It turns out the lesson that was re-learned in the last few years is that the biggest cheat code in startups is to find out there’s actually no cheat code. No shortcuts. Just build relentlessly and don’t get over your skis. That’s the lesson for 2023.

9 uncomfortable truths about engineering and tech right now. How Twitter might play out, the ramifications, and what Elon’s calculus might be. Disclaimer: Don’t shoot the messenger. I’m relaying observations through a lens of engineering for over a decade & managing engineers.


Check out @ClaimerApp’s Product Hunt launch. I first met their founder, @AssembledAdam, a couple of years back and wow has he consistently impressed me 👏

📣 My startup, Claimer, has just launched on ProductHunt for the first time! Please check out the page and show the team some love - they worked so hard in the last year and really deserve it! producthunt.com/posts/claimer
