if you have feedback on the strokes game let me know. feedback for myself is strokesgamed would have been a way better name. Current fixes... I think autoscroll is slightly off. Some of the copy is a little lame and I'll rewrite. Today's Daily Challenge was a little too hard.

@therealGFD If you want to look at how many strokes last year's winner was gaining it'd tell you that no one is eligible to win this year lol. You cannot put together a player that gains 3.3 strokes in this game: https://t.co/h0POXYXteF it's insane.

@Mike_kim714 If you have some downtime today Mike... try getting yourself in this game https://t.co/h0POXYXteF and winning the FedEx Cup. Good luck this week!

[Wyatt A @softywear]

Some real disrespect to Scottie to have him behind Rory. You have to put together Rory's best year in every SG category to get him to how good Scottie was last year, and Scottie is still the best in the world by a ton right now. Try and build someone better, you can't https://t.co/ucqDi4WvKy

@PGASplits101 @TheOpen As such a strokes gained junkie you might have some fun trying https://t.co/h0POXYXteF
try it on blind mode all time if you think you REALLY know your historical players. even current (last years stats) is tough blind. should rename the game "beat scottie"

[Wyatt A @softywear]

Other features to work on... add player comps based on your season. "You finished above X and below Y in the FedEx Cup. Your SG profile is most similar to <player> last year."

[Wyatt A @softywear]

I know the golf gambling community is one of the primary end users of SG data too... there's probably a sim mode that's course specific / tournament specific in the future but that'll require some more thinking.

[Wyatt A @softywear]

@GolfRamble It's tough to appreciate just how good he is. I put together https://t.co/h0POXYXteF and beating Scottie's year last year is WILD. I thought he was an iron player... he's the best iron player but he's just about the best at everything.

[Wyatt A @softywear]

Getting PGA Tour Agents and Players to engage in my quest to sell sponsor inclusive gear has proven more difficult than I thought. Built https://t.co/h0POXYXteF as a way through the side door. It also makes you appreciate that the guys who are really good are good at everything.

@JustinRayGolf As the strokes gained king you might enjoy https://t.co/h0POXYXteF

@CPowers14 Second in SG App last year to Scottie and he's doing crazy stuff like this. If you think you know ball try this out: https://t.co/h0POXYXteF

Academics are pretty uniformly low ambition, low agency and have low risk tolerance - tech sales almost always requires the opposite.
The earnings are about 3x what you get from the "university recommended jobs" that are at Fortune 50s where career progression takes decades but it requires a willingness to accept that you could get laid off for reasons outside of your own performance.

[Wyatt A @softywear]

This concept needs to be expanded everywhere. Tech largely operates a positive sum game, but there ARE zero sum games. Brands compete for attention which is zero sum. Companies compete for talent which is zero sum (Nikesh from Palo Alto Networks didn’t get that - B players in AI are still B players and it will still kill you, if every “ammunition” hire in the barrels vs ammunition analogy is more productive then on a competitive basis it doesn’t matter).

Taste is alpha. Like recruiting… you cannot scale it because when the book of business grows a bunch the alpha disappears.

The Thiel Fellowship is way more impactful than slapping an incremental 2 points on a massive endowment. Insanely impactful and you almost never hear about it? And you generally don’t hear about techs impact because the media hates cast the titans of tech in any sort of positive light.

@RobbieV1988104 @drakesmith__ You’re really saying that with a consistent shot shape then the dispersion pattern doesn’t match this oval (which is probably true for most). Dispersion patterns aren’t perfect ovals for most and that means the optimal place to aim can be different depending on your pattern.

In the 2010s there were people who said “no one will be willing to get in a car with random people”, Uber and Lyft proved that wrong. Over time as they switched toward profitability they pushed the leisure drivers out of the market through much higher take rate.

High take rate pushed the casual drivers out and you get people who are pushed out of the typical labor market who are able to drive for ride share. That brings TONS of bad behavior. Roughly 1/10 of my rides now have someone who clearly isn’t the profile picking me up presumably either because 1) they’re not allowed on platform, or 2) they try to game the driver incentive system.

As a rider that breaks the trust and is pushing the threshold of my own risk tolerance.

@nrmehta As a guy who takes a lot of cold calls partially to see what resonates… this one has gotten a lot more common in the last 6 months.

@tbpn @nikesharora The point of B players is that they’re not at the top of the distribution. “Democratizing intelligence” just means there’s a new meaning of B player. So lazy

[Wyatt A @softywear]

@geodaniels @nico_laqua @karrisaarinen And the important part is bezos never pushed “work every day all the time”. It was “serve the customer as best as possible”, which tended to yield high quantities of work because most of the time the work was more operationally intensive than creative.
