It's harder to procrastinate on "I do this every day" than on "I do this 3 times a week".

Making sleep non-negotiable is the only thing that made me survive building Plane post-YC without any major long term damage to my health.

If you think of "storytelling" as "spin", you refuse to learn one of the most powerful skills to get ahead in life.

It seems like if you have a large Postgres table and need to add a virtual column to it you’re out of luck? Postgres only support stored virtual columns and adding one locks reads and writes.

Second-time founders often see why things won't work first, and forget to ask, what if it does? Experience kills boldness.

As a founder, moving from doer-in-chief to builder-in-chief is *hard*.

Early on, you do everything. But as you grow, you need to start focusing on things only you can do.

Setting the vision, allocating resources, hiring top talent.

Your job isn't to do more—it's to enable more.

🌶️ take: listening to podcasts too much is bad for you

You get used to always having someone in your ears. It makes you less comfortable with silence. Less likely to have your own original thoughts.

AirPods made this much worse for me because they're always in.
