"Most days, you answer to your own ambition".
Every founder you admire has quietly survived moments that would make most people quit. There’s no playbook for sleepless nights, hiring mistakes, or explaining to your family why you missed another weekend. It looks like freedom, but most days you answer to your own ambition,.

This will put most many traditional news organizations out of business overnight. The saddest part is they've known this was coming for years.
Scoop:. OpenAI is planning to launch a Google Chrome competitor within weeks. The browser includes a chat interface that would help keep users from having to click through to external links, sources tell @Reuters. from @readkrystalhu @annatonger and me:.

I once hitch-hiked out of Saddam's Iraq in the backseat of an exotic animal smugglers station wagon. Yes, there were animals.

The ultimate irony: A cheating app just accused someone of cheating.
Update: @cluely filed a DMCA takedown for my tweet about their system prompt, alleging that it contained "proprietary source code". Making legal threats against security researchers is not a good look, and I encourage Cluely to reflect on this and open doors to researchers. 🧵

That feeling when you get a term sheet accompanied by those magic words: "We believe in you".

True story: When I launched Goodable, I'd never built a company before, so all I did was try to help as many people as I could. It unlocked so many relationships, customers, and even new hires. Karma is real. We should all be more giving.
We should all aim to be more helpful without expecting anything in return. Just more good juju needs to be deposited into the ecosystem. We all remember those who helped us just out of straight goodness.

Went to a conference today @TOtechweek and met a founder with $70M ARR. I felt so small. It turned out he uses our product, and so does his wife. Keep building.

The biggest casualty tonight isn't a nuclear program. It's international law. Whatever little remained before tonight will be gone.

Good advice for life. Also: Spend time with seniors. It's amazing how much wisdom you can glean from people who've seen so much more than you.
If you’re a young person, one of the most valuable things you can do is to watch some boomer television. Understand different mediums, particularly those of generations older than you. I can’t tell you how valuable it is to be able to speak the normie language of your elders and.

Amazing opportunity to work with a stellar team.
We rarely hire. We have one seat open in SF for someone who wants to create outstanding software for founders. ODF has helped 1,000 startups launch worth billions. Solo Founders has <1% acceptance rate and is proving solo is a valid path. Come help founders win — email me!

Other indicators:. - You can't handle inefficient systems.- You come up with solutions in your spare time.- You care more about growth than money.- You dislike following rules that don't make sense.
If being told “that will never work” motivates you then you’re probably meant to build a startup.

An LP at a VC fund just posted on LinkedIn to say they invest in founders at "the earliest stages." Meanwhile an LP at the same fund told me they only consider startups after $1M in ARR. Founders - it's a wild world.
