Pains me to say this, but even I have changed my stance on remote. We tried hard, developed the best tooling allowed by the tech — and still, remote falls very short of colocation, especially for startups that are still pre-product market fit.

This may shock some people but I just saw a tweet I wildly disagree with — and I just kept scrolling. It is possible to do.

Startups are a career time machine. One day you’re 23, and the first hire. Next thing you know you’re 26 and running a forty person department. – at Texas, USA

The most underrated members of the startup ecosystem are the early employees who join before major funding

a weird thing about early stage startups is that unless i’ve explained to you what we’re doing in the last 24 hours, it’s no longer accurate

Chasing your passion is a bad idea. And it’s the best way to end in heartbreak IMO. If you’re passionate about it so are other people. It’ll be competitive AF. You’re more likely to make emotional (and bad) decisions. Chase opportunity now and your passion later.
