"Cost savings" is the first benefit any B2B SaaS trots out in any sales pitch. It's not as compelling as you say. The rest of your advice I find rock solid!

"Explore how your product should work, before building it." I fundamentally disagree with this logic. Talk to any designer and they will tell you "to build any product, you must first build a design system." This is an o

This reminds me of the psyop that the British executed in WWII: that carrots improve your vision. They spread that misinformation to cover the fact that they had new radar tech that let them bomb at night. I wonder if the US gov has some ki

Yes, let's compare crypto to the Internet. Bitcoin (i.e. crypto ubiquity) is 14 years old. Equivalent Internet ubiquity was circa 1996, so let's say its 14-year equivalent is 2010. Does crypto of today look like the Internet did i

I ran into this trap very early in my entrepreneurial journey. Developed a data "standard" for events in a vacuum, convinced that nothing else in the world could possibly exist. Then spent a good year learning the lessons that alr

It's unfair to combine "violent" with "property" crime, considering property crime accounts for the vast majority of crime in SF, where lives are not in danger.

These all sound like marketing tactic problems, not fundamental "build something valuable" problems.

But the bug resided in an open source library, not their own code. What else could they say? Bugs will always exist whether you have a QA dept or not.

As most commenters here say, this is a dumb take, all due respect to Andrew. Entrepreneurship is 80% an emotional journey. Getting advice from other entrepreneurs about the emotions of starting and running a company is incredibly helpful. N

Isn't all of this explained in this blog post ( https://openai.com/blog/planning-for-agi-and-beyond )? It makes sense. OpenAI would be dead if they remained a non-profit. They couldn't possibly hope to raise en

This is the right take on the future. Unsurprising that it came from Karpathy all the way back in 2017. The quality of the code is irrelevant, as the point of Software 2.0 is that it's another layer of abstraction on top of traditional
