Hi there,

Welcome back to the Grid. You are 1 of 65 builders receiving this.

Three (or more) actionable bullets, once a week, let's dive in.

We were at the AI Engineer World's Fair 🇺🇸 last week.

1. Cities are just buildings. Your friends are what make your experience of them.
2. EvalOps, LLM observability, & agent orchestration are getting very crowded as spaces. In a shovel rush, dig for gold.
3. A lot of the best products are being built by small teams in humble offices.
4. Build hard, ambitious things. It’s easier to get things done at the edge of your abilities.

If you're a fan of hardware startups, here is a trip recommendation from a Series B founder of a hardware startup: take a flight to Honk Kong, then take a train to Shenzhen & stop at Macau on the way back.

What's something cool you learned this week? Just email us. We read everything.

See you next week.
