One reason it's so hard for founders to successfully hand their companies off to professional CEOs is that running a company ends up being like driving a janky old tractor that works great as long as you subconsciously know a hundred weird esoteric things about how to drive it.

I bonk people who say "feature X makes it easier to..." on the head with my design stick. Use absolute, not relative, descriptions to emphasize the specific things you'll be able to do today that you could not do yesterday. If you can't articulate this, you don't have a product.

I hope every publisher adopts what Claire Hughes Johnson implemented in Scaling People w/ QR codes on each page. Content is A+ to begin with, accessibility of links on each page even better 🙏

Huge thank you to #VsCancer Ambassador Coach Kennedy and Elon Baseball! They have partnered with Vs. Cancer every season since 2014 raising a total of $168,000! This past year they've raised over $10,000! ⚾️👏 #phoenixrising

Ranked No. 5 in the world, made $9.4M this season, won a grueling event last night and now looping 36 for an old teammate today. The best dude in pro sports.

The best place to relax is near water. After just 2 minutes of viewing water outdoors, blood pressure and heart rate drop. It's more calming to look at a lake, pool, or stream than trees or grass. Beaches are popular for a reason. Wider bodies of water bring more tranquility.

I miss taking on field batting practice and shagging in the outfield. There should be some place in every city where we can pay a monthly membership to take live BP after getting off work. I don’t want a gym membership, I want an open field where I can hawk down flyballs

Hey Elon Musk , can we keep the progress going with you and Pete Buttigieg Let’s get Starlink on all Amtrak routes—the current WiFi is a total productivity drain. I’m sure my former governor Secretary Gina Raimondo would be on board! 🚆✨ #starlinkonamtrak .

Elon has shown us this week what the future looks like. Robovan and robotaxis, humanoid robotics, green parks instead of parking lots, tunnels, rockets that are fully reusable and chopstick shenanigans. All of it sci-fi, but greater, and here, and incredible.

Are you also watching the brain trust of tbe Democratic Party who lost this election, now trying to figure out HOW they could possibly have lost this election? As a highly visible Democrat who never thought this was going to be close or a “nail biter”, and who said publicly that

Our founder Parker Conrad is known for his candor: "Whenever founders ask for my advice, I tell them: 'Don't start a company. It's a terrible idea.' The journey is soul-crushing and harder than most people realize." But if you're already on this path, the last thing you need is

Apple's new terms for developers in Europe are insane. How did this once great company become so bitter and spiteful?

Cam got the call. 📞 Congratulations to Cam Devanney ‘19 on becoming the 14th player in Elon Baseball program history to make it to The Show! #PhoenixRising | #GoldStandard

One hell of a crew. ⚓️ @Dockwa crossed a fun milestone this summer — over $1B in payments through @Stripe. The team at Stripe marked it with a handcrafted 74 Viking in a bottle. Thoughtful, timeless, and a damn fine choice of boat. Grateful for the marinas, boaters, and crew

I like this framing- what are other examples

This is why new grads should be taking jobs SMBs and teaching them how to use agents to optimize processes they couldn’t take the time or afford to do manually. Big companies don’t need new grads for this. Entrepreneurial companies will love the value you add. For job
