Similar to how OpenAI like to use the term "Member of Technical Staff" for Engineers, they like to use "Member of GTM Staff" for their sales team. I am a sales recruiter, and I was…

I saw someone put phrase it as being "above or below the algorithm" Chilling and true.

The E Myth is another good example of a business book with a relatively simple message wrapped in an enjoyable narrative.

This is a deluded way of thinking the world works. Is it how things should be? Probably. But this is nothing close to reality.

I don’t mind it. I drive a v8 Mercedes and love the sound etc... but at the same time, I’ve moved to NYC so the odds that I even keep a car aren’t particularly high.

Couldn't agree more. I'd hazard a guess that 90% of car users aren't wedded to using gas. There are enthusiasts, but they are a small minority.

I would be really interested in understanding the breakdown in F150's as sold by model number. For a lot of truck owners, there's going to be some resistance because they love havi…

The company valuation of BMW and VW isn’t the problem- it’s a problem for Tesla. There aren’t enough nerds in the world to justify it’s insane stock price.

If you are buying a Taycan you would not even consider the Model 3 and if you want to drive far you buy an ICE.

This is also predicated on the idea that every part of Tesla's operations are substantially better than existing automakers. Do people really believe that Tesla is literally run 10…

The problem with buying cashflow through ETF investment is you have to make so much money to get to any real level of cashflow. Buying $30k of index funds will set you back ~$50k p…

Phoning for anything is my favorite thing. Absolutely I want to talk to customer service. No I don’t want this automated (especially when I’m trying to get myself a slightly better…

It’s a very human tendency: we can see the downside so obviously, but the upside is a lot harder to see. Open offices: another amazing example of enormous value destruction in the …

I’m saying those programmers should have secretaries to help them with all of the admin etc. They shouldn’t be booking their own flights, or making dinner reservations, or running …

We've replaced secretaries with software, and now we have people making $150k+ a year busy working on things that they should be paying someone $40k a year to handle.

It's the exact same behavior, but bred in a different environment.

Also speaking as a recruiter. We often get ghosted by candidates. As an industry, recruiters (myself included), need to do a better job managing rejection. But it is not as simple …

> You say that you know more about what students want and need than themselves. I doubt that. This seems like a bad frame to look at the situation from. We don’t know what we don’t…

Yeah that's 100% the truth. You also have to assume that multiple things happen at the same time - what happens if you buy a house two weeks before you get laid off at work and tha…

I mean it's "smart" and "efficient" but it's also fragile. The simplest way to manage your finances is to avoid debt wherever possible (especially consumer debt). Very hard to go i…

There were a ton of Quibi ads on Tik Tok. But it doesn't have the virality and originality, and honestly I don't think it ever will. Big production budgets and incredible story lin…

Mailbox and Sunrise being acquired are some of the saddest losses over the last few years. Both superior products, that would remain extremely competitive today. I'm extremely bitt…

Probably - I think raising a family will probably be a catalyst. Pros: pretty, relatively relaxed lifestyle, much lower pressure than the US, minimal gun violence, healthier attitu…

This is a great piece. I immigrated from New Zealand to America. It's interesting being in the US and hearing people exalt New Zealand. Same thing, some pros, some cons.
