Getting candidates from first contact to an offer faster than large companies is a competitive advantage for startups. Getting this right will increase your offer acceptance rate and decrease the likelihood of getting into a bidding war due to multiple offers.
Creative freedom, recognition, ownership, decision input, challenge...These are just a few of the things you can optimize for in your career. Being intentional about what matters to you is so important to finding the right fit.
The NBA Draft gets twice as many viewers as the average nationally televised game. People love potential.
Understanding your needs and enforcing your boundaries is a sign of greatness not weakness.
Innovation happens at the periphery. No one knows what the future looks like better than those on the front-lines building it.
When it comes to software, easy to use does not necessarily mean easy to build. What you see as a user is often just the tip of the iceberg.
I have a personal rule for buying books: If it takes > 30 seconds to decide on whether to buy - stop overthinking and make the purchase immediately. How do you make book-buying decisions?
Is your startup running a social experiment or a science experiment? An interesting way to think about risk and progress. notboring.co/p/social-vs-sc…
"Plans are useless. Planning is indispensable." - Dwight D. Eisenhower
Gotta get some implementation detail past an ivory tower architect? Don't say "we're gonna do this forever". People will get upset. Just say "we're going to run an experiment". No one wants to object to rapid experimentation.
The US has a gun homicide rate 26x and a gun suicide rate 12x that of other high income countries. You read that right...thats a multiple, not a percentage. The science is clear: more guns = more gun deaths. It's past time we did something about this.
“If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes really well, then you did it.”
Non-consensus opinion: Years of experience is an almost completely useless metric for assessing an engineers skill with a specific technology (language, framework, tool etc).
So many business owners get caught up in “paralysis by analysis” and just never start. I’ve always been a rapid implementer and believe the “sell it first, build it later” mindset. It has personally served me well.
If you are a software dev make sure you take the time to read through the official docs on all the key frameworks you are using. There are usually critical insights you will miss if you just rely on experiential learning only.
Really love this (attached) Jobs quote.
A lot of people suffer from this very serious disease…it’s the disease of thinking that a really great idea is 90% of the work.
Client asks you to jump: Mediocre Consultant: "A bunny-hop is technically a jump right?" Good Consultant: "How high?" Great Consultant: "We can accomplish the same thing faster and cheaper without needing to jump at all"
Onboarding a new hire into a remote work culture? Consider having other employees in that city/state/region reach out and make themselves available for questions. It goes a long way towards making the new hire feel welcome.
A person's success in life can be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.
