> What's the last 10,000+ employee org you founded and scaled? A lot of smart and talented people could do this if given the opportunity. Jack was at the right place at the right t…

Enough is enough. Executives need to do jail time, no bullshit slap on the wrist nonsense.

I appreciate the author’s work and he seems like a good guy. In spite of that, it’s incredibly obvious OpenClaw was pushed by bots across pretty much every social media platform an…

Seems like they’re trying to hire nerds who know a lot about hardware or compiler optimizations. That will only get you so far. I guess hiring for creativity is a lot harder. And b…
