One of the most important pieces of advice for first time founders. (Not that you can actually learn this lesson without making the mistake yourself. but its still good to hear).
@visakanv As a first time founder trying to hire, here's why "only A players" is either delusion or cope:.* Bad pitch: You are a terrible manager. * No network: Most of the best people you'll know, you haven't met. yet. * Comp: Your equity is unproven, you have less cash too.

Woah I think I should finally watch ratatouille.
@primalpoly @mattyglesias Reminds me of Ratatouille:."In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read."
