Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S4 Bonus: Rens ter Weijde

Rens ter Weijde lives in Amsterdam with his 3 month old daughter, who he enjoys very much. And, he considers himself quite lucky cause his girlfriend does most of the work. He's an avid kitesurfer, and he likes to be outdoors on the water. He started wave surfing and did it for 8 years, but found it incredibly difficult. He switched to kite surfing 6 years ago, and finds it much more enjoyable.


He was a strategy consultant for 10 years, but then he hit a wall at one point and decided to move on to something new... and that new thing was AI. When he attempted to break into the space and become educated, he had to manually string together courses and content by himself. As he went through this process, he thought this process can be optimized, or done in a better way.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Problem With Track & Field World Records

One of the unique things about track and field is that you don’t just compete against your immediate competitors, but you are also competing against the clock or the tape measure.  That means you can compare achievements with people in the past, and that means world records. You would expect world records to fall over time, but there are a small number of records that haven’t been broken in decades and no one has even come close to breaking them.
