An interesting reading on why startups should NOT take VC funding https://www.eidel.io/2023/07/09/vc-funding/

Every life lesson I’ve heard is so easy that could be explained in just a few words, but so hard that could only be got by living through. #мысливслух

When you are making a big decision like to quit something, it feels like the entire world is ending, but when you actually make it, it feels like it is just beginning. #понравилось

Learning is what turns information consumption into long-lasting knowledge. ❌ If I stack up enough information, it will eventually turn into knowledge. “Passive accumulation” isn’t how learning happens. ✅ We retain information only when we put serious effort into the process of learning. Taking notes physically — that is, by hand-writing them — is far more effective than using a laptop. When I create I learn. When I consume I just relax. https://giansegato.com/essays/edutainment-is-not-learning

— It's good to know about multiple things; some of the biggest discoveries come from noticing connections between different fields. — Develop a habit of working on your own projects. Don't let "work" mean something other people tell you to do. If you do manage to do great work one day, it will probably be on a project of your own. It may be within some bigger project, but you'll be driving your part of it. — Many discoveries have come from asking questions about things that everyone else took for granted. — Four steps: choose a field, learn enough to get to the frontier, notice gaps, explore promising ones. This is how practically everyone who's done great work has done it, from painters to physicists. — You need to make yourself a big target for luck, and the way to do that is to be curious. Try lots of things, meet lots of people, read lots of books, ask lots of questions. http://paulgraham.com/greatwork.html

Новым Head of Product в ChatGPT назначили Питера Динга (Peter Deng). Вроде, обычное дело, но тут я увидел резюме чувака. Ловите пример головокружительной карьеры продакта: – был интерном в Microsoft; – начал карьеру в 2006 в переживающем дикий рост Гугле, участвовал в поглощении Ютуба и DoubleClick. – в 2007 перешел в Фейбсук, где отвечал за ленту, чаты, группы и ивенты; – в 2013 стал хедом в Инстаграм когда в нём работало 50 человек и застал рост до сотен миллионов юзеров; – в 2015 перешел в Oculus, где прослыл "парнем Зука по новым приобретениям"; – в 2017, перешел хедом в Uber (аккурат до его IPO), где отвечал за расширение потребительских услуг; – последнее место работы – CPO at Airtable; – ну, и теперь VP в ChatGPT. P.S. Теперь вы знаете парня, который собрал ФЛЕШ-РОЯЛЬ В РЕЗЮМЕ 😎
