Whatever your cause, if you damage art or block traffic to "draw attention" to it, you're actually hurting it, because you alienate everyone who'd been neutral up to this point.
The secret to great communication? People actually liking each other. You’ve never met two people who like each other who have a communication problem. You’ve never met two people who have a communication problem who like each other.

“The hardest thing to teach a student—and the hardest thing to believe consistently—is that there is nothing ‘out there’ to go and get. There is no part, no career, no opportunity for which you should be searching and scrounging and coveting. All of the preparation is within, and…
Perhaps I’m just getting old, but my definition of luxury has changed over time. Now, it’s not about owning a lot of stuff. Luxury, to me, is feeling unrushed.
True confidence comes from self-respect. Self-respect comes from doing the right thing. Doing the right thing matters most when no one is watching.

There’s no such thing as a bad emotion—only bad reactions to emotions.
I'm grateful every day for... the food I didn’t grow, the home I didn’t build, the clothes I didn’t tailor, the sacrifices my parents made for me, the hard work of all the people without whom society wouldn’t function, the peace I didn’t fight for.

If America actually cared about winning the innovation war over the long run, it would 10X high skilled immigration. All the export controls, incentives, and subsidies are a farce until we literally create a pathway for amazing talent that wants to work here to be able to.
It's incredible how relatively conservative & actually good Silicon Valley culture is compared to the horrors that Hollywood, Finance, or Politics cultures produce. The worst thing that came out on SV recently was that someone ran a hackathon on New Year's Eve.
"When you make something truly for yourself, you're doing the best thing you can for the audience" Had exactly this philosophy when I started @StepUpApp but started questioning it as it's grown. Plan to double down on it in 2024 with StepUp and another fun consumer app!

Consuming content can be such an insidious distraction! The solution is to be intentional. Every morning decide what work you'd like to produce and content you'd like to consume. Then consume guilt free AFTER finishing your work for the day!

2024 mantras: More love, less judgement. More authenticity, less appeasement. More intention, less distraction. More creation, less consumption. More protein, less sugar.
Happy New Year! Cheers to living and loving more in 2024! 🎉❤️
closing enterprise customers as a startup
Thought for the day as I reflect on 2024 resolutions: Accepting the present and all my feelings about it will free me to decide what I want next and make it happen
brutal yet probably net positive idea: New Year’s resolutions but you tell your family and friends what their resolutions should be based on your observations of them
Blocks are due to fear of self or external judgment. Everything we make can be a personal reflection of who we are in that moment. It doesn't have to be the greatest we could ever do. If you live in a way where you can just be honest to where you're at, nothing will block you!

More people should pay attention to this message. One thing I’d add is that if your pushback is “but how can I measure quality” you are not yet ready, because even if you somehow found a measure, you likely don’t have the creativity & taste necessary to make it work in practice.

We re-took the SF Democratic Party. This is what that looks like.

Being good (in either sense) will bring you what seems like good luck, but isn't as random as it seems. People will talk about you behind your back, just as they do if you're bad, but instead of secretly harming you, they'll secretly help you.
