If you have a problem to solve and the grit to execute/endure, go the startup route. Do not do this if you’re content to shoot an arrow into a wall and paint a target around it. Yo…

Launch it, but don’t tell anyone else about it. Ever.

Email + Excel just isn’t efficient if you’ve outgrown a flat-file system and most paper-based processes. That being said, I get your frustration 100%. The solution: build or befrie…

People. They are the most meaningful part of life and yet, almost always, the most frustrating.

I mean truly exercising freedom - which is the ability to govern oneself. All we can really control is ourselves. Sure, one could be impulsive/reflexive and even reactive, so long …

Basecamp my friend. There are others, but Basecamp is probably the most well known.

Does the product add value and work as intended? Cool. Most products designed by committee don’t.

No. The only social duty one has is to govern oneself and cause no harm. All else is nuance.

Productivity assessment isn’t for people, it’s for things. Devs are people, as such: 1. Do they know what they are doing? 2. Does it work? Simple enough.

Recently, I finished reading Hackers and Painters by PG, so this is going to be blunt, but helpful. You are warned. There is absolutely no surefire way to guarantee that your side-…

Ommwriter. Beautiful, elegant, and very, very simple.

Mute your mic. ;-)

Any program/seminar/book that sells you success without factoring in luck...which is pretty much all of them.

Reading, experiencing life, balance between mental and physical activities, creative self-expression, trying to view the world from a perspective other than my own.

Good explanation. Thank you. You might enjoy this: https://blog.chartmogul.com/saas-pricing-report/ It doesn’t get really interesting until The SaaS Pricing Report.

Now you’re cooking! Conifer looks interesting and the user-provided DB is as well. Both seem like valid ways to potentially provide a greater piece of mind to the SaaS user. Do you…

You're not thinking about this the right way. Check it out: Most users don't have a problem with a SaaS accessing their data - it's 'what happens when they get bought out or close …

So, a lot of the problem users have with SaaS products is worrying about their data. Why don’t one of you super evil Uber-genius types solve this problem with an intermediary? In t…

Currently in SS and have applied to YC W21. Notion + Super.so is fantastic, so that's what I used. Easy, clean, simple. I'm ex-FAANG with two startups under my belt (B2B SaaS and B…
