@ms75015577 @ZoeSchiffer Seriously, whoever stands out right now could jump ahead 10 years of their career.

@justingordon212 So sad to see this. There’s nothing better than a Dad 💔

RIP Dad 💔 Reminder to hold your loved ones close. You never know how much time you’ll have left with them.

@thejustinwelsh @stijnnoorman Most people can’t sell

@stijnnoorman That's exactly it.

If you're one of the best employees at your company, you should damn sure be building something for yourself on the side. When a company is willing to pay you for your knowledge and skills, the open market will likely pay you more.

The irony is that in less than 24 hours we’re all going to be using a platform owned by a US govt employee.

@RickRubin Inviting this energy into 2025 🙌. To be brave enough to get my work to this level.

@KrissBergTweets He should read a book, create art, learn to code

10yo son really wants to play fortnight. We’re not fans of shooting games but this one seems tame? What say you parents of X?

6. Salesmanship is more valuable than intelligence. You need to learn to sell: • Yourself • Your product • Your vision • Your ideas My richest friends don't have the highest IQs. They just know how to sell. They aren't afraid of the no. They work until they get a yes.

I don’t think we’ve fully priced in what it means that a SaaS can be copied in 24h with AI and what’s that’s going to do to the $500B+ SaaS market how it will play out: new saas software pops up left, right and center at lower prices and creator-led SMBs start to abandon their traditional saas providers choosing between AI clones at 1/10th the price or creators-led brands they trust (why pay $100/month when a copy costs $10?) enterprise stays with current vendors - they're buying stability, not features but even they demand 50% discounts when 100 competitors exist 10000+ new AI-first companies split $100B in SMB revenue top SaaS companies keep enterprise but at lower margins everybody pays less, market gets repriced and TAM expands winners become indie hackers, bootstrapped founders and incumbents who move fast and break things losers become complacent incumbent saas companies the great SaaS repricing is coming

@luanalopeslara My team worked on SOC2 for you! It’s been really exciting to see your product on the main stage tonight 🚀 🚀 🚀

To everyone asking, I clearly have no idea what's happening

@taniadelrio @jasondesante @ForgottenRunes I love your passion for this project. This is a really nice piece of art!

🎃Happy Inktober! ✍️ DAY 25: CONTRACT WIZARDS Congrats to @jasondesante for winning a cameo spot! 🧙🏼‍♀️This year I’m inking one piece a day inspired by whatever @ForgottenRunes thing I feel like drawing. These will eventually all be added to my planned coloring book! 📕✨

@bennbuilds @4TristanS I don’t even know you and I’m excited!

This headline is insane. Wow!

@ChappellTracker born too late to explore the earth born too early to explore the universe born just in time to be the voice of the user

Huge mistake to start “scaling” before PMF. In particular, don’t hire more than 12 people. Why 12? Because that’s about the max you can have without a person whose full-time job is "manager," and communication can still be "everyone ↔ everyone"

Planning to keep the team size as small as possible going forward. All IC’s All remote Async No managers No dedicated support Stay profitable Ship fast

@alexisohanian So real.

I still have moments where I'm really discouraged about something I'm building — usually because of some setback — and I take a minute to literally acknowledge that feeling in my mind "that sucks, I'm disappointed with X, what can I learn from X? (sometimes nothing) OK, now what can I do about it." And usually that alone helps diffuse my frustration. Then, sometimes, I think of someone who I know is rooting against me and I think about how disappointed they'll be when we eventually succeed, and I swear to God it motivates me. Still, even after all these years.

@realEstateTrent I have met very high quality people in the large city I live in via my kids. We spend a lot of time sober with those relationships. I’d say kids net positive for your social life, but it’s more dinners and daytime and less drinking and partying. I like it more.

Honest question for parents with young kids: Are you really going out much? Thought my wife and I would be going to dinners, shows, meeting friends, etc as we raised our kids, but it's a couple of times/month max. Both kids under 5: turns out we're totally fine staying home.

@WizLikeWizard I live in Beverly Hills and there’s zero camping. It’s gorgeous and totally safe. I don’t lock my doors. I can get to SM and WeHo in 10 min. There’s no option like that in SF. It’s a zombie apocalypse everywhere.

@VxCybrgrl LA probably worse at this point tbh

You’re not a serious person in tech if you’re not in SV 🤷🏻‍♂️ My Saturday: - volunteered at Stanford farm and got pitched by a Google SWE on an AI-powered hydroponic sys he’s prototyping in parents’ garage - birthday dinner in Hayes sat next to AI PhD working on “the neurons” at Anthropic. Talked about transformer alts and synthetic data The density of smart people working on important things is unparalleled here…

Startup not growing fast? Learn sales. Finding product market fit? Learn sales. Got to recruit a talented team? Learn sales. Need more paying customers? Learn sales. Sales is basically 90% of a founders job.

@lucy_guo I don’t know if this is something I’m struggling with 😂

Important to remember that it might feel cool to date someone hot and famous but in a few years, none of that will matter 😌
