The amount of equity you'll get in a startup decreases exponentially as your employee number increases. If you want to get rich from a startup, you have to be there early, either as a founder or an early employee.

Do the companies now paying for employees' abortions (which, I guess, you call your boss and ask?) cover miscarriage leave? Leave to care for sick children? Leave to care for elderly parents? I appreciate the efforts, but don't lose sight of the bigger issues & battles.

A challenge to all the people who’ve had some success in what they do.... A lot of expansion doesn't come from learning something new...it comes from rearranging the expertise you've got. How can you better use what you already know, in a new way, to be 10x better? 1/

Public service announcement: It is, in fact, not the case that hiring has stopped in e.g. startups or the tech sector. Many people overrotate on bad economic news, particular narratives they perceive to be true within community, last five conversations they had, etc.

"There are roughly 27m software developers in the world. Only about 18k of them, or 0.07%, work on crypto or web3 every month. Those 18,000 active engineers have created $2 trillion in market cap across the top 100 projects - $112m of value per person." —@ttunguz

For coding interviews, can we stop watching someone live code? That pressure isn’t going to help the candidate
