Stop Pursuing Infinite Growth! Jason Fried's Art of "Non-Expansion" Operating Principles

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 11:00:00 +0800

Do you ever get the feeling that society is constantly telling us to be “bigger, more, and better”? Whether it’s running a company or building a personal brand, everyone seems trapped on that “hockey stick curve” that demands straight-up takeoff—like a treadmill accelerating infinitely until we’re exhausted.

But what if you chose to stop at a place that was “already good enough”?

This is the “non-expansion” strategy advocated by 37signals founder Jason Fried. This isn’t just about making money; it’s about how to take back control of your life.

1. Find Your Comfortable Orbit, Don’t Be Fooled by the “Hockey Stick Curve”

The narrative Silicon Valley is most obsessed with is the “hockey stick curve,” which starts flat and then erupts vertically. For Jason Fried

This is not growth, but a loss of control.

He compares entrepreneurship to “launching a rocket”:

Stage	Description
Breaking Gravity Stage	The early days of a startup do require burning massive energy to break through the pressures of survival and costs.
Entering Orbit Stage	Once you make more than you spend, you’ve entered “orbit.”

In orbit, “maintaining quality” is far more important than blind acceleration.

If your company gets twice as big, but loses the very qualities that made it wonderful in the first place, so what?

2. Optimize the “Craft,” That’s Your Pride in the Work

Jason Fried opposes what he calls “boring optimization.” Simply A/B testing like crazy to improve conversion rates by a fraction of a percent or fine-tuning button colors is, to him, boring beyond belief!

What he advocates instead is “interesting optimization”: focusing on making the product easier to use, simpler, and more elegant. The operating metric shouldn’t be the numbers on a spreadsheet, but rather

“When I wake up tomorrow, do I still want to do the exact same thing again?”

When you are proud of your work, the product will naturally generate its own attraction.

3. Your Only Competitor Is Your “Cost”

Fixating on competitors will only result in building copycat products. In contrast, Jason Fried believes the core of business is exceedingly simple:

As long as you make more than you spend, you survive.

He emphasizes the need for “The Blubber”: a company shouldn’t run so lean it’s bone-thin, but should maintain a financial buffer.

This layer of “blubber” kept them completely safe during the financial crisis and the pandemic.

“We take risks, but we never put ourselves in jeopardy.”

4. The Aesthetic of “Just Enough”: The Wisdom of Closing When Sold Out

This is a beautiful concept. There is a sandwich shop in Chicago that uses fresh bread daily and closes its doors the moment it sells out (usually by 2:30 PM). The owner refuses to use day-old bread just to make a little extra money, because

“It’s not worth selling food that you aren’t proud of.”

This aesthetic of “just enough” allows operators to find a long-term balance between their profession and their life, preventing business from swallowing up their entire existence.

5. Focus on the Core “Hot Dog,” Leverage the “Byproducts”

If you remove a certain feature and your product ceases to exist, then that is your “hot dog.”

Method	Description
Subtract First	Resource constraints can actually be an advantage that forces creativity. It’s better to build half a great product than a half-baked complete one.
Leverage Byproducts	The “leftovers” generated while polishing your core product can also be translated into value. Just as 37signals compiled their management experiences into the book “Rework,” or turned leftover materials into a compelling free newsletter.

6. Make Decisions Like a Squirrel Crossing a Lawn

“Planning is guessing”

When you are making long-term plans, it’s often the exact moment you have the least information.

Rather than falling into “analysis paralysis” over a grand plan, it’s better to act like a squirrel crossing a lawn:

Run a distance, stop to observe, correct your course, and run again.

Break progress down into small decisions measured in “days.” If you run in the wrong direction, your losses are limited strictly to that single day, which keeps you motivated to keep pushing forward.

Conclusion: Regaining Control Is the Ultimate Success

Abandon the blind worship of that “hockey stick curve” and spend your energy taking back control of your business and life.

If your work makes you feel that “if I stopped, the world would miss it,” and every single day you still have the motivation to keep running, then that is the ultimate success.

You don’t necessarily have to change the world; as long as you make your customers feel their lives are a little better, that is incredibly meaningful.

The Era of Vibe Coding: Naval Ravikant on How AI is Reshaping Software Development, Entrepreneurship, and Learning

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 12:20:00 +0800

Facing increasingly powerful AI, have you ever felt anxious and worried that your job might be replaced?

Naval Ravikant tells us that the only solution to anxiety is action. Is AI a threat, or is it a “magic wand” that elevates human capabilities?

Vibe Coding Overturns Product Development

Naval proposes a very interesting concept: Vibe Coding.

Software development today is no longer about typing code line by line, but about using natural language (such as Claude Code and other tools) to describe your ideas, logic, and ‘vibe’, leaving the remaining end-to-end development work to AI.

This means that small software companies that provided niche services in the intermediary layers will face a massive survival crisis. The market will polarize: on one side are super Apps providing infrastructure like Google and Apple (e.g., the code editor itself becomes a super browser), and on the other side are countless micro Apps focusing on extreme niches and long-tail markets. If you are still making “mediocre” software, you really need to be careful.

The “Extreme Leverage” of Software Engineers

Many people worry that coding will “die,” but Naval has the exact opposite view. Although AI can handle most standard code, it still struggles with deep, complex “Leaky Abstractions” or entirely new problems that have never appeared before.

AI is that powerful “magic wand,” and the engineer who understands the underlying architecture and can patch vulnerabilities is the “wizard.”

Traditional engineers armed with AI assistance won’t just see linear productivity growth; rather, they will gain 10x or even 100x extreme leverage.

This is not unemployment, but a true evolution of superpowers.

The “Extreme Agency” of Entrepreneurs

Why can’t AI replace entrepreneurs?

Naval believes that while AI possesses knowledge, it lacks true desire, survival instinct, and the judgment to decide “which problems are worth solving.”

Successful entrepreneurs possess a trait called “Extreme Agency.”

Entrepreneurs are not people who wait for orders; they will actively seek passion, define problems, and view AI as their most powerful ally, working with AI to conquer impossible tasks.

In the AI era, this intense desire of “wanting to accomplish something” is actually humanity’s scarcest and most valuable asset.

AI as a Personal Omnipotent Mentor

When it comes to learning, AI is simply a gift from above. It is an extremely patient dedicated mentor that can constantly change ways to explain the same concept.

It can precisely provide that “aha moment” explanation based on the boundaries of your knowledge.

If you are worried about AI’s “hallucinations” or biases, Naval suggests using multiple models (such as Claude, GPT, etc.) for cross-examination and fact-checking.

This is like establishing a personal board of advisors in your head, allowing you to constantly create “epiphany moments” at the edge of knowledge.

Deep Analysis: The Limitations of AI and Human Alpha

Although AI excels at creating conceptual abstractions through “massive data compression,” it fundamentally operates within a probabilistic model.

Naval points out that AI still lacks humanity’s “single-shot learning talent” and “raw creativity across vastly different domains.”

This intuition toward the physical world, true human desires, and uncharted territories is exactly the key for humans to continue generating excess returns (Alpha) in the zero-sum game market saturated with AI.

Conclusion: Choose to “Live in the Future”

Facing the AI era, rather than standing on the shore watching and fearing, it is better to jump directly into the wave. Naval’s advice is very simple:

Choose to live in the future and become an active early adopter.

Open the hood of technology to understand the underlying logic, and throttle this “motorcycle of the mind” called AI to the max. Once you learn how to harness this power, you will find

This is not an era of being replaced, but an unprecedented golden age of explosive human creativity.

The Dimensional Strike of The Art of War: How to Use Sun Tzu's 'Survival Algorithm' to Solve Modern Problems?

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 22:18:00 +0800

In this era full of competition and internal friction, do you often feel that your efforts yield no returns, or even the harder you try, the more anxious you get?

A long time ago, a “master strategist” already wrote the script on how to “survive and win beautifully” in a cruel world. It is The Art of War, which is often misunderstood as “exclusively for warfare.”

It is a top-tier survival manual that teaches you how to “stand in an invincible position” in the workplace, business, and life.

It is not just a military book, but a “survival algorithm” that can precisely solve 90% of real-world problems.

From “Winning Battles” to “Not Getting Beaten”: Where Does Your Confidence Come From?

Before launching any project or facing major life decisions, you must first undergo rigorous “calibration” through five dimensions. This is not only the opening of the military treatise, but also the fundamental framework of modern business competition.

The “Five Factors” mentioned by Sun Tzu include: Tao, Heaven, Earth, Commander, and Method.

Factor	Modern Interpretation	Application Example
Tao	Vision and Mission	Like Jack Ma’s “to make it easy to do business anywhere,” which unites the entire team.
Heaven	Timing and Trends	Doing live streaming ten years ago made you a “martyr,” while doing it now is “following the trend.”
Earth	Resources and Environment	Hangzhou’s e-commerce supply chain, cheap rent, and policy support are the strongest geographical advantages.
Commander	Core Talent	Leaders who possess wisdom, credibility, benevolence, courage, and strictness, or charismatic key figures.
Method	Systems and Distribution	“Clarify first, don’t fight later,” writing down profit distribution and rules in advance to avoid later internal friction.

If you are thinking of starting a business or launching a new project, ask yourself first: Have you taken stock of these five points?

If these five dimensions are not met simultaneously, rushing in blindly is like a headless fly. Failure is only a matter of time.

The Counter-Intuitive Winner’s Mindset: “Win First, Then Seek Battle”

A common saying in modern startup circles is “just build a random product first and iterate slowly (MVP),” but Sun Tzu’s view is clearly different.

“The victorious army achieves victory first and then seeks battle; the defeated army fights first and then seeks victory.”

Winners are completely running through all the details, crises, and stakes in their minds, entering the field only after they are certain of their winning chances;

Losers, on the other hand, first blindly rush into the battlefield (enter the market to start a business), and then try to grab a sliver of victory within the chaos.

This “awareness of cost” is the dividing line between ordinary people and strategists. If you cannot clearly see the massive cost you might pay behind an action, you cannot truly master the benefits within it.

The cost of entrepreneurship is too high. If your goal is just to seek profit, through investment or by being an excellent manager, it might be smarter than forcefully going to “fight a war.”

Invincibility Lies in Oneself, Victory Depends on the Enemy: Don’t Always Think About How to Win, First Think About How to “Not Lose”

Sun Tzu proposed an extremely counter-intuitive and cold view:

We cannot unilaterally and actively “win,” we can only ensure that we ourselves “do not lose.”

Viewpoint	Explanation
“Invincibility” lies in oneself	Through extreme self-discipline, continuous learning, and a positive mindset, you can cultivate yourself to a point where life and opponents cannot easily defeat you.
“Victory” depends on the enemy	True massive success often lies in when the opponent (competitors or the era’s environment) reveals flaws or exposes weaknesses.

The meaning of your efforts is to maintain an “invincible” state.

When that “weakness” appears, you then have the ability to quickly seize the opportunity and fight a turning-point battle.

True Masters Often Look “Very Ordinary”

We always admire heroes who save people from fire, but Sun Tzu tells us that true masters extinguish the fire before it even happens.

This is what is called “having no reputation for wisdom, and no merit for courage.”

Because masters always, when the danger is just a hint (in the sprouting stage), effortlessly resolve the problem through deep research of information and calm foresight.

Because they win too easily and too silently, nobody actually knows how formidable they are.

At work, the highest-level managers often look like they haven’t done anything because they eliminated hidden dangers early on where you couldn’t see them.

Flexible Action Decisions

If you really confront an enemy, Sun Tzu also provides a clear decision matrix:

Enemy vs. Us Strength Ratio	Strategy Suggestion
10:1	Surround and neutralize (direct encirclement)
5:1	Attack actively
2:1	Try to divide the enemy’s forces and defeat them one by one
Equally matched	Strive to find an entry point to “win by surprise”
Inferior to opponent	Decisively avoid battle or retreat

Learning to “avoid battle” is also a high-level strategy.

In a life full of games, don’t rush to confront things head-on. First, ask yourself:

Have I clearly calculated the “costs”?
Am I standing in an “invincible position”?

Conclusion

Simply put, The Art of War is not teaching you how to clash head-on with the world, but teaching you how to protect your downside and leverage momentum.

In a future full of uncertainties, maintaining the strictest awareness of cost and rational foresight is the greatest mercy you can have for your own life.

Rather than pursuing a hundred victories in a hundred battles, it is better to pursue “subduing the enemy’s troops without fighting.”

The next time you encounter a difficult problem, try analyzing the current situation using the “Five Factors.” You might find that the best path is not a “head-on duel” at all, but finding another safer way to win.

How to Get Rich Without Getting Lucky? Naval Ravikant's Principles on Wealth, Luck, and Leverage

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 10:54:20 +0800

Can you distinguish between “wealth”, “money”, and “status”? Many people think being rich means having a lot of cash or driving a luxury car to show off their status, but these are actually completely different concepts.

If you aspire to genuine financial freedom, no longer wanting to be awakened by an alarm clock every morning or squandering your life on a commute, then you must explore Silicon Valley legendary investor Naval Ravikant’s “algorithm for wealth”.

Getting rich is not about luck; it is a skill that can be learned!

The Four Pillars of Wealth: Building Your Own “System”

So why does Naval say getting rich can be independent of luck? In short, it is about building a “system” of your own.

1. Specific Knowledge

Specific knowledge is not what is taught in schools; things learned by rote can easily be replaced by AI or other people.

Specific knowledge is your innate curiosity and passion

Naval gave an example: for him, reading about science and microeconomics is his specific knowledge.

Practical Case	Description
Treating work like play	Think about something where others think you are working hard, but you feel like you are playing? It could be exceptional sales skills, an obsession with an obscure technology, or a mastery of human psychology.
Selling and Building	“Learn to sell, learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.” This is the best manifestation of specific knowledge.

2. Leverage

Without leverage, you can only ever use “one unit of time in exchange for one unit of money”, which has a limit.

“Time is limited, so the money you can exchange for it is also limited.”

There are three types of leverage:

Type of Leverage	Description	Pros and Cons
Labor Leverage	Having others work for you	This is the oldest form of leverage, but managing humans is very troublesome, and it is a zero-sum game for status.
Capital Leverage	Making money with money (Investing)	It has created many billionaires, but the downside is “it requires others’ permission”—others must be willing to give you their money.
Code and Media	The newest type, products with zero marginal cost of reproduction	This is the secret weapon of the new rich! A piece of code you write or a Podcast you record are all a “robot army working for you.” The best part is it does not require permission to create.

3. Accountability

In the commercial world, there are no outsized returns without taking risks.

You must bravely take risks under “your own real name”.

Just like a real estate developer buying wasteland under their own name, bearing the risk of failure; once successful, society will reward them with “equity” and capital.

You are the captain of this ship, bearing the risk of sinking, but also monopolizing the glory of reaching the treasure island.

4. Judgment

When you possess massive leverage (like large amounts of capital or millions of subscribers), a single decision of yours will be amplified countless times.

The amount of effort put in is no longer important; what matters is “whether the direction is right.”

Just like steering a giant ship, even a 1-degree deviation will lead you thousands of miles off course over time.

Warren Buffett doesn’t need to work 16 hours a day; by relying on his highly accurate “judgment” combined with “capital leverage,” he can create astonishing wealth.

Can Luck Be “Designed”? Productize Yourself

Some people might say: “These sound very reasonable, but aren’t all those rich people just lucky?”

Naval put forward a perspective: Luck can be designed. He categorizes luck into four levels:

Type of Luck	Description
Blind Luck	Pure chance, like a blind cat finding a dead mouse (e.g., winning the lottery).
Luck from Hustling	Taking the initiative and scurrying around to increase your chances of stumbling upon something.
Prepared Luck	A sensitive radar. When an opportunity flashes by and others miss it, you recognize it at a glance.
Attracted Luck	The highest level! When you maximize your “specific knowledge,” “accountability,” and “leverage,” building a personal brand, luck will actively seek you out.

Take a classic example: imagine you are the world’s premier deep-sea diving expert. One day, a treasure hunter finds a sunken ship full of gold in the deep sea but cannot retrieve it. At that moment, he has no choice but to bring the profits to you. You did nothing but polish your unique skills to the extreme, and someone else’s good luck automatically became yours.

This is Naval’s most famous quote:

“Productize Yourself”.

"Yourself" represents uniqueness with accountability, and "Productize" represents the use of leverage.

People in Silicon Valley are willing to help each other because they know this is a long-term game.

All returns in wealth, relationships, and trust come from compound interest.

Find Your Positive-Sum Game

What is the ultimate goal of pursuing wealth? It is actually “freedom.”

Money solves money problems, giving you the leeway to pursue those priceless treasures that money cannot buy:

A peaceful mind
A healthy body
A home filled with love

Starting today, stop playing the linear game of trading time for money. Try to find your specific knowledge, equip yourself with leverage, and kick off your positive-sum game of wealth!

Why Should You Learn English in the AI Era? The Evolution from "Communication Tool" to "Global Operating System"

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 18:28:40 +0800

In the first-class cabins of the Titanic in 1912, even though most passengers were wealthy British and Americans, the menu was entirely in French.

That was an era when English was still considered the language of “uncultured merchants.” Why, in just a hundred years, did this “island dialect” reverse course to become the very “air” we breathe?

How Did English “Win”? (The Dual Push of Economy and War)

So why did English dominate the world from a fringe dialect? Put simply, because it is “practical” enough.

Reason	Explanation
Merchant’s Choice	English is like a “low-threshold code.” It discarded complex declensions and conjugations, has high fault tolerance, and you can do business just by knowing “buy”, “sell”, and “price.” It saved global merchants a huge amount of “communication tax.”
The Baptism of War	WWI and WWII were not just military confrontations, but linguistic purges. The efficient communication of the Anglo-American forces (same operating system) compared to their opponents, coupled with the post-war international order led by the US, wrote English into the rules of how the world runs.
Solidification by Tech	In the internet age, from TCP/IP to Python, the underlying genes are all English. This is not cultural invasion, this is “formatting.”

In the AI Era, Is English Hegemony Over?

Here is a counter-intuitive truth:

The stronger AI translation gets, the more important English becomes.

Current mainstream Large Language Models (LLMs) are mostly trained on English corpora. If you ask AI in Chinese, it often goes:

“Chinese to English → Think → English to Chinese”.

The “Translation Loss” generated in between causes information degradation.

English has upgraded to the standard protocol for “human-machine collaboration.” If you don’t know English, you can only be a “user” of this system, not an efficient “operator.” This is what’s called “Computational Colonialism.”

To be seen by algorithms, we are forced to use English.

Conclusion

Don’t just be satisfied with AI translation tools. In the AI era, English is no longer a foreign language; it is the “root permission” to enter the global knowledge base, access first-hand information, and even command the AI brain.

Master it to find your coordinates in this digital world.

Parenting Counter-Thinking: How to Cultivate Resilient Children with 'Good Inside' in the AI Era?

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 09:30:00 +0800

In an era where the AI wave hits with earth-shattering force, modern parents’ anxiety has reached its peak. We often ask: “Will my child be replaced?” “What should I let them learn to survive?”.

We rush to fill them with knowledge, but often ignore that what truly makes children stand out in the future are those “soft skills” that AI cannot learn

Such as curiosity, empathy, grit, and powerful intrinsic motivation.

But how can these abilities be taught?

In fact, they cannot be “taught”, but must “grow” from a parent-child relationship full of security.

Today, I want to share a kind of “Parenting Counter-Thinking” to take you to re-see your child, and also re-see yourself.

Seeing “Good Inside”: Separating Behavior from Essence

The core soul of the “Good Inside” parenting philosophy is just one sentence:

“We and our children are naturally Good Inside.”

Many parenting dilemmas stem from our habit of “labeling” children.

When a child cries and throws things because they didn’t write their homework well, if we scold them for being “procrastinating” or “impatient”, the child will internalize these negative labels. But from a psychological perspective, this is not making trouble out of nothing, but because the child’s prefrontal cortex is not yet fully developed, and they lost control “involuntarily” when facing frustration.

Practical Tool: Most Generous Interpretation (MGI)

When a conflict occurs, please recite silently in your heart first:

“What is my most generous interpretation of what just happened?”

Item	Description
Case	The child breaks down because the homework is not written beautifully.
Most Generous Interpretation	He is not a bad child, he is a good child who has high standards for himself and is suffering from “wanting to do well but failing”.

This change of mind can build the child’s psychological safety, allowing them to face the high-pressure competition of the AI era in the future

Brave to try and unafraid of failure

Turning from “Self-Control” to “Self-Regulation”

Traditional parenting is used to using rewards and punishments to require children to be “self-disciplined”. However, this method of “punish if bad, reward if obedient” is essentially only dealing with surface behaviors, but ignoring internal stress.

Dr. Huang Congning and Professor Stuart Shanker advocate that out-of-control behaviors should be viewed as “stress behaviors”. The focus is on “Self-Regulation (Self-Reg)”, which is accompanying the child to find ways to relieve stress. Children’s stress sources usually come from five aspects:

Source	Description
Biological Stress	Hunger, lack of sleep.
Emotional Stress	Frustrated, feeling sad.
Cognitive Stress	Coursework is too difficult, not meeting expectations.
Social Stress	Peer relationships are not going well.
Pro-Social Stress	Stress of having to meet moral standards.

Understanding the sources of stress, we can use specific “four steps” to catch the child’s emotions:

Step	Name	Description
1	Something is wrong, opportunity comes	Detect signs that the child is about to explode, intervene in advance
2	Let me guess, is it like this	Use empathetic inquiry to confirm feelings
3	So that’s it, it has a name	Name the emotion (e.g., frustration, depression) to help the child understand their heart
4	Become better together	Provide specific regulation strategies (e.g., hug to recharge, deep breath, or change environment)

Connection Capital and Repair: The Most Important Thing in Parenting

The parent-child relationship is like an “Emotional Account”. As parents, asking children to do things they don’t like every day is “withdrawing”.

If we don’t deposit actively, the account will be overdrawn, and the child will become harder to communicate with.

But parenting doesn’t mean parents have to be perfect, the key lies in “Repair”. Dr. Becky Kennedy emphasizes that repair is more important than not making mistakes.

Deep Steps of Repair:

Step	Name	Description
1	Repair Yourself	Forgive the out-of-control self first. Tell yourself: “I am a good parent who lost control momentarily under multiple stresses.”
2	Repair Connection	After both sides calm down, honestly describe what just happened, take responsibility (e.g., “Dad was too fierce just now, sorry”), and discuss what can be done in the future.

This repair itself is the best demonstration of emotional regulation for the child.

It is also healing that self who was not well caught emotionally in childhood.

Conclusion: Planting Seeds of “Forgiveness” and “Connection”

In the AI era, what is most scarce is no longer knowledge reserves, but resilience and sensitivity. When we can practice these four principles:

Seeing Good Inside
Guiding Self-Regulation
Accumulating Connection Capital
Bravely Practicing Repair

We are planting the most powerful confidence for our children.

It is never too late to repair connections. Every apology and understanding is telling the child:

No matter how the world changes, this is always your safe fortress!
