https://github.com/kohler/click is a library that I've found has a lot of reusability built into it, and operates a lot like snapping Lego blocks together. When you're talking about not being able to reuse co

This article has inspired me to read Andrew Yang's book. As a silicon valley person, I have become part of this bubble. A lot of the things he said apply to me. I've recently tried to understand what it looks like to leave Silico

I actually specifically believe this is a major problem with FB. Maybe if grandma seeing pics on the other side of the world wasn't a thing, people would be more in tune with keeping grandma living within driving distance. FB gives yo

Yes - when I was overseas I kept a "blog" in the form of a website hosted at my university. I'd update it with a few pictures and some text about new things I was experiencing. It was more of a journal and something maybe if

Notes they're including this: "In aggregate, round-trip trades cost about one percent for the bid-ask spread and about 1.4 percent in commissions." Not necessarily the case anymore. The spread on apple is 0.04 cents on $300.

You might want to try filtering a bit better. Joining an early stage Sequoia or A16Z company might help you see what success looks like. Not guaranteed but a decent filtering function if you're looking for a post Series-A company to

It seems like maybe you gave up a little early. Also, 150 users seems like a ridiculously small number for any type of company doing custom software (non F500). ...but perhaps I'm just not very learned?
