I was in burnout pretty bad while working for a big bank in my country. The work was very stressful, lots of office politics even though they paid pretty well, and my boss were nic…

The only 2 (set of) books I ALWAYS recommend: Incerto by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, and Zero to One by Peter Thiel. Masterful pieces of work. Especially the 2 books in the Incerto book…

Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Ender’s Game

Incerto by Nassim Taleb. Best piece of work I've ever read. I'm re-reading it, and still... what a masterpiece, a mind-blowing piece of work. Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, …

Leonardo da Vinci Biography. Crazy how limitless, how curious he was... He also lived one hell of a life.

agree, figma and sketch have fairly good and interesting articles. used both of them, love their products and vision.

used to be like you few years ago (not YC yet but we are venture-backed). my only recommendation: find a partner and convince him/her to join with you. no need to be technical but …

incredible. sometimes money is not the problem—founders need advice and guidance more than anything (:
