Nabeel, I’m a current Stanford senior in computer science who’s been hovering around defense for the last year or so. The things I see in the current wave concern me. If you have a chance to talk, it would mean a lot.
Awesome read - thank you for the insights. Loved the section on Bat Signals in particular, I would expect it is strongly reliant on a company having a very distinct culture and that is harder to have them when your company becomes clearly associated with "Prestige" by a high percentage of university graduates
Great thorough read, I especially enjoyed learning about the FDE/PD system. Interesting that so many consultancies (like Accenture that u mentioned) do the first part but never the second.
If I had to tweak 1 tiny thing, I'd say google some synonyms for "hilarious" 😅
Wow, this was so interesting to read. So glad you wrote it.
Gonna go read those books (impro, etc)!
I don't remember reading anything as interesting as this in a long time.
Thanks for sharing
What are the modern Palantir equivalents as of 2024, in your opinion?
Great piece, Nabeel. Good luck for your startup!
Thank you for writing this!

Came here to say this
For BD engineers tend to have high pain tolerance, you mean FDE ?

Thanks for this. Good read.
Your comment on data gatekeepers is the most fascinating insight. This is also what drives value for shareholders at the macro level.
Thank you! Best of luck with the venture.
Wow, I came to your Substack from Medium. This was an amazing read. I also saved the books you mentioned and I am planning to read them.
A post that I could not stop reading to the end; Rich content, amazing insights !!
