This past week I rode a lyft to a tech meetup in Atlanta. The drive was about an hour away, which meant that the fastest route was through the interstate (I75). The car was a 4 year old Toyota Camry. It looked very nice from the outside and

Go to a store nearby. Buy something. Put it on Ebay. Sell it. Tinker with the product description and price and measure results. Rinse and repeat. You will learn more than many wanna bes.

Well, people who care enough about reading to pay money for a better reading experience will want your product. Now, who cares enough about reading? People who have to read and people who want to read. One the side of people who want to rea

May seem like I'm shitting on your product, but I'm not. I do a good amount of hiring[0] and have had to use services that provide similar outcomes[1]. It's mostly a waste of time and am currently working on removing that par

Not only the mundane, but the amount of decision making involved. You cant spend too much time and energy on decisions. Most people dont like making decisions. There are many kind of decisions. If you grow big enough, the well being of your

Its not like being a founder is a magical thing. Honestly, being a founder is just someone who can grind it out under adverse conditions. Like any other shit job out there. The point still stands. If you cant grind it out and sell, the core

Six hour test on top of whatever time you spend interviewing. Because you know companies will still have you interview.

Makes me think of all the code lost to poor storage. Like all my C64 related code from the 80s and 90s. I had hundreds of programs typed in regular notebooks. The code for this game is really readable and easy to pick up after all these yea

What is the outcome that you desire? Dont just join twitter. Do it with a purpose in mind. It is certainly very useful, but having no strategy will net you zero results. Figure the outcome first, otherwise you will miss.

Truth is you are in a market that is hard to automate at a small size. Most sales happen through offline interactions (as youve discovered). You can still try and automate certain things, however, the core of your sales process is and will

In previous threads, I proposed a similar idea to the founder of CandyJapan. I dont know if he took them as a cue to try out youtube. Either way, this is not what I originally proposed. This was my last comment in the matter: https:/&

Those crate engines sure are a great deal. Back in the 90s you had to get an aftermarket block, heads, crank, pistons, and rods for four that (not adjusted for inflation) to even consider reliably making over 400hp on anything. I remember s

No, you are a manufacturer. You are producing a product from raw materials with the goal of turning a profit. The issue with this model, when applied to digital products, is that the tolerance for execution is diminutive. A good idea for a
