As much as you should value data-driven decision-making, I believe you should not underestimate the power of intuition. Nothing beats analytical thinking when combined with instinctive judgment :)
Great way to wrap up the day with @cory’s talk :)
I think if we reflect on this week's startup news, it's clear we need to go back to the basics. Trends might spike valuations for a while, but true long-term value of a company is ultimately revealed through solid fundamentals like revenue, profitability, market share, etc.
If you really want to understand a company, go write a memo on it. The amount of information you’ll learn is insane. You’ll end up with a better understanding not only about the company itself but the market opportunity + competitive landscape & major players involved
I finally received my @getairchat invite and excitedly opened it during class, not realizing my volume was turned all the way up. It was so loud that the professor stopped the class & I had to explain what Airchat is - so embarrassed 😭
survival of the fittest is such an underrated phenomenon
Replit is killing it! Coding is finally catching up with the real-time, collaborative vibe of pretty much everything else we do. Kudos to @amasad & the Replit team :)

I just tried it out - it responded well to my inputs, but not as quickly as a human would. This left me thinking: could it make us view machines as less human, or lead us to see our interactions with people as mechanical and impersonal?

Getting in early is so powerful. Being the first hire at a startup, snagging the first dibs on a cool product, or even founding or funding the next big thing – that’s where the magic happens. You’re setting the pace, leading the race, and enjoying the chase.

I think there's so much hype around moving fast. Sometimes, it’s crucial to pause for a bit, catch your breath, reflect, and then proceed. When you're always chasing goals, dreams, or ambitions, you might miss out on the tranquility found in moments of contemplation.
The more you engage with/observe something, the better you get at crafting patterns. Once these patterns are in place, you can either (1) perform tasks or (2) recognize things much faster. As a result, this quickness now stems from intuition, not just cerebral processing.

A founder asked me for advice going into their YC interview and I think these are basically applicable for any investor pitch: - why is your market a good one? - why are you as founders impressive + well matched for the problem? - speak plainly / no marketing buzzwords

IMO, quality in experience design is about attention to details in usability, usefulness and/or immersion. And the intangible outcome is satisfaction, desirability and/or emotional investment. Form, mechanics & structure is in service of those things.
