Railway

Endless debates have been had about whether value accrues at the application layer or the infrastructure layer. @Railway founder @JustJake has a different thesis: "Value accrues at the bottlenecks." And he points to Nvidia and Micron as examples. But Railway isn't trying to become the bottleneck. It's trying to remove friction so developers can build and deploy more software. "Our thesis internally is that we don't want to be the bottleneck... we want to be this friction point that actually allows you to push downstream."

AI is dramatically lowering the barriers to building software. "Everyone has a seat at the table and the best ideas should win." @Railway founder @JustJake: "People should be able to build and deploy anything, [and] they should never have their users' data at risk."

Solo founding used to be considered odd. But @Railway founder @JustJake chose to build Railway alone... and a big part of that was conviction. He believes it's easier to develop deep conviction on your own than by constantly searching for consensus. Once he has that conviction, he surrounds himself with a "triad" of trusted people who challenge his thinking. “It takes a while to develop that conviction on your own, and if you have another person or a triad of people, the rate at which your brain can fire and develop consensus on its own is a million times faster than trying to communicate these things to other people.”
