📚 3 Good Recommendations
Knowledge creates technical debt
by Luke Plant (3 mins)
Summary: The article reframes technical debt as a natural outcome of learning. When developers gain new knowledge or discover better ways to build software, existing code becomes outdated — not because of poor choices, but because understanding has evolved. The “debt” represents the gap between old and new knowledge.
Ideal for: Engineers, product managers, and technical leaders who want to communicate the value of addressing technical debt as a strategic investment rather than a burden or failure.
Why It’s Worth Your Time: It offers a refreshing perspective on technical debt, showing how learning creates opportunities for improvement. By treating technical debt as an investment in applying new knowledge, teams can make more thoughtful, value-driven decisions about when and how to refactor code.
The CEO Test: A Powerful Tool for Life
by Sahil Bloom (2 mins)
Summary: The essay uses Intel’s 1985 pivot as a metaphor for personal growth, showing how Andy Grove and Gordon Moore reframed their company’s crisis by asking, “What would a new CEO do?” The same question, applied to life, helps individuals gain clarity, cut inefficiencies, and act decisively without emotional baggage.
Ideal for: Entrepreneurs, professionals, and creators who feel stuck or emotionally attached to old habits and want to adopt a fresh, strategic, and action-oriented mindset to lead their own lives.
Why It’s Worth Your Time: It offers a simple yet transformative framework—treating yourself as the “CEO of your life”—to encourage self-awareness, decisive action, and personal reinvention rooted in clarity rather than fear or inertia.
Andrej Karpathy — AGI is still a decade away
by Dwarkesh Patel and Andrej Karpathy (146 mins)
Summary: Andrej Karpathy discusses the current limitations of AI systems, explaining that today’s models are “ghosts,” not “animals.” They imitate human behavior through large-scale data rather than evolving innate intelligence. While progress in building true AI agents continues, it will likely take a decade to develop systems capable of learning, reasoning, and acting autonomously.
Ideal for: AI enthusiasts, engineers, and founders interested in understanding the deeper philosophical and technical distinctions between current AI models and future intelligent systems.
Why It’s Worth Your Time: Offers a grounded perspective from one of the field’s leading thinkers, reframing AI progress as a long-term cognitive engineering challenge rather than a scaling race—reminding readers that the path to true intelligence is evolution, not imitation.
