John Carmack’s AGI startup raises $20M from Sequoia, Nat Friedman, and others
- andrewfromx 4y ago"This is explicitly a focusing effort for me. I could write a $20M check myself, but knowing that other people’s money is on the line engenders a greater sense of discipline and determination. I had talked about that as a possibility for a while, and I am glad Nat pushed me on it,” he said makes a lot of sense. You might write the 20 mil check yourself and then take a day off here, another one there, soon you'll be working 4 days a week.

- throwntoday 4y agoHighly doubt it
- late2part 4y agoYou doubt there are two productive developers over 70 years of age?
- throwntoday 4y agoYes
- SirFlamenco 4y agoStudies have consistently shown that workers are more productive when they work 4 days a week…
