We spend the first 18 years of our life trying desperately to fit in with other kids. Then the next 30 years trying to stand out from them as adults

Emmett Shear @eshear You think you have a morale problem; a management problem; a recruiting problem; you don’t. You have a growth problem. Nothing succeeds like success. Emmett Shear @eshear Over time, develop a huge vision that’s bigger than any specific thing you’re working on. Put it as far in the future, and make it as huge, as you have the guts to.

I worked with emmett (ceo of twitch) for 2 years and I can safely say he’s a top 0.001% brain. He vacuums in data. We would be handed a 6 page memo and he would be done reading 10 minutes before anyone else. And then have the most insightful question or find the hole in it.

He is a fierce nerd as Paul graham would say. Competitive, but with a keyboard instead of shoulder pads.And most importantly- he would regularly give me nuggets of wisdom like this in our 1:1s.

and what if hiring developers was as easy as ordering from UberEats?

jonwu.eth @jonwu_ In 2017, I interviewed with Elizabeth Holmes to be Head of Finance at Theranos. I'm convinced I learned more in those 45 minutes than I did in 10 years of school and work. So when I heard Elizabeth was on trial I couldn't help but recall that moment. Time for a story 🧵 : pic.twitter.com/OxgdHfTWA1 September 2nd 2021 1,282 Retweets 7,466 Likes

Elizabeth Holmes court case just started. She’s a sociopath. Read this story. It’s a gem
