This, plus if you see them mentioning the Henry Ford ‘quote’ about horses you can reliably close the browser tab because they’re about to build a straw man argument against doing basic customer/user research.

Suggestion: if/when this expands to include life science papers add an ‘in mice’ tag. It’s frustrating to read amazing research paper titles only to find out it was done with mice.

Is it though? 1% of the time an ad helps me discover an interesting product I wasn't aware of. That's still better than the value crypto has added to my life.

Ahh nice catch. Didn’t realize it was such a popular name!

There is a YC startup named Artifact. I wonder if the founders will defend the name like Instagram did with people using ‘gram’ in their name. That would be some nice karma.

I also didn’t receive a notification about it, but some good samaritan HN user posted days before to give people a heads up. That’s the only way I found out.

I’ve noticed the same thing. It’s awkward to send a ‘friend’ request after one round, yet if you enjoyed the round it would be great to do another.

This is a perfect case study for someone who should/could have used a no/low code tool to build a MVP. Outsourcing dev as a non-technical founder is extremely difficult to get right.

Just curious - was this a result of your team ‘building in public’ (i.e., sharing regular updates publicly on Twitter or other communities as you build)? I’ve seen more and more cases of this happening when founders build in public, especia

The issue isn’t taking equity. In theory, taking equity aligns incentives between the agency and founder for the long term. The issue is with how these firms are marketing themselves to founders. It’s misleading and clouds the (already clou

For any would-be founders who are considering finding a ‘venture studio’ to apply to after reading the post, beware of this: Lately many dev agencies have been repositioning themselves as ‘venture studios’ as a way of differentiating themse

There is a newsletter that finds stories of people being successful building in public and gives readers ideas for how to clone them. Ironically, that newsletter has also been cloned multiple times. Entrepreneurship is difficult enough. I d

First three comments were from crypto apologists who promptly flagged it.

Exactly. I worry good emerging tech will get a bad rep as a result of Web3 shills trying to lump them in with their ‘product’ to pump their crypto holdings.

Fill in the blank on this sentence a few times without thinking too much: “It’s hard for me to _________________.” Then, to make sure you’re not BS’ing yourself ask this follow-up question for each answer: “Have I taken any action to fix th

I get what you’re saying and agree, but the synchronous nature of Discord and Slack aren’t the best interaction model for what you’re describing. Async forums (which have existed since the beginning of the web) are much better suited for th

I don't understand why companies are building customer communities on Slack or Discord. I kind of get it for consumer brands where there is a natural passion around the topic/product, but the last thing I want to be invited to as

Perhaps more dangerous is over-reacting to data that was recently gathered (recency/availability bias). I’ve seen founders come out of discovery interviews wanting to pivot right away. In this case it wasn’t necessarily the strength of

I wonder how much of the lack of close friends is due to people moving more frequently. After college most of my close friends did a stint in various cities making it very difficult to maintain a relationship with them. I’d be curious to se
