Explained to my 9 yo how programming works:

1. You have something you want to do.

2. You write code to do it.

3. The code doesn't work.

4. You fix the mistakes.

5. When the program works, you realize your idea was wrong.

6. You fix the idea.

7. Goto 2.

I co-founded @reddit 15 years ago to help people find community and a sense of belonging.⁰

It is long overdue to do the right thing. I’m doing this for me, for my family, and for my country.

How To Be Successful
(At Your Career, Twitter Edition)

— Sam Altman (@sama) January 6, 2020

When there is a lot of competition you have basically one tool: specialization

Pick off a smaller set of customers and solve their problems completely and in a deeper way. Focus on one city or locality and drive network effects. Then expand.

Do what the competition won’t.

I’m 48 years old today. I’ve been grinding for 30 years and never been happier.

I’m blessed with an amazing family, meaningful friendships & an embarrassingly charmed career.

I’ve also got an extraordinarily vibrant, intelligent & good looking following on Twitter. ?❤️?

Once upon a time, I only had to check email. Now I have to keep track of: email, whatsapp, wechat, slack, phone, text, and internal forum posts. This doesn't actually feel like progress.

it drives me just a litttttttle bit nuts when other VCs don't answer my emails.. like what did I do to you? is my VC-menship not good enough? what sort of weird power are you wielding over me? also, why? ?‍♀️

Not letting the founder of a company, who ran the org for 90% of its life, on the podium when you ring the bell… is revisionist history.

the key consumer trends emerging early in this new decade are #privacytech and #hygienetech. both are driven by increasing distrust: i dont trust the devices in my house, and i dont trust the people outside.

Everyone fails. Anyone you see succeeding is only succeeding at the things you’re paying attention to—I guarantee they are also failing at lots of other things. The people I respect most are those who fail well. I respect them even more than those who succeed. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/4PmASiSFco

If I learned anything from 2008 and early stage fundraising, it's this:
Many founders will be raising with 2019 ideas against a 2020 reality.
Acknowledge reality head on, paint a picture of the future you see, and position accordingly. True for every startup.

Disney's head of streaming Kevin Mayer is now the CEO of TikTok.

2 predictions:
? TikTok's going to acquire new modern media companies (e.g. Brat, Crypt TV) and potentially a record label
? Tiktok's going to produce their own shows with their top creators

Excited for TikTok!

The true reasons why startups win are often orthogonal to what investors want to hear

VCs love narratives about a unique insight or advantage. Which is sometimes true!

But often winning comes down to psychology—wanting it more—which is powerful yet unsatisfying for investors

Not surprised but impressed to see @jack continually on the frontier. I expect many tech companies will follow. For software, remote work is here to stay.

I bet that, like me, women across America are having epic SMS threads with each other, sharing their anger, fears & emotions around Dr. Ford’s testimony. What you see on social media is the tip of a massive iceberg. Men, care about these exchanges. Ask questions. Be an ally.

RICH measured in $. WEALTH measured in TIME. Example. Most people think $1 million is rich. But if expenses are $100,000 a month wealth is only 10 months. QUESTION: HOW LONG CAN YOU SURVIVE WITHOUT WORKING? That’s how wealthy you are. Being WEALTHY more important than being RICH
