Show your papers.

Kavanaugh stops.

Your gender? We decide.

ICE doesn't need a warrant.

Abortion is our choice not yours.

Immigrants don't deserve due process.

State universities can't teach Plato.

Civil rights protections are racist.

But vaccination requirements threaten our freedom.

"…if you don’t know why people aren’t buying, that’s the #1 bug and the #1 feature you need to be working on."

#startup #vc #appdev
You know you should be working on Marketing, not features.

You build new features anyway because (a) it's fun and (b) you know how.

Whereas the business usually needs you to learn marketing and get another customer today.
Put down the compiler until you learn why they’re not buying
Technical founders, step away from the code. Gather insights from non-buyers, rather than just adding more features.

Trump sold the oil from a seized Venezuelan tanker for $500,000,000.. Where is the money? He deposited it in a bank in Qatar where Congress can't get to it.
He stole the oil from Venezuela, but he stole the money from America.
Why has Congress not impeached and imprisoned him for his crimes?
