I feel the idea of founders crying over other founders copying them as strange. my sweet summer child did you expect the world to let go of a billion dollar idea because you started it 'first'. originality doesn't matter. only execution does. the sooner you realize this, the.
I was too kind to a company in my YC batch. They were a young team, struggling, pivoting, and trying to figure things out. During the batch, they copied the idea of another company in our cohort. It caused a lot of friction and tension, so I tried to be helpful, keep their.

The richest man on earth is ready to do dumb things in public and see what sticks. Whats your excuse?.

RT @paulg: There's certainly a list of people who wired large amounts to Epstein. Banks keep records of those. Let's start with that.

The Augustinians had no website when Pope Leo became their global leader in 2001 — so he taught himself HTML & CSS and built this. Whats your excuse?

The US education system has been hijacked by propagandists who mask themselves as educators. We need to tear down the ideological ivory tower.
Eman Abdelhadi: “F*** the University of Chicago. but it’s my best shot at power.”. At Socialism 2025, @UChicago professor Eman Abdelhadi called her employer “evil colonial landlord.". Use it. Organize it. Seize its structural leverage. “We don’t have power. but I work at one

If you're at $2 million ARR software business and you don't have free cashflow to grow, you were either. 1) Never a business---just a VC scheme to sell dollars for pennies. 2) Or illiterate about how much AI can improve your margins.
The number of founders stuck in the messy middle have exponentially grown. They are lonely. They raised a seed round, maybe a seed+, they got to $2M ARR, and now they are stuck. - spend on acquisition keeps going up.- not growing fast enough.- burning money.- can't quit.-.

Had a demo today in which the SDR was probably using some AI tool. Felt so prepared and not a conversational at all. That's sad. A demo call is an opportunity to hear your customers and respond to their pain point. Not parrot AI Slop.
