can confirm all these, when I worked at @getairchat - everyone directly reported to @naval / no middle-management bullshit - full agency to choose what projects to work on, smarter the projects, better the outcomes. - each person is a “lab” and with the highest throughputs

Breaks my brain everytime a non-technical VC says "stanford grad would build this in a weekend". Absolute disregard for technology, craft and actual long-term company building. The best hackathon demos can be 90% there, it's the last 10% that matters.

Jared has proven you can just do things. You don't need experience, degrees, any of that. You just need to be smart and agentic.
Jared Kushner proved the foreign policy experts wrong in the first administration by working out the Abraham Accords. He's done it again with the peace deal. Trump may literally just solve the Middle East by the end of his second term. We have to give him that accomplishment.

This is obviously comical to cite in hindsight. But the only way I, who've had half a dozen lives/careers by now, broke into anything new is...reading 20-30 books on it. You can indeed just do things. Most people are less competent than they seem. Everyone is winging it.

The amount of people judging me for building Sunflower is insane “What qualifications do you have to do this?” 👀 Idk man, but I’m doing it
People will say you’re unqualified. They’ll call what you’re doing inappropriate. That’s when you know you’re on the right track. Paul Graham on building from the margins:

bill clinton went home to this and still decided to
When we got married 50 years ago, we had no idea how our lives would unfold. But one thing I knew for certain then, and still know now, is that I wanted to navigate the ups and downs and in-betweens with you. Happy anniversary, dear Bill.

character of the neighbourhood is such a weird thing to obsess over in a city of people who really just need a place to live
Seven stories next to single family IS the character of the neighborhood.

We give boomers a lot of shit, but just wait until future generations judge millennials for tanking the birth rate because we “needed to find ourselves” until we were 34 years old.
