To founders caught up in the Twitter debate of the moment... remember your users need your help and they don't give a shit who is tweeting here.

I never understood why US VCs use Yale or Stanford as "best possible founder filter" Compare it to: - Get into IIT in India - then a US visa (as Indian!) - then join a top-tier company in the Bayarea - AND THEN decide to "f&ck it… i'll start a startup" That's a filter! 🤯🔥

Founders: it's easy to fall in love with your solution, but success lies in falling in love with your users' problems. The most transformative startups are those that listen more than they speak, iterating relentlessly until they've not just met needs, but exceeded expectations.

This morning, Nature published two papers on bridge editing, the new genome engineering technology from @ArcInstitute: nature.com/articles/s4158…, nature.com/articles/s4158…. I'm quite excited about its potential! Since the whole thing is pretty arcane, I fed the blog post

In Web 1.0 people thought if you owned the browser you owned the Internet. It turned out to be wrong— the value was in solving problems. Today, you don't need to be a chipmaker or an AI research lab— you just need to solve real problems. It's the same as it ever was.

It happened to me first — headlines portraying me as a “toxic leader” when I had to make the same, often unpopular, decisions that my male peers did without critique. For them, it’s called Founder Mode, and it’s celebrated (a proper noun! With its own merch! And trademarks

Feels like the 1980s again. In the 80s the yuppies (young urban professionals) grew tired of the preachy moralism and ugliness of 1960s leftism and embraced aesthetics, success and excellence.
