1/ After years of advocacy, I’m taking partial credit for @vgr finally releasing season 1 of his Breaking Smart blog series as a self-paced online course. This is The. Single. Best. Source. I know of for truly understanding what’s going on in the world ribbonfarm.teachable.com/p/breaking-sma…

@vgr 2/ It expands on the idea that “software is eating the world” to create an integrated, well reasoned, first principles perspective on the relationship between technology, history, innovation, entrepreneurship, and economics. Here’s my brief summary praxis.fortelabs.co/immersion-expe…

@vgr 3/ Series was written during Venkat’s writing residency with @a16z, and draws on many real examples of people and companies. He’s tested it in 7 live workshops over 2 yrs, and this course includes video lectures, original essays in ebook form, live session summaries, & workbook

@vgr @a16z 4/ It’s currently 50% off at pre-launch using code EARLYBIRD until midnight 2/1. First module is available and the other 3 will be published over next 3 weeks. I cannot recommend getting in on this as he will update course over time with Q&As, special topics, other features

@vgr @a16z 4/ Here’s the full details: mailchi.mp/ribbonfarm/sea…

@vgr @a16z Whoops *cannot recommend enough
