I came back to code because AI made it possible for me to build at a level I couldn't before.
I'm not coding despite being CEO of YC. I'm coding because this is the most important technological shift since the internet and I'd be an idiot to experience it from the bleachers.
I'm 45, running the most important startup institution in the world, and I can ship production software at 2am. That's not a distraction from the job.
That is the job understood correctly.
@arlanr@nozomioai impressed by your grit and commitment, itβs really contagious. Keep shipping and posting - we enjoy it so donβt forget to enjoy it yourself
@hthieblot@CurseForge@Twitch@fdotinc cool! can you elaborate a little more on the fact that you say you're not technical? Which soft skills did you find indispensable when building @CurseForge?
A busy calendar and a busy mind would destroy your ability to do great things in this world.
If you want to do great things, you need free time and you need a free mind.
