About Me
I've always loved the feeling of opening the mailbox and finding the latest issue of a magazine you've subscribed to for years. Growing up, my favorites were ESPN The Magazine and Architectural Digest. These days, we're constantly sharing videos, photos, and opinions - so why not our own magazines? Qorrum is a platform where anyone can create and share their own monthly magazine, and explore ones made by others. Mine will usually center on cumulative knowledge, major tech developments, and general learnings - though each issue will take a slightly different shape!

AI was able to make a very realistic fight between Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise…The effect AI will have on film and TV is titanic
Yes, Aditya Agarwal's post rings very true to me. While I certainly enjoy the break neck pace with which I am able to get things done with Claude, it is strange to think the hours I spent learning specific technologies like React may no longer be as useful as they were a short year ago?
I imagine chess champions felt this throughout the 1990s as computers started to defeat them.
Olympics!
Connor Hellebuyck saved 41 of 42 shots to lead the USA hockey team to its first gold medal since 1980 - the road to the gold was filled with resilience at every level, from high school to college to professional.

Which products win and lose in a world where AI Agents, as opposed to people, pick them more and more?
Box CEO on the future of enterprise software in a world of AI. Lots of very thoughtful points (see snapshots) and worth reading for anyone in tech, but the core thesis is:
“In contrast to some of the public discussion, l'd argue that in a world of 100X more Al agents than people in an enterprise, the value of the systems of record and tools agents will use will go up, not down. Because in this new world, software provides the guardrails on which agents can operate successfully within an enterprise, and gives them the underlying tools to use to be more productive themselves and work alongside people."
