A few quotes I found worth mentioning:

This is a work in progress. It will grow as I read more during the holiday season.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
It took me a while to figure it out. doraithodla.com/blog/2023/12…
Passing it on. Thanks, Kirk.

Here is a small test, I tried, just out of curiosity.

I tried a small experiment - using ChatGPT as a Style/Grammar checker.

AIScripting has to get a lot simpler to get wide spread use to build applications.
It is getting better for developers, but look at the tools, libraries, pipelines, concepts they need to learn.
We will have AI systems as smart as humans at some point (may be decades) into the future. We will learn from them and become smarter.
"The really smart thinkers are clear thinkers. They understand the basics at a very, very fundamental level" Naval Ravikanth
This also shows that you have many entrepreneural traits. So why waste them in a job?
If you want to get a job as a software engineer in this market:
Build a side project!
Solve a problem you have with a little web app, built with a backend framework and language you enjoy, and a frontend framework and language you like. Most importantly, ship it to a URL.
Get some customers. React to their feedback over and over again.
When applying for jobs, always include the URL of your side project.
In a single “word”, you can show a CEO/manager/recruiter that you can:
1. Write code
2. Ship to production
3. Solve customer problems
4. Don’t need to be managed
Dream hire!
On learning from the following podcast:
Key to learning any skill is to break the skill into sub-skills and practice it (rehearse it).
Thinking is relentless questioning.

About Naval from Tim Ferris.
These are great qualities of leaders.
Should we have a structure to your day? Are you more creative having it unsructured?
I believe in not having strcture. What about you?
Good one.
A deeper analysis would be great.
1. Pure services vs Products vs Hybrid
2. Small, Medium, Large
3. Emerging Tech vs others
How to value a private company:
Annual revenue x 10 x YoY growth = how VCs would value it
Annual profit x 5 + assets - debts = how independent appraisers would value it (409a)
Annual profit x 10 + assets - debts = how PE would value it
Annual profit x 30 = how the public would value it (if the stock were fully liquid)

Of all the products one generated more than 3 million US $ in 1994-95 and two did 500K$ to a million.
Rest of them made some money but not enough. Every product taught us something about the market and users. Our products were mostly for developers execept InfoMinder.
Nice to see these lists. Budding entrepreneurs need to see this. I have my list but they are on different time scale and I do not have exact revenue numbers.
