@deeparocks 😁 good memories

[Matthew Bern @fakematthewbern]

@WiLSONSACCOUNT Good point. What is it that would make chips costly to operate? I figured chips are 100% efficient in converting energy to heat

[Matthew Bern @fakematthewbern]

@WiLSONSACCOUNT So I say chips not energy

[Matthew Bern @fakematthewbern]

@WiLSONSACCOUNT If silicon chips were free then every heat pump would be a cloud computer

Spend 1 year making a very high quality video game…

Or release 20 titles this year, spending maximum 3 weeks on any title

The second option will produce better video games

[Matthew Bern @fakematthewbern]

My first viral game was a prototype that I made in 3 days

Ended up hitting 30K DAU within 2 weeks of launch

Building fast>>>

@deeparocks Founder life 🤣 easier to do the job of 5 than manage 5 employees

[Matthew Bern @fakematthewbern]

If an employee wants a large amount of equity,

That’s a huge green flag

@WiLSONSACCOUNT What % of venture companies actually ever turn a profit?

If a company is good in my eyes it makes enough money that taking additional investor money just slows you down

[Matthew Bern @fakematthewbern]

@WiLSONSACCOUNT For innovative venture dependent startups, absolutely.

But you’ll never find me working at one of those again

I prefer to make money 🙃

[Matthew Bern @fakematthewbern]

@WiLSONSACCOUNT I derive my meaning from how I can change the world for the better with that money. I joined roblox because I saw a young, fast growing, billion dollar industry.

I saw it as the quickest way for me to earn 100Ms

[Matthew Bern @fakematthewbern]

Part of it may just be that I’m riding the high of compounding success, having reached 900K MAU already

[Matthew Bern @fakematthewbern]

I’ve worked 80 hour weeks for over 6 months now…

I feel less burnt out than at the start. Everyday feels like the weekend

Surprised that this happened

[Matthew Bern @fakematthewbern]

Part of the difficulty with hiring for startups:

Hiring anything less than the best of the best will slow me down.

Hundreds of mediocre applicants but I need self starters with exceptional ability or else I wouldn’t even hire you for free

[Matthew Bern @fakematthewbern]

I’m hiring for my game development company

If you have exceptional ability and like video games lmk!
