[Paul Graham @paulg]

A startup doesn't have to be your life's work, but if it is, you become much harder to defeat. You play the long game and you outlast everyone. Because practically everyone else is an opportunist by comparison.

@naval @nivi an episode on this?

[Kunal Shah @kunalb11]

Any incredibly hard thing pursued diligently has an ability to feel like purpose. Those who chase hard problems often never struggle to find purpose in life.

Inefficient products are results of inefficient cultures which are results of inefficient management.

Most such orgs don't know how to put the creative talents in the driving seat and end up trading off novelty and rawness for mere productivity.

Looking for the guy who said Google Search is dead after ChatGPT.

[Marc Randolph @marcrandolph]

Somewhere along the way, startups got it in their heads that the way to take care of employees is to throw amenities at them.

Kombucha on tap. Nap pods. Fireman poles between floors. Cold brew, hot yoga, catered lunches Tuesday through Thursday.

It’s ridiculous. None of that is what your best people actually want.

What they want is agency — the freedom to make real decisions and own real outcomes. And they want to be surrounded by other people who are just as talented and just as committed as they are.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

There is nothing more powerful than well-informed optimism. It has to be well-informed though. The "everything will be fine" type of optimism may also be somewhat useful, but it's not as useful as the "Hmm, what if we tried x?" kind.
