Biggest issue with this language. But... fairly trivial to implement codegen with gleam/glance[0]. No good libraries do this well right now (e.g. support for discriminated unions).…

I am actually the author. You're right that mathematically, a function with constant (or no) growth is O(n)and also O(n^2), and O(anything_that_grows_faster). My use of "O(n) start…

Addressed in the footnotes: > [2] Perhaps choosing a better two functions could more closely explain the growth dynamics of network effects, which could be more exponential. I thin…

I actually passed my discrete math class and final a few days ago and got the big O vs Theta vs Omega question right. The reality is that companies often underperform their best ca…

Only in algorithmic analysis. Big-O generally is used to describe and classify any arbitrary function.

I think any prospecting founder should be able to answer the question "will it always take a fixed amount of work to get each new customer?". Generally if you have some sort of ide…

Yeah sigmoid is good. I kind of hint at this when I mention "saturate their TAM at some rate". You can think about it like we are looking at the concave up portion of the sigmoid o…

Experience != talent. Perhaps a better way to phrase it is that they hire the minimum needing to succeed in a well defined role. Startups aren't afforded this comfort as the roles …

Sure makes sense.

I use business, startup, and company interchangeably. Generally I tried to use business for O(n), startup for O(n^2), but I guess I wasn't strict with my usage... Perhaps they are …

Title just sounds better that way. The best part about Purdue is that I can use “top CS school” and “random state school” depending on which sounds better.
