Much of my team would probably qualify me as about as buyer-pull as sales people get — I told my VP my strategy for pipe generation in a QBR was exercising more product influence —…

The suburbs around San Francisco don’t really count, in my opinion. I also live in one with a Michelin star restaurant and plenty going on, but I still struggle to participate in a…

I’m sure you already know this, but don’t ever do sales.

Yep. Sounds just like dbt’s approach.

I hear you, but my point is the broad definition of shoe = “thing that protects your feet” shouldn’t be applied to either, anymore than “thing used to drive other things into thing…

“There’s no functional purpose for wearing a watch anymore.” This could not be further from the truth. If anything, the advent of tech watches has made it even more clear to me how…

Their investment in Tesla alone would be more than enough evidence, if they got in near their IPO. Throw in an investment in Apple when everyone started switching to Mac circa 2006…

When you have ADHD, things often only come to mind via triggers, and many people in the tech community have ADHD.

Just end the meal at first throw. After a few hungry angry days, it’ll stop.

Or, ya know, just buying whatever hot new thing that gets invented and has traction.

Wyze and Eufy are so funny. Parallel companies slowly crawling towards remaking every consumer electronic device, but cheaper and better.

This is why I live in California. I want to prefer the outside to the inside. I want fast food to be non-existent. I want walking/biking to be quicker than driving. Anything that n…

To be fair to them, taking a great picture at a pumpkin patch is an American tradition. They often go on the Christmas Card. I was out there attaching a tripod to a fence and tryin…

I agree with most of what you’re saying here, but something that I didn’t communicate well is how far reaching this consumerism is. ‘Everything is bigger in Texas’ is actually a le…

That’s fair. I appreciate the effort you put into the clarification. I do agree with OP, but I do not believe either of us have provided sufficient evidence to establish our assert…

Did I say, “All Americans”? Or was I making a comment about a common occurrence within the country?

Did I make claims about entire countries, or did I readily admit that I was only sharing my own small taste, explicitly stating that it shouldn’t be sufficient for broad conclusion…

My evidence is only anecdotal, but as someone who grew up in, and lived all over America, and lived abroad, I couldn’t agree more with OP. My friends in London, and their friends, …

Of course, but I’m still interested to hear who you would mention.

Who in the world, without some flavor of capitalism, is doing better? China needed to let individuals own companies to get where they are, even if they reserve the right to disappe…

I wouldn't go so far as to say that's the main reason. The main reason is that doing it that way has proven to yield good results. We have work to do on how we manage the negative …

Which is why their heavy investments in making high quality films out of the first film for each character is the real key. Click into each director of the phase 1 films. They were…

There’s a bit of a difference here, in that the landlord is also coming out the other side with an appreciating asset, not pure costs and the consumer coming out of the transaction…
