Schlitt happens. History did not, but neither did an awful loss, which the Yankees flirted with as much as Cam Schlittler did a perfect game.

- Anton Osika cofounded the Swedish vibe coding startup Lovable in 2023.
- The 35-year-old told Business Insider that he looks for four key traits when he’s hiring candidates.
- Osika said he is more interested in a candidate’s ability to learn than the skills they have now.
Lovable CEO Anton Osika says he looks for four key attributes when he hires for his company.
Osika said in an interview with Business Insider on Wednesday that he looks for candidates for his vibe coding startup who demonstrate “slope, breadth, curiosity, and bias to build.”
Firstly, Osika said candidates needed to have “slope, not just skill.” The 35-year-old said that a candidate’s “slope” refers to their ability to pick up new skills and navigate a learning curve.
“I care more about how fast someone learns and adapts than where they are today. If a conversation feels alive, if I walk away having learned something new, that’s a strong sign they’ll thrive in the team and push our ways of working forward,” Osika said.
Secondly, Osika said he looks for “generalists over narrow specialists.” He added that he would rather bring in people “who can do a bit of everything—design, code, product thinking—than someone world-class in just one thing.”
“Range matters when you’re building new categories,” he said.
Thirdly, Osika said he wants to see potential hires demonstrate “first principles thinking.” His company needs people “who don’t just copy playbooks but ask why things are the way they are,” he added.
“That curiosity and ability to reason from scratch is often what gives you an edge,” Osika said.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in an interview back in 2012 that thinking from first principles often results in more innovative ideas.
“The normal way we conduct our lives is we reason by analogy. We are doing this because it’s like something else that was done, or it’s like what other people are doing,” Musk told entrepreneur Kevin Rose in 2012.
“It’s mentally easier to reason by analogy rather than from first principles. First principles is kind of a physics way of looking at the world, and what that really means is you kind of boil things down to the most fundamental truths,” Musk added.
Lastly, Osika said he wants to have “builders, not talkers” on his team.
“We’re biased toward people who show they can ship, iterate, and make something real—whether that’s a product, a project, or even just a hack that proves a point,” he said.
The race for AI talent has seen tech giants like Meta and Microsoft offer massive signing bonuses to entice potential hires. Osika, however, said throwing money wouldn’t make recruiting easier for Lovable.
“If I knew who was the perfect engineer to hire, I could maybe step up our compensation bands to get exactly those. But I don’t know who are the best people,” Osika told podcaster Harry Stebbings in an interview that aired Monday.
“So I need to just figure out — are these really, really good people to work with? Are they moldable? Are they going to work well together in this team?” he said.

Reform Party’s Focus on Traditional Family Values Amid Controversy
In a decisive move, the Reform Party has emphasized its commitment to supporting working parents, explicitly distancing itself from welfare dependency. “We’re talking about working parents only,” stated a party representative. “We are absolutely not talking about families that are completely on benefits, and therefore we are not supporting a benefit culture, because that is absolutely against what Reform stands for,” reports 24brussels.
However, this family-first approach presents challenges for the populist right, particularly for a party already facing criticism over gender issues. Reform aims to reclaim traditional values while navigating a landscape rife with accusations of being anti-woke.
The party’s slogan—“family, community, country”—resonates with conservative principles seen in the United States. Despite this, party member Pochin insists Reform is “absolutely not” inspired by culture wars from across the Atlantic.
“This is just core values stuff,” Pochin continued. “Britain has always been a traditional country with traditional family values, and that seems to have been lost.” She criticized the government for prioritizing support for asylum seekers over initiatives aimed at strengthening family structures, asserting the need to return to “our traditions, our culture, our values — and we believe that starts with the family.”
Patrick Brown, a family policy expert at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, noted the secular nature of British society. “In the U.K., you guys are a more secular society with religion less politically engaged [in discourse],” he explained.
This secularism complicates political messaging. Analysts caution that if leaders like Farage were to adopt more stringent stances on contentious issues such as abortion or same-sex marriage, they could alienate public opinion, including their supporter base, warns O’Geran from More in Common.
