There's more context at https://github.com/charlesfeng/startup-school-2013/blob/master/PhilLibin.md https://github.com/charlesfeng/startup-school-2013/blob/mast... - "You shouldn't even make friends with people you don't see starting a company with — why bother? You only have so many best friends, so use those resources wisely."
Doesn't sound like a fun way to live.
- LinaLauneBaer 13y agoThanks for the context. The additional context does not really make the statement any better IMHO. Starting a company with one of your friends has a lot of "drawbacks". If your friend is underperforming by a huge margin you often don't want to risk the friendship by telling the truth. Some of my friends have nothing to do with tech or business - most of them enjoy a very low risk way to live (employed with the state or county for example) and don't want to do it any other way. I enjoy a little bit of risk in my live. :) This different way of living does not make my friends any worse or better...
