So I tried to explain bootstrapping to my uncle in law who owned a successful local bakery.
His answer:
"Ok, so it's just building a regular business right?"
Actually yes, yes it is ...
This is legit founder mode. Buying the talent from open ai is cheaper than the company! Only a founder would or could do this and only if they control their board.
tbh, surprised this Soham Parekh resume even made it to the phone screen:
✦ <=1 year experience in all previous roles
✦ >1 page resume
◆ way too many buzzwords
I cannot be the only one who's thinking this...right??
Soham has reached out. His primary question:
“Asking this as genuine advice since I do really love what I do, have I completely sabotaged my career? What can I do to improve my situation? I am also happy to come clean”
Vox Populi, Vox Dei
Soham Parekh is just the tip of the iceberg, just like this Redditor pulling $800k a yr working 5 jobs.
r/overemployed is a ~500k community where people just maniacally discuss this.
There are 1000s of Soham Parekhs we don't know about.
Zuckerberg spent $500 million on one OpenAI researcher. The US population is 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million and still have money left over.
I had lunch with @dhh yesterday and he made very compelling arguments for Samsung phones and Beelink PCs. I did my best to Nix pill him lol. In any case I think we’re both excited to make Ghostty work really great with Omarchy and identified some key improvements to do that 🥰
