Every piece of advice I could think of after 4 years as a Solopreneur. 1. Pessimists are often right, and optimists are often wealthy.

ChatGPT is incredibly limited, but good enough at some things to create a misleading impression of greatness. it's a mistake to be relying on it for anything important right now. it’s a preview of progress; we have lots of work to do on robustness and truthfulness.

It’s time to say it out loud: BUILD LESS SOFTWARE Centering too much on adding new functionality will break your product, your users, and your team. Maybe your business. 1/10

Best of luck in your next venture. Tip for next time: don't be so mysterious. People don't have time for teasers. xitter.cf/QuestAudio/status/1488…
If you have a podcast, like this tweet for a preview of what we've been building. (Spoiler: It's neat.)

As a start-up your biggest competitor is indifference. That thing you’ve spent the past 9 months building. People don’t care. They already have a solution that works well enough for them. It’s not great but switching feels like a lot of work, even if your solution is 2X better.

A design-led company doesn't mean your landing page is pretty and slick, it means your product features are driven by your customer's needs and not just the imagination of your executives.

The Simpsons doesn't predict anything we just haven't fixed any of America's problems since 1989.

Thread: A lot of white people were shocked to learn about the bombing of Tulsa from HBO's "Watchmen" while most black people are familiar with the bombing of Black Wall Street. Even historians mention these events as isolated incidents.

Yes, I am famously under-scrutinized. xitter.cf/RudyGiuliani/status/11…
WP, NBC, and CNN are going after me because I’m the messenger, and covering up the message, Dem corruption. Meanwhile, they have yet to ask Biden difficult questions because he is protected and immune like the Clintons and crooked Clinton Foundation!

Now: for white people who want to do better. Sponsor **yourself** to read one of these critical race theory books. Pay what you think your awakening and path to becoming better is worth. **Commit** to teaching what you learn to your white peers and hold them to task. Thread 👇
