The process of self-reflection and personal growth is deeply personal and uniquely human. Emotional intelligence can’t be outsourced, and the journey of self-discovery is as valuable as the destination.

Bonus points if the co is pre-Series A

If you had the opportunity to invest in a product you use and love, which *one* would it be? ;)

I used to discount art as less important than utilitarian work. Now, the older I am the more I value it. Art brings color to life and helps our monkey brain find deeper meaning. (promise I’m 100% sober rn)

“VCs should be wary of applying generic rules in a discipline focused on finding exceptions” Applies to founders as well. There are many frameworks and “best practices” to guide founders but maybe the top 1% should ignore them.

Many of my favorite podcasts have the worst intro music

Getting closer

Writing for @tafokints and doing Melee content was what gave me my start in the gaming scene in middle school. Now we're working together again but on the VC <> founder side of the table 😂

Presenting at a16z @speedrun demo day felt surreal -- sharing our dreams and my story to 100s of the worlds best investors, angels and founders in San Francisco. Ended up kicking my pitch off with a DJ Justin line "SAN FRANCISCO HOW WE FEELING" 😆 (sorry @JackSoslow and https://t.co/rYUPajggex

Software is increasingly nondeterministic. This really messes with traditional processes and dev tools.

Peptides is one of the most interesting areas of health rn. Huberman just released an intro to the space. (I’ve been taking peptides for injury recovery and performance improvements for the last 9 months) https://t.co/9UYvSPGIUU

#1 on Product Hunt rn: An app by a 16-year-old maker based in Hong Kong, @rexan_wong. It couldn't have a more literal name, haha. https://t.co/Z4FZp8p5h9

"Build in public" used to be 50% self-promotion and 50% sharing learnings. Now it's 99% self-promotion.

"Build in public" jumped the shark years ago 😬

Consumer-driven automation is going to break many things

yc alumni day today, so amped

Full post: https://t.co/jODf6eywzF The rest of the co left $126M of severance on the table.

Automattic just paid 8.4% of the co to quit for $30K+. Should more companies offer $ to quit? IMHO, these short-term cost are worth it for most companies that can stomach the expense. https://t.co/FGztGLuz3K

We’re closer to humanoid robots in the home than most people think. I want one.

FYI, expect 40-60% RSVP attrition for a free event. Meaning 40-60% of your RSVP list will not turn up. 10-30% for a paid event. The easiest way to decrease attrition is to send reminder emails. Some of my events have < 10% attrition simply because I sent 2-3 emails pre-event.
