- revskill 3y agoCould i ask how to make such Email list ?
- rckrd 3y agoIt used to be self-hosted, but I recently moved the list to Substack to make it easier for readers if they have an existing Substack account.
- mr_o47 3y agoI love your blog. I have been following your posts for about last two years
- rckrd 3y agoThank you!
- xNeil 3y agoHi there! I adore your blog. Quick question - you have an MBA from Stanford, and you're a software engineer rather than a 'manager'. Are there others like you? I was thinking of an MBA as an option, but was afraid my focus after that might not be technical enough.
- rckrd 3y agoThank you! I'm waiting to write this post (I follow Patrick Collison's advice methodology -- wait 10 years before you can accurately reflect [0]). But here's Marc Andreessen thoughts: > "Seek to be a double/triple/quadruple threat." He talks about the MBA + Undergrad Engineering combo in this blog post. https://fictivekin.github.io/pmarchive-jekyll/guide_to_career_planning_part2.html https://fictivekin.github.io/pmarchive-jekyll/guide_to_caree...

- codetrotter 3y ago> I follow Patrick Collison's advice methodology -- wait 10 years before you can accurately reflect I wish more people did so. The signal to noise ratio of the content on the internet would improve a whole lot.
- xNeil 3y agoThanks you for the link! Is it cool if I email you with further questions?
- rckrd 3y agoYep -- matt (at) matt-rickard.com
- yonz 3y ago"Quite a few people in business have paired a liberal arts undergrad degree with an MBA. They seem to do just fine. But I think that’s a missed opportunity—much better would be an MBA on top of an engineering or math undergraduate degree. People with that combination are invaluable, and there aren’t nearly enough of them running around." I needed to read that today, (Purdue computer eng + Harvard MBA here)
- shafiemukhre 3y agoLove your blog posts! You wrote new blog posts daily, at what time during the day you dedicated for writing, and how long on average for each session?

- bohrium273 3y agoHi Matt! I really liked the format/layout/style of your blog. Could you share what you’ve used to build it?
- lloydatkinson 3y agoThanks for posting - I'd been looking for your site after forgetting what it was!
