It feels like whenever there's nothing great to write about in the tech world, news outlets pivot to writing about nuclear energy. But it might be more than just filler content lately.

The Information wrote a lot about nuclear energy this weekend. This article is a deep dive, pointing out a key observation that the nuclear industry is still moving way too slowly compared to tech. Startups are trying to speed up nuclear innovation, but they’re running into outdated regulations and long development timelines. It’s a problem because we need scalable, clean energy—fast.

There are a lot of articles telling content creators to do more. This one talks about why they might consider doing less.

The idea presented is that creators should focus on just two social media platforms to avoid burnout and improve content quality. Spreading oneself too thin across multiple channels can reduce creativity and consistency. Since each channel has its own unique aspects and audience tendencies, content really needs to be adapted for the platform it’s being posted on, and cross-posting the exact same stuff ends up being more of a resource drain than a boost.

More and more, pure content creators/influencers can be thought of as small businesses. They have similar operational challenges and cost/benefit structures to analyze. In this article, the author recommends doubling down on your strongest platforms to boost engagement and impact.

• Less is more: focus on where you thrive.

• Each platform requires unique content and energy—overextending kills momentum.

• Prioritize quality and connection over quantity.
