Re: A case study in early-stage startup execution
#2Why are all of these things written about the touchy-feely but none about execution? Engineering or sales or marketing or other execution.
Also, there's a hefty amount of BS. Like "updating beliefs" and "don't do BS," which seem difficult to do and impossible to prove.
It's almost as if people are trying to publish self-help material because it's profitable . . .

#6I don’t know about you, but I don’t enjoy working for companies where a major goal is “hustle hard, increase velocity, measure and optimize everything”. For what purpose? Making our bosses richer? Maybe taking 1/100th of the value created for ourselves?
In my experience, really gifted people don’t put up with environments like this. But I guess you don’t want that in employees if you’re trying to setup a grind farm.
And they usually win too, because they’re thinking far beyond “solve the problem in front of you”. While you’re making your tape player meet market KPIs, they’re inventing DVDs.

In my experience, really gifted people aren't very good at putting up with BigTech corporate BS either. If anything, the ambiguity of an early stage startup is a better environment for such people than the rigid shackles of corporate bureaucracy.
