I meet a lot of founders who are worried by the rapid rate of technological change. They shouldn't be. It may feel uncomfortable, but techno-turbulence is net good for startups. They're much more likely to adapt successfully to some big change than incumbents are.

One of my pet peeves is when people falsely compare their business to an incumbent. Most often I hear companies suggesting they are the “Google for X” because they do some kind of search

Bahaha this is some psycho gambler shit. Do not talk your future best man who is 10x worse than you into betting money line and just taking his money

Wow never thought about it as hours per % but ya this is great advice

The best founders also know exactly what their competition is doing. “Oh we don’t think about competition because we are focused on building the best product” is not a good answer

There are lots of examples of inefficient businesses with slowing growth reducing their workforce size

I have to say when I pulled these numbers I didn’t expect Block to be driving ~$1M in gross profit per employee today at their 10K FTE mark. 6% EBIT still low for 0% revenue growth business, but still impressed they may get to $2M gross profit per employee this year.

Sometimes you can really tell when people haven’t had to deal with public market investors

BREAKING: drop shipping business goes to zero

Long term software gross margins will NOT be 80%

Ridiculous concept that software engineering jobs were in jeopardy. Most SWE jobs are at non-software companies (like Toyota, P&G, etc.) and those people need MORE software not less. Pure software co’s need to ship more software than ever to stay competitive. Mix is changing
