We're hiring a couple people to work with me and our policy team to evangelize the Little Tech Agenda across X, podcasts, newsletter, & events. In the past I've accidentally hired activists who made it harder to build startups, now I deliberately want to hire some to make it.

At pickup basketball whenever I see someone terrible shooting an ill-advised shot or committing an unforgivable turnover I’m going to stop the game and say, alright, we need a substitution—either he’s out or I’m out. But I can’t be complicit in what just happened. None of us can.
