@b_nicks11 If gratitude were obvious, it wouldn’t be the most commonly recommended practice among mental health professionals or from coaches leading up to big moments.
"Move fast and break things" is outdated advice for startups.
Software ate the world—and there's more competition than ever.
Our startup learned the hard way to ignore this advice, and this is what happened:
I didn’t know this was common until I started hiring drivers in the transportation industry.
Lower wages or no job at all will not help families recover. It’s dumb.
It’s dumb to revoke a person’s DL for unpaid child support. Yes, it’s worse to not pay child support. It’s still dumb and counterproductive for lawmakers to all but guarantee delinquency by ensuring they lose their jobs.
@MatScouts1 This single article from the NYT cites “verifiable” and “public” data that confirms points 3, 4, 6, 8, 11, and 14. For those wanting sources (help w Google) it may be a good place to start. At some point, it’s crazier to deny/ignore corruption.

@NHammondDesign @frantzfries Unemployment is a tricky metric because of how it’s defined. e.g. People without jobs must be “looking for work” to be considered “unemployed.”
This example from @frantzfries seems like a more telling view of reality.
@alexiskold I’ve brushed off every rec on how to send a cold email. I don’t send them.
I also refuse to email our deck. My busiest slide has 7 words on it.
If you want operate with no context, I’m not interested. Maybe this is a mistake, like @johnennis said, but we’re @ $1.35M.
@businessbarista 💯 We do not a conference to get hyped about what we’re building @get_mylo and I do not want to report a conference in our update. #gettowork
Delaying hard decisions kill startups.
Feature not working? Sunlight it.
Employee not working out? Let em go.
Go to market not working? Fix it.
If something is not working please do what you know you have to do as a founder because you don't have forever.
If you work at a startup do whatever you can to make your CEOs life easier because it’s mutually beneficial.
The company ideally grows faster and you get promoted, everyone wins.
