“In venture capital you can't really build a brand or reputation on performance. You can't advertise competence via returns. It just takes too long... Instead, VCs have to cultivate brands for themselves and their firms through omnipresence: they and their takes have to be everywhere always... Venture capitalists need to look smart because it's impossible to prove they're smart. Perception, not returns, is reality.”

“Git was built for scarce, human-written code. Whatever replaces it will be built for abundance.”

“Everything on the internet is fake. Content, identities, credentials. Systems that assumed human-scale production and human-verifiable authenticity stop working.”
