I had been meaning to write up a longer piece about Simon Willison’s appearance with Lenny 🖇️other than this one - and now no need - Simon did it himself.
🔗 Highlights from my conversation about agentic engineering on Lenny’s Podcast
🔗 What are the odds of Apple surviving? – Asymco
Fascinating review of the absolute uniqueness of Apple in the world of business.
🔗 All the letters | Seth’s Blog
But if you start out with the same letters as everyone else, don’t spend a lot of time admiring your letters. It’s the words that matter.
Every writer has all of them. 26 in most Western languages. But no writer knows all the words.

Click on other - you get to enter 5 bucks.
🔗 Asymco Bulletin 006 – Mar 28, 2026

🔗 Long odds and unseen differences - Seth
Buy the best story you can afford, with all the benefits it comes with. But don’t be confused by the odds or tiny differences. They’re probably zero.
… always like JP’s posts - even the cricket ones. (This is not about cricket.)
🔗 John Battelle’s Search Blog Product, Platform, Interface, Medium, Language: What Is AI?
