What people are saying
The podcast makes complex ideas feel simple. I don’t need to be an engineer to get value out of it. I walk away with real perspective every time.
It feels like sitting down with someone who’s already read everything, filtered the noise, and just tells you what actually matters.
Jason’s newsletter is one of the few I actually read start to finish. It’s smart without trying too hard and always ahead of what’s coming next.
Jason’s interviews feel like conversations between curious peers, not hype sessions. It’s thoughtful, grounded, and still manages to be fun.
I cannot begin to thank the author for putting together this book. Just finished reading it – every sentence in it has so much value to offer!
Thoughts on Tech & Things is the best way to keep up with a fast changing world of AI and technology.
