply with stories (use polls) and stitch top replies into follow-up threads. (4) Collaborate with a16z founders and DX folks for co-hosted threads/Spaces. (5) Post fewer, higher-signal threads per week and repurpose them into decks/newsletters to turn attention into a durable audience.

Fun fact: he does BJJ, throws pottery, and literally brings Japanese curry katsu to the studio, proof he networks with a rice spoon as well as a handshake. Also: ~50.3k followers, 33,569 tweets, and one mental-health tweet that got 2.3M+ views.

genuinely the coolest blog ever: ampcode.com/how-to-build-a… sending this to an agent to make your first agent is nuts

In Claude Code, the difference between using planning mode and actually spending 15 minutes to plan with the agent in a plan.md file results in a task that runs in 15 minutes vs a task that can run for about an hour without intervention.

I’ve recently joined @openai to work with @romainhuet on @OpenAIDevs Now is the year of dogged pursuits But Back in 2021 i thought my technical career was over. I had chronic hand pain in both my hands and could barely tie my shoes let alone use my phone or write code. I spent a few years not thinking about what it mean for the value of my labor to go zero but to not being able to produce any labor at all… I gave up bjj. Pottery. Tech. Etc. Then, that one company that solved dota and hide and seek released chatgpt and whisper and all of a sudden with dictation and some determination I could write essays, build things, and make a living from twitter meeting great people like @eugeneyalt @dmdohan @humford @GEVS94 for my reintegration into the tech world after so many years away. From Canada advised companies for free until I had to ask them to pay me. I charged companies until I figured out pricing and asked for enough that I became an investor as well. I started a consulting business and a course business. Learning alongside @HamelHusain and @vig_xyz But through that time I learned a lot about running a business and felt like I’d stopping learning about everything else. I realized that last summer that I wanted to wrap things up and go somewhere and just get involved and be at the center of it all.
