Learning Resources

🛠️ TOOL

ChatGPT

A generative AI chatbot. Probably the best tool that helps me to learn by asking questions and getting it to expand ideas until I fully understand them. Customising agents and using the API is great too.

🛠️ TOOL

Cursor AI

An AI-driven IDE for coding. This is the most powerful tool I have come across for writing and querying code with AI. I use it extensively.

🌐 SITE

Stackoverflow.com

This is a website form for programmers. I don't often use it but sometimes refer to it when troubleshooting difficulty coding issues

🌐 SITE

GoingVC.com

A VC ecosystem website. Used to learn about the practical knowledge needed to understand and work in the VC industry.

📄 REPORT

Beacon Venture Report

A report by Aumni & Fenwick on report on the state of the venture capital market.

🌐 SITE

Producthunt.com

A website for niche and indie tech products. INot explicitly a learning tool, but I draw inspiration for the possibilities of micro tech solution.

📚 BOOK

Start small, stay small

Rob walling

A step-by-step guide to launching products. The book (and other work from the author) really drove home the point that the start point to great products is starting with a problem, not an idea.

📚 BOOK

The Mom Test

Rob Fitzpatrick

A book on how to talk to customers to get honest and reliable feedback. A great book I refer to when trying to validate new ideas. It saved me from at least one idea that was probably not the best before I landed on the idea for Halal Maps.

📚 BOOK

Zero to one

Peter Thiel

A book on value creation. One of the first books I read about products, companies, and startups that provided a strong frame for creating value through novel capabilities.
