The easiest way to start a SaaS is by entering a crowded market with BIG competitors. No need to validate, just: - build and launch - be more affordable - ship features faster - listen to every user you get

The past 10 years I made companies $2.4 billion by fixing one piece of their business: Their pricing. Why'd they need me? Because even the smartest people don't know how their pricing strategy should change over time. So here's the exact pricing path to follow for growth 👇

Reminder: If you avoid even the potential for embarrassment, mistakes, failure, humiliation, or ridicule, you are really avoiding the potential for success. Vow to stick your neck out in 2023. It's worth every bit of ridicule to get the win.

The Socratic method is the foundation of law school instruction but also a useful business tool. You ask a series of ?s to challenge underlying assumptions & reconstruct a logical argument chain. Useful for ID'ing strategic errors, customer acq, creative thinking, etc.

Q. My partner told me about a love story between Pavlov's dog and Schrödinger’s cat. Would you happen to know the name? A. It rings a bell, but I’m not sure if it exists. 😏

Senator Cory Booker: "The president of the United States is a subject of an ongoing criminal investigation...that could end up before the Supreme Court," so any Trump SCOTUS nomination should be "delayed until the Mueller investigation is concluded."

A man hits a very large, slow-moving, peaceful creature at close range with a high-powered rifle to help him feel like more of a man. Legal, endangered, threatened, or none of the above, it's still wrong and barbaric. Please RT if you think all trophy hunting should be outlawed.

The folks from @OpenAI shared how they scaled Kubernetes up to 2500 nodes. It shows how you can tune your cluster components (etcd, container runtime, controllers,..) in various ways to support the increasing load. A great read, highly recommended: blog.openai.com/scaling-kube…

These wise words were shared with me when I was young. This is a special note to all of you chasing twitter tech celebs. Most of them only tweet their successes and gripes. They are silent about their shortcomings as humans. xitter.cf/bryanl/status/95296610…

The trick to is to constantly evaluate yourself against yourself. Am I better than yesterday, last week, last year? Don't compare yourself to others as it will be a constant let down.
