People who start businesses in their 50s and 60s have an advantage no 25-year-old can replicate - they've already failed inside someone else's company on someone else's dime, and every mistake they watched a boss make is a mistake they'll never repeat, and that accumulated library of other people's errors is worth more than any startup capital because it buys something money can't - Silicon Canals

During earnings calls this week, the CFOs of big tech companies, Meta and Microsoft, delivered a similar message: the AI race requires unprecedented capital spending, but that spending is disciplined, demand-driven, and ultimately margin-accretive rather than reckless.
