Starting a running thread of articles I've read over the years and want to keep track of / share with whoever comes across my profile here 🤠 largely words on startups/tech/navigating career paths

@sameeraculous At 28 I am running my first half marathon this Sunday!

post 25 is just your brain going "why are people getting married? i should have more coffee. i need to go to the gym. i need to sleep more. i should go to b school. can i run another half ? can i do hyrox? how much protein do i need?" ad inifinitum.

@sharmafication how many grams of protein in one good cry /s

@sameeraculous 2x body weight in grams (tears not included)

I’m really glad people are resonating with this because I had all of these thoughts in like 2 minutes (cold brew might’ve been involved)

@shryansg u hate us because u ain’t us

@sameeraculous you missed “I should run a shitposting x account”

live laugh love wispr forevr

Yes :)

YC spends most of its time telling founders not to worry about competition. Imagine if Legora (just raised 550 at 5.5B) hadn't launched because they looked at Harvey and thought "it's over." That happens a 100x a batch. The advice = don't worry about it, just out-execute them. "Make something people want” does not mean "make a market map… then make something you think people might want." Is any industry ever truly saturated? If you can find customers and start building, don't think about who else is out there. Just go. If you have real competition, you'll have a hard time getting customers. That's the only signal that matters.

though this is also a reminder of how much we're interconnected / susceptible to geopolitics even if we don't realise it every day. dosa gone one day, something else another.

IDC has no dosa today... must rename to IC

mogged? brother, back in my day you were pwned

@divz_i_am this actually might be effective fuel given how competitive I am 😭

@sameeraculous Since everyone hates burpees, if you actually manage to do them regularly, it’s one workout which you can use to aura farm because you’ll naturally end up being better than everyone else💁🏻‍♀️

I dare someone to come up with propaganda that will make me like burpees because I s2g i think it’s the worst exercise to be invented
