@drgurner Instinct is the subconscious processing of real and valuable learnings. Huge mistake to ignore instinct, because taking action on it often leads to what the conscious is missing to also understand what the instinct is trying to say.
i don't understand why people are bearish on data making companies
what data is needed is super unclear and unpredictable. it's highly technical, high taste, and research-heavy. you can't just assemble 1000 people and say "make things"
idk feels to me like there are huge moats in having largest scale workforce, having the best researchers to understand what is important, building relationships with like the 5 labs that exist that are hard to buildup etc
also seems hard for the labs to just do everything inhouse, it's highly complex process and you kinda need founders attention to it
A pattern I’ve noticed: Leadership is taking responsibility when it’s the irresponsible thing to do. Most people take responsibility only when they are clearly at fault. Leaders take responsibility even if what happened wasn’t their fault.
A pattern I’ve noticed in the most successful people: Success is just math.
Hard things + a long period of time x unreasonable effort = win.
People usually underestimate all three variables. They choose work that feels comfortable, quit far too early, or take it easy when they need to go hard. And then wonder why they never got the results they wanted.
You don't need to know exactly where you'll end up. You just need to keep becoming more capable. Capability creates options, options create opportunities, and opportunities create futures that were invisible when you started.
@ecomellor@Nugennath Every big ecom should have first party tracking. Triple attribution(TW) is not the best, it’s well marketed. Which is why you only know about TW and not all the other attribution solutions. What you should choose depends on your team’s technical ability.
@thedennis I.m.o AI is under-utilized for inferring context/patterns. CS tickets are goldmines and accessible by API. Most things that can’t be scraped can be inferred if the data exists. Highly recommend trying it out, it works.
