I don't have a CS degree...or any degree. Some of our best engineers at GitHub never even graduated high school. But also, some of them had a BS, masters, or PhD in CS. Amazing programmers come from all backgrounds. Using formal education as a hiring filter is nonsense.

Most people strive to be first to market but another clever approach is being intentionally *delayed* to market. You let a few companies form, validate what the demand is like, discover big gaps unsolved, and you narrowly solve a different big problem vs the most competitive one.

The best investors do nothing 99% of the time. They sit on their hands, sometimes for years, preparing. Reading, thinking, analyzing. Then, when the right opportunity comes along, they strike with conviction. It sounds easy. It’s not.

This is one of my favorite little bits of The Elixir programming language syntax that not everyone is aware of

Just a reminder on competition and crowded spaces: By the time DoorDash was founded, GrubHub, Caviar, Postmates, and OrderAhead all existed and were venture funded. Didn’t matter. Today, DoorDash is going public at 4x of those competitors combined validation.

This is so 1000% true. #dev #startup “Why Senior Engineers Hate Coding Interviews” by Adam Storm medium.com/swlh/why-senio…

The government should not bail out failing, woke banks. And it certainly shouldn’t be setting up a centralized digital currency. In South Dakota, I VETOED a bill that paved the way for a CBDC, and I will continue to ensure our citizens have economic Freedom.

The movement to establish a central bank digital currency is an attempt to surveil & control the finances of Americans. It would violate privacy, limit consumer choice & undermine market competitiveness. CBDC has no place in FL & we are proud to lead the fight against it.

This is blasphemy. Stop making excuses for this. The Lord will not bless this, He will righteously judge this.
