“recently downgraded two potential startups based on data feeds to personal projects”
Do you mean as an investment or place to work? And what type of data feeds were they, broadly?
- theobeers 5y agoI think they were referring to their own startup ideas. (I was also momentarily confused because "downgrade" tends to be used in the context of investments.)
- delusional 5y agoI think this might be a case of the "grind" mindset, where ones own time is also seen as an investment. Hence the investment lingo.
- Eric_WVGG 5y agolol. Was I using investment lingo? How humiliating. I managed to put together an MVP of a service that would push notifications for stuff like "tell me when my favorite musicians/novelists/artists have new consumable," all the while thinking "if any of these people were smart they would have done this a decade ago." Of course Amazon started pushing out the book stuff, and Apple Music with music, just a few months after I got the back-end APIs working. uh, so yes… grind, I guess
- 0des 5y agoits not the grind minset, thats reality. time has a cost.
