No, came the dry reply. There are 8 billion humans in the world, and a few hundred mountain gorillas. If we’re shooting something, it’s not going to be a gorilla. The guest was silenced. (2/2)

We did $100k in revenue after realizing that our customers hate software. Our first product was an AI accounting tool for CFOs. I did 35 sales calls and got $0. So we switched to being a service.

They only want their problem solved (bonus points if they don't have to use the tool) in a fast, simple way. Just sell the outcome.

I took the investor table from Cursor's $60B exit, and turned it into this graphic with Claude. Some quick notes: each box represents an investor, and the scales are in 4th root (for better visibility). x-axis is money in, y-axis is money out. Each box spans the approximate range of both. The further up and left a box, the larger the ratio of outcome. The boxes try to capture some of the ambiguity on investment size / terms, and range of outcome possible.

Thrive, while a bit later, made the most in absolute value, netting somewhere in the range of $7B to $11B

Tesco hopes you forget your clubcard so they can get away with charging you £6 for milk, then you realize that the clubcard price of the milk is the same as it is everywhere else that doesn't need any useless card to begin with.

Unemployment is up. Vacancies are down. The retail and hospitality sectors are shedding jobs. At the same time, there are encouraging signs of a productivity revival. Are these things related – and was this part of a deliberate government strategy all along? 🧵

When I see the photos of Rye Lane that are meant to instill disgust and indignation, I merely feel nostalgia for the most interesting place I ever lived.
