I worked at one of YC's fastest growing startups and made it to senior management. Most of my equity was in the form of refreshers. When I eventually left, I couldn't afford to exercise my options, so I took out a non-recourse loan. The outcome was extremely painful👇

DO EPIC SHIT DO: Action >> Idea EPIC: Action that goes beyond your own self SHIT: You have fun while doing it DO EPIC SHIT: Doing things bigger than you, while having fun doing it! Pretty much sums up my life motto.

1. Micro SAAS Ideas by @upen946 It's been a while now that Eric and David have been subscribing to Micro SAAS Ideas. After getting access to exclusive insights, they wanted to start their Micro SAAS to display Gifs on pricing features = GiFeatures. 👇 https://t.co/s0KXPaYwPN

"To a person with a hammer, everything looks like a nail" That's why: 1. A developer thinks all growth happens through features 2. A marketer thinks all growth happens through marketing ..and so on. As a startup founder, rising above such biases is a key part of your journey :)

Kenapa parenting susah? Karena proses parenting tidak hanya mengajarkan anak 1+1=2, b-u-d-i dibaca budi. Kalau misal parenting hanya sekedar mengajari 1+1=2 mungkin saya mau punya anak 10 😶

I dreaded the idea of starting a company. As an early employee, I saw how painful startups were, in both success & failure. Replit was forcing itself unto the world; it was no longer sustainable as a side project. Before incorporating, here are all the ways we tried *not* to:

In the short term, you are as good as your intensity. In the long term, you are only as good as your consistency.

This is my son, Benedict. He died yesterday, suddenly, aged 5. I just want everyone to know that he existed, and to see his beautiful smile and know how wonderful he was. He was such a bright spark, the kindest boy. His time with us was the greatest gift 💔 https://t.co/jxUwfiExMx

The best part about being a VC: Getting a daily education from founders on the bleeding edge of their respective fields. They share mind-blowing insights, then you get the privilege of investing in their ambitious dreams. VC is a learning journey—embrace it!

Dislike meritocracy? Consider the time-honored alternatives: nepotism, patronage, cronyism, inheritance, racial & ethnic discrimination. We dismantle it at our peril, says Adrian Wooldridge https://t.co/mHA1cAu5T6

We're excited to announce the OpenAI Residency! This new program offers a pathway to a full-time role at OpenAI for researchers and engineers who don't currently focus on AI. The program will focus on recruiting from underrepresented groups in technology. https://t.co/Umq6ObEeeE

@micsolana The overarching problem is that we need better mental firewalls for the information constantly coming at us. Critical & first principles thinking should be a required course in middle school. Who wrote the software running in your head? Are you sure you actually want it there?

Never tell yourself you "have to" do something. Instead, tell yourself that you "choose to." The mindset difference is subtle but important. "Having to" removes agency. "Choosing to" put it back.

Build your startup's product with as few developers as possible. Best case = ZERO. How? 1. Use off-the-shelf products 2. Try NoCode 3. Work with freelancers 4. Then make some money => hire one dev 5. Make MORE money => hire another dev 6. Repeat 5 forever

The world is going to move faster and faster from here on. People and institutions who embrace this will be richly rewarded. People and institutions who do not or cannot are going to be challenged. Adaptability and speed have gone from valuable to critical.

People are dying for "secrets" to audience growth. There are no secrets. - I've done 3-5 podcast show/week for over a decade. - I ask every guest to help promote my show. - I joined groups where my audience hung out and engaged. Ship + learn + iterate. That's the "secret"

Startups that were created in garages by college dropouts defined the last 30 years of the internet. Startups that are created remotely by pseudonymous identities will define the next 30 years of the internet.
