Honestly,
This dress makes it feel like he will announce the establishment of the East India company

@VaibhavKaul5 Never had self doubt :)
Always had misplaced cocky confidence in self.
And a massive chip on the shoulder..
It is a feature to not know how dumb you are .. jumping in.. then realising your don't know shit.. and learning it fast. And jumping in again into a new problem statement

@arnav_kumar Early founder here… how did you deal with self-doubt in the early years?

I sent a few mangoes to a friend yesterday on an impulse after I posted this.
Another friend saw this tweet and sent me this batch of mangoes.
Which are even more yum.
A mango for a mango makes Bangalore better :)
Blessed to have such kind friends.
Not revealing his name because he will get hounded for these beauties 🥭🥭

God looked at India and said - "Give them the best mangoes. Let it be fair compensation for everything that will test their patience out there"

Random Wednesday.
Some problem you were wrestling with just clicks.
The sky is brighter,
the steps are lighter,
the world is more tolerable,
the air has more oxygen,
the water quenches better,
everything feels possible,
I feel so much life in me.
Problem solving is the drug of founders
And the lifeblood of entrepreneurship
All founders are only one solved problem away from feeling inevitable again.

This is one of those painful mistakes every founder makes.
You know talent is important, but you let the bar go lower every quarter as the company scales
The only way to avoid this is to hire Bar Raisers
If you haven't read the Amazon concept of a bar raiser round in the hiring process, please do so today.
Thank me later.
Become the bar raiser for your direct reports hiring,
And the hiring your direct reports do.
It is the single most useful thing you will do to improve the density of talent in your org/startup/company
Jason ✨👾SaaStr.Ai✨ Lemkin@jasonlk
Almost every important mistake I've made in the past 15+ years has been due to lowering the hire bar Directly or indirectly, it leads to chaos, slowdown, doubt, and confusing inputs

I believe AI is not going to kill jobs.
In fact it might create more jobs
But AI is going to compress wages.
When a 10x engineer, designer, marketer or lawyer can do the work of 50 average ones, the market stops paying a premium for being “decent”.
The middle class knowledge work will get Uber-ified.
The AI impact is not a jobs crisis.
It is a wages crisis.

@arnav_kumar The survival battle between product and engineering comes down to whether product managers learn engineering before engineers learn product.
English
Full stack engineers are now more valuable than ever - especially at startups.
If you're a product engineer waiting for someone else to do the frontend or backend, you're not moving fast enough to compete.
Own the whole thing or get out of the way.
And if you are a full stack engineer, learn product and become a full stack builder 🚀😎

The rate of improvement in video generation models is absurd.
Every few months the impossible becomes trivial.
Sometimes it feels as though the entire arc of technological civilization was converging toward this moment.
Centuries of mathematics.
Millions of engineers.
Industrial revolutions.
Microchips.
The internet.
Clouds of data centres humming across continents.
Capitalism.
Free flow of Capital.
As if humanity spent hundreds of years stockpiling weapons, resources and infrastructure for one final campaign:
the conquest of imagination itself.
Like an ancient empire preparing for its decisive war, not over land or oil or borders,
but over reality, creativity and meaning.

Will Smith eating pasta is now the official benchmark for AI progress. This is actually insane.

@arnav_kumar Sure. Duopoly means 2 Suppliers. It is not defined by Market Share. Since there are half a dozen or more suppliers, automobile market is not a duopoly.
English
Classic case of
'When brands reach parity, distribution wins'
In USA you haveseveral dozen car brands to choose from.
So the power moves from the producer to the distributor.
This doesn't work in India because India is a pseudo duopoly in cars
(It is slowly changing though)
Ryan Petersen@typesfast
TIL there are more car dealerships than car makers in the Fortune 500
English
@arnav_kumar There is more nuance than this
In USA, dealers needs to build their own demand.
Whereas in India, OEM spend to build demand
So dealers in india are mere capital arbiterage play. hence you see <5% operating margin among indian dealers

@s_ketharaman Educate me. What share do Maruti and Hyundai have in passenger cars ?
English
@arnav_kumar India is absolutely not a duopoly in automobile industry.
