How to make software faster: Step 1: Measure things to identify bottlenecks Step 2: Remove bottlenecks Sounds very obvious but very few developers actually do step 1 and/or hesitate to do step 2 as it often involves architectural changes.

Surround yourself with relentless humans. People who plan in decades, but live in moments. Train like savages, but create like artists. Obsess in work, relax in life. People who know this is finite, and choose to play infinite games. Find people scaling mountains. Climb together.

1/ Founders, specially early stage ones, should prioritize product maniacally. Always ask does this matter, will this move the needle. Until you find the Magic Moment for the product all else is basically noise. Think hard and scrutinize every pixel, every flow.

Parents focus too much on grades and goals, and too little on generosity. Kids raised to be kind are more successful in school and work—and happier too. At family dinner, don't just ask kids what they achieved. Ask who they helped and who helped them. theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

I've seen far more projects fail from overengineering rather than from underengineering. It's very easy to overengineer and I need to constantly remind myself to keep it simple.

The better you understand an abstraction, the more effective you will be at using it. In this talk, @kentcdodds discusses getting more effective at using #ReactJS Hooks, React Suspense, and JSX: buff.ly/2KpgpNb
