Journey from Entrepreneur to Employee
- andruby 2y agoI haven’t read many stories or posts from entrepreneurs turned employees. This was refreshing, albeit lacking in details.
- MrDHat 2y agoI had the exact same thought when I was transitioning into an employee and have been wanting to write this post for a long a time. I hope to share more details in a few follow up posts soon.
- jimmyl02 2y agoone small idea I read somewhere that I found interesting for thought at a startup: you might work on an entire page that impacts thousands of people at a larger firm: you might work on a single form that impacts millions
- baxtr 2y agoRe your last point: I am not sure if it’s a urban story, but I’ve heard there is an entire team at YouTube working on the play button.
- oytis 2y agoCouldn't keep myself from asking if it's AI generated.
- louwrentius 2y agoIt's AI generated according to on-line AI check tools At this point, HN has to check every submission for AI content I guess.
- Animats 2y agoAh. "Around 3 years back, after spending seven years as an entrepreneur—I found myself at crossroads. Having built startups, one of which was acquired, I decided to step away from the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship to explore what being an employee is like." That reads like the typical press release after a CEO is fired.
- nullderef 2y agoRight? It's generic, nothing far from the stereotypes; no specific information. I also found it repetitive at the end.
- MrDHat 2y agoAuthor of the post here. Yes, AI did help me frame it because I am an average write at best. I have never been a good writer while I have a few experiences to share. I never shared anything earlier exactly because of that reason. AI helps me put my thoughts into a coherent structure.
- tossandthrow 2y agoIt is great! But also very verbose, it would make it. Much easier if there had been a "condense" step.
- bedobi 2y agoEven if the post accurately reflects your lived experience, if it's AI generated, ultimately it is just that, generated by an AI, who is not you. People can smell that from a mile away, and they dislike it. (as they should!) Get over your anxiety over your writing and just share your authentic self. How good or bad a writer you are doesn't really matter. (like OK it has to be legible but beyond that no one is expecting perfection) It's whether the story you're telling, the experience you're sharing etc is thought provoking that matters.
- pavel_lishin 2y ago> AI did help me frame it because I am an average write at best. But what the AI generated is also average at best, and it also stripped your voice from the story.
