@nic__carter what a weirdo response- . a person you don't know makes a completely reasonable critic on the internet and your response is to answer back with a thinly veiled threat of exclusion?.

null pointers strike again!. looks like the crowdstrike issue is a dereferenced null pointer that's trying to access null memory using the 'mov r9d, dward ptr r[8]' assembly operation. brutal.

You wanna know how silicon valley startups really work?. I'll tell you. A founder/co-founders will start working on a startup while they're still working at a bigger company. They'll put together an MVP and socialize it within their group of friends who are other founders or.

@peterthedecent You should say no to obviously dumb things, but if there is a potential that someone/something could be big, it's rarely a bad idea to spend 30 min talking to them. Worst case, you make a new connection, best case, you work at cursor. .

@philip_ruffini There are different kinds of 10x engineers too. I've worked with some who are savant-level at coding or in a specific language but the most productive. Others who aren't the best coders but insanely productive. Get as much done in 30 minutes as someone working for 4 hours.

@AdamRackis Steam has a completely flat organizations with no managers and they just did $9B in revenue last year. Meta spent the last 6 months cutting out middle managers and their stock price is up 136%. Maybe managers are the problem.

@eyeslasho So this is why college is getting so expensive? . Michigan costs $32k/year to attend (tuition, room & board, etc). If they cut 90% of these positions, they could easily reduce the cost by $5k/student.

@wolfejosh Normally I would think this is hilarious but this is actually a little sad. It shows a lack of self-control and inability to prioritize company > self. Also, idk how Linda Y, as a CEO, can sit there and have him embarrass and undermine you like that.

@roshanpateI At the time it was pretty revolutionary. The tech was one thing but it was the social acknowledgment that an electronically signed contract was as real as a hand-signed one. But they've lost their way and turned into a financial engineering company instead of a product co.

You mean McKinsey effectively made up research that drove companies to implement new programs that they had no experience implementing thus relying on the McKinsey to lead the implementation?. Wow. It's almost like they had an incentive to exactly just that.

@lpolovets i made this same point when someone said that in 2023 $27.B had been wasted by startups that had shut down. When Stripe IPOs in the ~$60B range, that justifies the $27B wasted on everyone else since Stripe alone would return at least 2x that. Power laws are a real thing.

@alexrkonrad Way less than the $20B that Adobe offered. At 6x-10x NTM which is where it seems like most deals are getting priced, if Figma is on track to do $400M, youâre talking about $2.4B - $4B. Makes sense for Adobe to pull the deal and pay the break up fee.

@aribk24 Or you can spend 3 minutes and pay $30/month to use a CRM that a team has spent thousands of hours perfecting every page/interaction/feature/workflow. Instead of spending your time writing sentences to an LLM just to reproduce what someone else has already done.

This is actually like a top 3 lesson you learn as a founder. If something seems so obvious, itâs more likely that a lot of smart people looked at it, researched it and realized it wasnât a good opportunity, than you found a diamond in the rough.
One thing I am realizing is that there are no arbs in business. There are in markets & real life, if it looks like an arb in business it's because it's a minuscule small service that won't ever reach real size (i.e. owning parking garages in Guyana) . If your start up sounds.

Has UCLA tried calling all of the immigrant parents of the kids who are protesting?. If my Albanian mother who escaped communism to come to the US found out I was protesting instead of studying, she would have single-handedly broken up an encampment in her slippers.

@sama Standing up an alt-college isnât really the problem. The problem is that employers need to willing to accept and equate an alt-college transcript/experience with the traditional college experience. Until then your âbuyersâ will never believe youâre selling an equal âproductâ.

@andrew__reed I love the Veeva Systems and Emergence Capital story. Emergence puts in $4m out of the $7m total raised in a series A (I believe?) and Veeva doesnât raise anymore and IPOs in 2013 at a cap of $1.2B. Now sitting at $21B.

@AbhayVenkatesh1 Elon got into stanford, had an internship and full time offers from a bank. Palmer was fired because Facebook didn't like his politics, . Sam was fired because he was wasn't focused on just YC. they didn't do anything magical that made them "unemployable".

Please keep @neosynccloud and our @ycombinator S22 batch mates in your prayers this week. Our free startup plans at Datadog, Auth0, Hubspot and AWS are all running out and we'll have to actually pay for SaaS tools now (or go open source. ).

@tomfgoodwin This has always been the case. Good employees will be good anywhere. Bad will be bad anywhere. The problem is the middle group who are easily influenced. Remote brings out the worst in them while in person brings out the best.

@mooritzvc @tszzl Allows someone to triage the communication, make it digestable and relevant for other teams and prioritize it. Obviously too much inefficiency is bad. But many teams need someone who can see the bigger picture and keep everyone on track.

Great, you spent a weekend rebuilding some product using cursor and AI. What now?. Are you gonna spend the next year iterating on it? Talking to users? Fixing bugs? Adding features? Experimenting? Pivoting?. Coding was never the rate limiting factor. Vision and motivation are.
