The first rule of activism: It's not enough that your actions are intended to help fix some problem. They must actually help fix it. And you can't take this for granted, because the easiest forms of activism mostly don't.
Managing @brian_armstrong's "Mission First" announcement as head of comms at @coinbase was one of the biggest challenges I've had in my career. It was the right thing to do, but very painful to execute internally and externally b/c it was so controversial at the time. It came…

Season 3 of The Social Radars podcast launches today! Our first guest is Yuri Sagalov, who is the insider's insider. He was funded by YC, then worked for YC, and now runs his own fund, Wayfinder Ventures, which invests in a lot of YC companies. pod.link/1677066062/epi…
I never saw this - thanks PB!!
My dad and I at my college graduation party. He's 82 today and still cuts a fine figure! HBD, Dad!

I get emails like this every other day. If that many are asking, can you imagine how many quietly stop pursuing software as a career because of the silly hype around programming being automated away?
"Which is not to say it's impossible. But before you try it, you have to be able to say why everyone else has failed." Yes.

@mouvement33 A source's story of USC payoffs to OJ victims--clearly what you saw-- was included in a 1994 Esquire cover story written by my wife. USC's response was "to our knowledge" that didn't happen. After the story appeared USC vociferously denied it--maybe because of that visit?

It's weird to think that Dean Preston grew up much richer than Garry Tan or Brian Chesky or the Collisons or for that matter almost all the tech founders he hates on.
20 years. No joke :)

It's weird how consistently people who attack Twitter point out that ad revenue has decreased. They don't seem the sort of people who care about companies' revenues, and now they're suddenly amateur stock analysts. I suppose it's because usage hasn't decreased.
I think this is true to a degree which few realize. Everyone needs to feel a sense of purpose through their own perception of their hero’s journey, and issues/conflicts will be manufactured to fill that vacuum if they don't otherwise exist.
Something I didn't realize when I was a kid: institutions can decay. Institutions seem so permanent, but it turns out to be very easy for them to drift from their original mission. The ACLU, the NYT, the Better Business Bureau, the ADL, NPR, none of them are what they were.
Jessica pointed out that the people saying I was hot are mostly guys. I pointed out that this shows she checked.
The first rule of activism: It's not enough that your actions are intended to help fix some problem. They must actually help fix it. And you can't take this for granted, because the easiest forms of activism mostly don't.
Think about it. They’re forcing you to liquidate valuable stock for increasingly valueless dollars. Which they can print. If you trace it through, the only entities with the dollars to buy such huge blocks of stock are backstopped by the Fed. It’s backdoor nationalization.
It’s difficult to describe how insane a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains is. Not a one-time 25% hit. It’s compounding, annually taking 25% of every dollar of potential increase before it can grow. Not an exaggeration to say it could single-handedly crush the economy.
I would much rather work with a consistent, predictable sales team that works hard every day than a bunch of reps who slam red bulls at the end of each quarter and close a few big deals to get to their number. tigereye.com/blog/attainmen…
“Apply to YC, get plugged into all the best builders of your generation, stay in San Francisco, and go all in now. Elements of the periodic table of startups are being discovered right now, and you all are the physicists.” @garrytan

"How to Start Google" (paulgraham.com/google.html) was a talk at my older son's school. It was one of a series of talks about careers. I just heard the students voted it the best one, and I'm happier than if I'd won some prestigious award.
Me in Ithaca in 1984 or 85. (In Ithaca, snow doesn't narrow down the month as much as you might hope.) The white thing is an egg. The photo was for my housemate Nancy's class project, which must have involved photographing people with eggs.
Unfortunately SF is a kind of "roach motel" for people with addiction issues. They are lured it with easy access to cheap drugs, free money, and lack of law enforcement, and they stay until they die of overdose. This is not compassion. It's exploitation by parasitic non-profits…
"and is believed to be in San Francisco's gritty Tenderloin neighborhood." Those are the words that stick out to me in one of the now many, many articles about the disappearance of Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake's 16 year old daughter Mint. It's the leading story on the…
