- controversial take: dropping out of college to be a founder only makes sense for *truly* *exceptional* individuals with ideas they cannot imagine not building full time for most, if you like to build stuff: do side projects, stay in school, get a job even - your time will come
- # of early-stage founders i know who are not struggling to hire: zero
- Life update: I’ve moved to SF, declined my offer to @StanfordGSB, and joined @neo as an investor! Before getting into why I’m incredibly bullish on Neo, I want to share my origin story that I’ve largely kept to myself: I grew up in a small town in China, bordering North Korea
- Replying to @HarryStebbingsthey’d probably prefer ppl to work 7 days a week, accept lower salaries, never look for another job, and never ask for a promotion too - that’s not reality though so quit whining
- lol I guess not deep enough for you to call it ‘bullying’ but have to say you were ‘unkind’
- Replying to @Simeon_Cpsi dont understand how this is 'legendary' when he was mostly just being a dick for no reason - there's no such thing as something being so complicated that it cannot be explained in a few minutes, only terrible /arrogant communicators
- how did non-technical founders find their technical co-founder besides using YC co-founder matching?
- there are two camps of builders: one chasing proximity to power outside of their craft (well-branded VC, tech influencers, extravagant parties) - social climbing driven by personal insecurity and/or unserious fun-trepreneur mindset the other goes as deep as possible into
