Beyond Cracking the Coding Interview is finally out! It's the official sequel to CtCI, and we wrote specifically for today's difficult job market. It’s a brand new book, NOT a new edition. Here's what's cool & new about it 🧵

I sent an internal email that Axios got a hold of it. Here it is. This is what it is, there is nothing else no matter how it gets characterized:

Political Update
a16zers,

I wanted to give you an update on my political activity. As I mentioned before, Felicia and I have known Vice President Harris for over 10 years and she has been a great friend to both of us during that time. She’s also been a friend to the firm in our early days, helping with several events at my house when we built the original Cultural Leadership Fund network. As a result of our friendship, Felicia and I will be making a significant donation to entities who support the Harris Walz campaign.

From a firm perspective, we continue to only take positions consistent with our Little Tech Agenda and how the various candidates that support or don’t support policies to build a strong startup technology industry. Although I have had several conversations with Vice President Harris and her team on their likely tech policies and am encouraged by my belief in her, they have not yet stated what their tech policy will be, so the firm will not be updating its position in that regard. As we stated earlier, the Biden Administration has been exceptionally destructive on tech policy across the industry, but especially as it relates to Crypto/Blockchain and AI. So, while I am very hopeful that the Harris Administration will be much better, they have not yet stated their intentions.

Ben

In case you haven't heard, SPACES "is rapidly becoming an exemplar of social innovation and a force for good. As the largest social media platforms continue failing LGBTQ+ users, the emerging titan of tech is making their safety its top priority." 💜

Woody Allen said “80% of success is showing up.” To which @howes28 added, “and the other 20% is refusing to leave.”

I think about that a lot when companies run into tough times. So much of long term company success is built on the team simply persisting.
