one of the most underrated design skills is thinking through analogy

High-Performance Teams in the Age of AI 🔥 I've spent a lot of time thinking about what makes teams move incredibly fast while others get stuck. What I've seen is that performance in the age of AI has surprisingly little to do with credentials on paper and increasingly everything to do with mindset. Here are a few observations from Lovable:

Europe needs insanely ambitious builders and investors. Right now we have neither at the scale this moment demands. It's incredibly easy to blame politicians for everything. But Europe has another huge issue: we lack agency. We need a far higher density of ambitious builders — people who start the hard companies instead of waiting for permission. Every industry that compounds — AI, cloud, chips, robots, space — is being built by the US and China. AI. No European lab competes with OpenAI, Anthropic or Google. Mistral is the only contender, and an order of magnitude too small. This is the platform layer everything else will run on, and we're not in the room. Cloud. AWS, Azure, Google — almost 0% European. Our entire digital economy runs on rented American servers. That's not a market we lost. It's leverage we handed away. Chips. We don't design them (Nvidia, Apple), we don't manufacture them (TSMC). We own exactly one company — ASML — that builds the one machine the whole world needs. It could be Europe's first trillion-dollar company. Miss the rest of the chain and we lose that too. Batteries & rare earths. Up to 98% come from China. A dirty, low-margin business — but lose the supply chain and the economy stops overnight. Northvolt was our shot. It collapsed into the largest bankruptcy in Swedish history, yet we should try again and again and again. Autonomy. Waymo and Tesla in the US. Baidu, WeRide, Pony in China. Robotaxis hit European streets in 2026 — running on foreign tech. Robots. China ships 87% of the world's humanoids. The bright spot: Germany's Neura just raised $1.4B from Nvidia and Amazon. One real bet. We need fifty. Space. SpaceX launches 80+ times a year; we're rebuilding from behind. No reusable rockets, no Starlink alternative, no answer yet as compute moves to orbit. All of this is fixable. Not by subsidizing the past or regulating the future — by funding people audacious enough to BUILD. Europe doesn't have a talent problem. It has a courage-and-capital problem. Build. Build. Build.

Youre forgetting the most fundamental piece of software that every - absolutely every - business needs: an office software. USA hast MS Office and Google Workspace. There is not a single European company that can compete with those two. Office software is the fundamental piece of infrastructure that every business needs. Without it, you can forget the rest of your mentioned list. Imho we need a good European office software (in combination with your list).

Europe is sleepwalking into irrelevance and desperately needs to become a free continent again. While the US and China accelerate into the age of AI, robotics, biotech, autonomy and space, Europe is limiting freedom, innovation, and prosperity for its citizens. AI is the most transformative technology humanity has ever created, yet Europe has no chance to compete – and now we’re losing access as well. European governments spent decades obstructing innovation, and I’m so fucking sick of it. Europe needs a movement for freedom, ambition, and growth. @vonderleyen turned Europe into a micromanaged corporate-bureaucratic machine that is collapsing. I have zero confidence that AI restrictions will be rolled back under the current leadership. I doubt projects like @euinc_petition will ever become a reality. Europe’s political class talks endlessly about competitiveness while systematically making it impossible. European builders leave for the US and laugh at us (for good reason). People have no idea who to vote for because no one seems to have the will or the endurance to deliver meaningful change. A continent that cannot create world-leading companies will become poorer, weaker, and increasingly subject to decisions made in Washington and Beijing. We need NEW leaders who believe in freedom, innovation, growth, and competitiveness – and who possess a ruthless determination to compete and win. If we continue on this path, future generations will look back and wonder why Europe chose economic suicide.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of

You are far more dangerous to your startup than competitors are. A hundred times more startups die from poor execution by their founders than are killed by competitors.

Claude Mythos 5 created these brands, it doesn't look anything like AI slop 🤯 Here's the prompts I used:

@ReligionBund Danke, dass Sie dabei waren!

@christianreber Don’t forget Rocket Factory Augsburg.

@piotrekcichocki @EU_Commission "Apple does not get to decide who innovates in europe". Such arrogance. Such gaslighting. Out of touch and full of pride. Poverty will hit us hard.

Lovable just crossed $500M ARR, 50M projects built, and 720M monthly visits to Lovable-built projects. With that, we're introducing our first-ever data study: A First Look at the Build Economy. Here's what stands out to me: → 80% of builders come from non-technical backgrounds. → 55% have 11+ years of professional experience. → 79% are building something they intend to monetize. → 35% are already earning revenue. → The strongest predictor of what people build is often what they already do and know. → The fastest-growing builder groups are founders, designers, and sales professionals. It's the beginning of an entirely new economy. Proud of the team for putting this together, and even more excited to see what people build next. thebuildeconomy.lovable.app LFG 🚀

I think was a pretty cool way to say goodbye to the MacOS naming scheme (National Parks). Tim Cook is leaving, so are the MacOS National Park names. Very creative. Truly time for a new era. #wwdc #wwdc26
