An interesting trend we're noticing at Stripe: US startups are pulling ahead of their peers elsewhere. These charts show averaged revenue growth for software startups in each location. US startups typically grow somewhat faster than those elsewhere. However, since mid-2023, US…
A staggering amount of business success comes down to making a list of the 20 people you need to talk to and contacting them one by one.

Love it @pwang! :)
Simplicity (“the UNIX way”) ceased to be a virtue once people stopped getting penalized for overcomplexity. In fact, creating a convoluted pile of devops scripts can be a great fundraising tool, since many VCs can’t tell the diff between a mountain of tech debt and a moat.
High IQ experts work for mid IQ generalists. What means?

Margin Call 2011 Senior Partners Emergency Meeting HD 1080p
Our original paper on the FermiNet was rejected from Nature, Nature Physics, Physical Review X and Physical Review B (!). It's now the highest cited paper ever published in Physical Review Research.
In 1992 Peter Ratcliffe received this rejection letter from Nature. His findings were not "a sufficient advance in our understanding". 27 years later he won the Nobel Prize for the same discovery. Don't lose faith in the things you believe in.
AI startups are growing so fast because they’re winning big enterprise contracts that usually would automatically go to their established competitors. But the competitors are filled with grumpy mid career engineers who don’t believe in AI so they can’t even build the products.
The most interesting part for me is where @karpathy describes why LLMs aren't able to learn like humans. As you would expect, he comes up with a wonderfully evocative phrase to describe RL: “sucking supervision bits through a straw.” A single end reward gets broadcast across…

Good cofounder > no cofounder > bad cofounder. This may seem obvious but a lot of people don't seem to grasp it.
“if you are world class”
This is actually a worthy addition to your list of hiring principles, if you’re world class in your craft.
Underrated life advice: Build momentum early in the day. One small win in the morning creates energy that compounds throughout the day. Ten minutes of writing. A quick workout. A finished task. Great days are built on tiny wins that spark ripples. Small things become big things.
turns out 9/10 times when you build a general product, the best use cases are in sales and marketing
The word of 2025 AFAICT is "grind". But it's not meant to be a grind. If you don't find solving problems with code fun and interesting, then you might want to try a different career. Or maybe you need a break! (I love it, and it never feels like a grind.)
The older I get, the more I realize your standards decide your future. Every time you let something slide “just this once,” you train yourself to accept less. That’s how goals erode. That's how principles slip. Set your standards. Hold the line. Especially when it’s hard.
One of the things that seems like a huge distraction but has helped give me a pulse on the X userbase: I sit down with 2-5 users per day and go over their timeline and how they use X. And I try to do it with the most diverse set of users: moms, heads of state, scientists,…
Brick by brick is the honest answer. Early on I participated in hackathons, went to events, and worked in early stage startups. It took time.
FYI. Voice memos drive me crazy. They shift all the work from sender to receiver. You hit record and ramble for 3 minutes while I’m stuck listening with no way to skim. You’re trading YOUR efficiency for MY time, and if you keep choosing your convenience over mine, don’t be…
The amount of money your company can make is directly related to the amount of incremental revenue your customers believe you help them make. Revenue your customers believe you help them make is therefore a better KPI than your revenue because you can always figure out how to…
