My first job taught me discipline.

It taught me how to listen.

How to take feedback.

How to grow.

And how to cry silently in a bathroom stall.

Everyone’s chasing the algorithm.

Nobody’s asking if the algorithm is worth chasing.

Modern career advice:

Just follow your passion.

And be constantly networking.

And have a side hustle.

And another.

And have experience.

And be confident.

And show humility.

And read voraciously.

And build your brand.

And take time for yourself.

And don’t ever use an em dash.

Real leaders respect weekends.

We value rest.

We believe in boundaries.

There’s no pressure to be online after hours.

That’s why we keep standup short on weekends.

Weekends are your edge.

While others rest, you build.

No distractions.

No meetings.

Pure execution.

By Sunday night, you’ll be three days ahead of the rest.

And four years behind on your personal relationships.

It’s the weekend. Time to touch grass.

We don’t have a product yet.

But we do have a Chief Product Officer.

A Chief Technology Officer.

And a Head of Brand.

Morale is high.

Burn rate is higher.

Startup Bro: We’re revolutionizing dating.

Investor: How?

Startup Bro: Everyone gets a custom AI partner trained on their ex.

Investor: That’s sick.

Startup Bro: Literally.

In today's fast-paced world, we find ourselves at the precipice of mistrust.

Will 'Is it AI?' be the newest phrase to enter the zeitgeist?

Or can we trust in our wives' boyfriends?

We started with an idea.

And we hired one person to build it.

Two to make it look nice.

Ten to tell us how to grow it.

Now we have no product, a Notion workspace and a podcast.

Hot takes from a podcast:

"AI allows anyone to build complex apps with no code"
You say complex, I say cookie cutter.

"AI is evolving like a new, uncontrollable species"
A species born of reddit quips and parroted conspiracies.

"AGI is just around the corner."
There's always another corner.

My computer science degree did not prepare me for a career in tech.

I wasn’t taught how to build, scale or maintain.

I wasn’t taught how to delegate, collaborate or communicate.

But I was taught Java

I tried to organize a hide-and-seek tournament at work…

But good players are hard to find.

I wish dentistry was like software engineering, where I could just call up a friend, who knows a friend, who is a dentist, and can get my tooth fixed for a free dinner.

Yes, I do use “AI”. But by golly I’m still bearish on it.

People can be wrong and right at the same time.

Elon's a fan of reducing meetings. Agreed.

Elon's a fan of reducing welfare. Disagreed.

That’s why I don’t indulge in a cult of personality.

Unless it's by Living Color.
