Tough to say without knowing you, but I’d say figure out what you’re good at, what motivates you and look for people you enjoy working with. Maybe that takes you to a certain industry but maybe not.

I think you’re right. For many businesses the tech is a background enabler rather than the focus. But if you find the right business and culture and leverage the tech, that’s the sweet spot. Tough to find though…

The impact was nuanced, and depended on the specific policies in place. Some businesses had business interruption insurance which paid out. Many policies exclude highly correlated events such as pandemics. And then think about specific even

There are institutional funds but generally it’s a small market with very limited retail presence. Schroders has one. (Artemis is a great source of info in the space - niche trade publication.) https://www.artemis.bm/ils-fun

He clearly feels he is superior to everyone else, including the interviewers. He feigns humility but interrupts repeatedly.

This connects with me. More about helping people do what they already have in mind. Connecting with people and finding overlapping interests rather than a manipulation mindset.

There are a things we can all do in our own lives, not necessarily running Apple. I for one am grateful not to be in the public spotlight running Apple! Everyone has opinions. It’s what you do with them that counts.

It's a valid point. As with anything there is balance. Consider the value of being able to plan some aspect of one's life. This generally goes up as one gets older and is responsible for others.

I liked the older thinner phones for the pocket-ability. Less of an issue with jeans but more so with lighter shorts or suits etc

Sounds like you’ve got a solid handle on things - go do it!

You do get to decide (buy another product with a different value proposition).

I often find that Claude introduces a level of complexity that is not necessary in my cases. I suspect this is a function of the training data (large repos or novel solutions). That said, I do sometimes find inspiration for new techniques i

It’s an analogy.

Just to add I think the same applies in business and in life. So if you’ve got managers who have this vision and cascade it down then things become easier on the ground / the design.

One perspective: I built a business on python. It’s an accessible and powerful tool.

To me it sounds like the symptom (emotion) of someone who deeply cares. These things need to be well-placed to be effective. Sounds like it was.

I'm not sure the idea that a developer maintains a high level understanding is all that controversial...

Very well said.

In my experience it’s also a question of focus and basic goal setting. What you care about, balanced against everything else in your world.

There have always been shareholders. Now you can be one too, if you would like.

The reason insurers ask about weight loss is that it could be a sign of a (severe) undiagnosed medical condition - e.g. they should be contacting a doctor(!)

Love the business. Appreciating every market is different… the Greek islands might be interesting to you.

Stepping back from the specifics these are stories of human nature. We tag “complacency” as bad, but I think it’s just a byproduct of our reliance on heuristics and patterns which is evolutionarily useful overall. On the other hand we worry

My perspective is more as a small business founder creating an app to solve real world problems in a small market, rather than a VC/Silicon Valley. (So I don’t know for sure how my views stack with “conventional” business wisdom. Maybe
