The longer you spend in tech, the stronger the urge to buy a farm and never touch a computer again in your life

The only lesson in tech that must be experienced and cannot be taught is that raising money only increases your probability of failure (failure being defined as the founders not getting rich).

True Wealth by Nassim Taleb Crusty bread ✅
OKRs, KPIs, "stories"(?), tons of meetings, over-hiring because you'll be judged on the size of your team when it comes to importance, working for decades in companies that have never made a profit, absurd separation of roles that abstracts away product management and design
the more I read about how other software companies work the more I think the ideal company is just a Knights of the Round Table setup
I actually feel bad for founders who get trapped on the VC / PE fundraising hamster wheel. What a crap existence.

Totally agree. The important thing that people often miss is that you have to *fight* to keep the product simple. The universe is conspiring against you. Absent intervention, products always get more complicated.
It doesn't matter how big your product gets—whether it is the number of customers, users, features, geographies, revenue, or complexity—you need to pay attention to every pixel that the team produces. You must fight to keep the product relevant, simple, and delightful.

When @tuple started working, one of my strongest fears was that we'd be a temporary success, reinvest everything, and be left with nothing when it eventually failed. As soon as there was even a small amount of excess cash in the business, I pushed hard to dividend it all out…
Unlike companies that reinvest all or most of the money back into the company every year, we take all the money (profit) out every year in the form of distributions (we’re an LLC). This means every year we take risk out of the company. Companies that keep reinvesting keep adding…
The primary function of venture capitalists is to mistreat founders so founders can hold grudges and then go scorched earth to prove them wrong.
I feel a little bad for my founder friends running venture-backed businesses. You can be pretty darn successful and still not get rich :(.
my broadest criticism of People in General is that there is often a "we've tried everything" attitude when they have tried nearly nothing
it’s entirely possible to overthink and then still fail to do the necessary thinking
RETVRN Agile was conceived as a grift so devs didn’t have to accept responsibility for uncertainty, instead we turned software dev into a maze of bureaucracy and friction so 5 midwits can “collaborate” on lowest common denominator ideas built by a nanny committee.
I'm currently developing software outside the software industry. No Scrum. No JIRA. No meetings. No sprints. No microservices. No Clean Architecture. No DDD, TDD or other acronyms. I just build the software. I don't wanna jinx it, but this is therapy for me.
There’s a common belief amongst growing teams that you need to hire “org leaders” aka bureaucrats at some point. It’s a lie propagated by bureaucrats. The best leaders are authentic doers. Hire and promote them and let them lead.
Also a lie propaganda yes by product consultants - esp those selling “product ops”

I hope so. Hopefully ”Product Ops” will die before it infects too much…
The bloated PM org is at an end. Let's elevate the individual contributor who's obsessed with crafting great products.
