Today another founder from a year ago showed up. I asked him if he had any advice for the current batch. Want to guess what it was?
"Be really lean."

I was helping some startups in the current YC batch get ready for Demo Day. A founder from a year ago dropped by. I asked if he had any advice for them.
"Don't spent your money," he said.
Will they listen? Probably not any more than they usually do. But we can hope.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Try using a mouse on current tiny airline tray tables or in an airport. Travel is where the pointing stick comes in handy, not when sitting at a desk. 👍

@[email protected] @[email protected] Lifelong Thinkpad user here. Used it ALL the time till the pointing stick was replaced w/ multi touch trackpads. BUT it still boosts productivity in productivity in pro apps like AutoCAD, SketchUp Pro, etc when shortcuts are mapped to surrounding keys. 👍👍

Most of my conversations with founders today are oriented around dealing with the ups and downs of founder life while managing emotions along the way.
The shift has happened from deeply tactical discussions to deeply personal ones.
Managing ourselves is the theme right now.

Eventually, even the most agile teams slow down
Too much debt, too much to rebuild, too many workflows, too many customers, too many bugs, too many everything
But the most agile teams at least let you get far enough to build a real brand before it all slows down

Here’s an example of a hockey stick chart that looks like a cake when split into cohorts
Notice the steady (and growing!) base

People long for hockey stick 🏒 growth curves, which are good
But I also like to look for cake 🍰 growth curves
Layers and layers of long term retaining cohorts, all stacking up
Hockey sticks need to look like cakes when split into cohorts to sustain
Let’s get some 🍰 graphs!

Early in my founder career I felt stabbed in the back every time a team member left.
Now I feel happiness and pride.
Your startup is a better university.
Bet on people ahead of resume; leapfrog careers; impart skills, network, purpose; build alumni mafia.

React Redux started using ReactDOM.unstable_batchedUpdates on v7.1 and my THEME_CHANGE action went from 1000+ re-renders to a single one. 🤯
