I got so angry about the new Founder's Relief in yesterday's budget that I did a full write-up: Founder's Relief is a pointless lottery that no one wants to play cantbefired.substack.com/p/f…

Today we're launching Dollars 💰 Most AI startups spend so much time and effort building an AI product with negative gross margins. We skipped straight to the end. We sell US dollar bills for $0.80. TAM: $1T+ in circulation. We’re going after all of it. Let’s scale to the moon together. dollars for less dot com

HMRC's new customer system will cost somewhere between £1.7bn and £4.4bn. Give or take £2.7bn. Bold to buy software like it's 2015. The entire sovereign AI fund is £640m.

The weird thing about the insane pace of AI, is that if you've been sat on the sidelines for the last 2 years, you probably only need 1-3 months to play catch-up. There's loads of twists and turns that many of us have been through - if you're starting now, you can just "skip intro"

Had a lot of fun writing this one. Hope you enjoy it: AI can't help you if you spend your day talking to colleagues cantbefired.substack.com/p/a…

0.5% stamp duty on UK listed stocks is another great example of how our taxation system sucks.
