Was really awesome getting a bts look at the launch of Million Dollar Weekend! One of my favorite editions I’ve written so far!

[Noah Kagan @noahkagan]

Cool write-up by @sheldonbishop on how we launched Million Dollar Weekend to become an NYT best-selling book!

@thesamparr obvious one, but @paulg

How do you keep talent when your market cap is cratering?

"It's impossible to stop all great people from leaving during tough times.

The real challenge is continually raising the talent bar and ensuring the people who stay, and the next generation you hire, are exceptional.

Great organizations aren't built by never losing talent, but by consistently finding and developing the next wave of top performers." @Avishai_ab

How do you think about talent retention in a world of “hot AI” companies @zoink @akothari @howietl

@paulg its a human

Is this really cheating or lazy teaching? The students are using the tools they have at their disposal (as they can in the real world). If the lecturer can’t develop a test that truly tests the students knowledge (or some proxy capability) then it is just lazy teaching.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

A Brown professor gave his students a take-home midterm exam. After suspecting many cheated using AI, he made the final in-person. The orange dots are the midterm scores and the gray dots are the final scores. Looks like all but 3 cheated on the midterm.

@danielcberk The days compound exponentially

[Sheldon Bishop @sheldonbishop]

@omooretweets And speak to 100 customers before the day ends

[Sheldon Bishop @sheldonbishop]

@Jicecream To review all your work with opus 🤣

[Sheldon Bishop @sheldonbishop]

@rabois @oh_an_opinion It is a clear foul. What is the case that the challenge was not a foul?

[Sheldon Bishop @sheldonbishop]

@paulg The anti-jargon test

[Sheldon Bishop @sheldonbishop]

@jasonlk the age of more work

[Blake Scholl 🛫 @bscholl]

Critics: I’ll believe it when I see it
Builders: I believe it so I’ll make it

[Sheldon Bishop @sheldonbishop]

@clairevo @TheLoneWulf_WA Interesting. Looking forward to it!

[Sheldon Bishop @sheldonbishop]

@clairevo @TheLoneWulf_WA Do you think this is the harness of the model? Or does it matter because they come together 😂

[Sheldon Bishop @sheldonbishop]

@oh_an_opinion @rabois Bro it was a foul. I remember before var all the post game shows were about referee decisions. At least we get accurate decisions now

[Sheldon Bishop @sheldonbishop]

Keep going for 3, 6, 9 months. If you want advice that will actually help, just assume everything is your fault. The copy isn’t good enough, the deals aren’t good enough, etc. those are all places you can improve on. And space for improvement is awesome, it means you can get better.

Just be relentless and continuously improving. It will feel like you’re making no progress until all of the sudden you do. Don’t give up.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

If you want to start a startup, don't learn "entrepreneurship." Learn how to build things. The hard part of startups is not "entrepreneurship" but product: to know what to build, and to be able to build it.

[Sheldon Bishop @sheldonbishop]

@jasonlk Even think about it from the user's perspective. It's awesome whenever I speak to a founder/ceo who genuinely cares

[Sheldon Bishop @sheldonbishop]

@venturetwins That’s the new French breakfast
