OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shares 'most frequent advice' he givesWhen I talk to undergrads, what surprises me most about them is how conservative they are. Not politically, of course. I mean they don't seem to want to take risks. This is a mistake, because the younger you are, the more risk you can take.
Hiring is ObsoleteOn the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog
Hiring is ObsoleteThe most productive young people will always be undervalued by large organizations, because the young have no performance to measure yet, and any error in guessing their ability will tend toward the mean.
Hiring is ObsoleteIt's hard to judge the young because (a) they change rapidly, (b) there is great variation between them, and (c) they're individually inconsistent.
Hiring is ObsoleteMansueto’s original idea was realizing that just aggregating all of this data into one, searchable place was a product in itself,
Putting Data in a Corner: LLMs and Financial Services Data | Andreessen HorowitzWhen I left Facebook, I made a list of every single person I loved working with. Now I do it every time I leave a company.

I’m not as methodical or

Saving the Liberal Arts - David PerellHistory has come to a stage when the moral man, the complete man, is more and more giving way, almost without knowing it, to make room for the … commercial man, the man of limited purpose. This process, aided by the wonderful progress in science, is assuming gigantic proportion and power, causing the upset of man’s moral balance, obscuring his human side under the shadow of soul-less organization
Saving the Liberal Arts - David PerellTechnical specialization without the eventual support of a Liberal Arts education is a good way to get rich but a hollow way to lead a life.
Saving the Liberal Arts - David PerellInspired by him, we should solve our higher education problem by separating education in two parts: one that makes you employable so you can take care of your material needs and another that prioritizes the accumulated history of civilization so you can nurture your immaterial ones.
Saving the Liberal Arts - David PerellIf anybody is aware of a kind of knowledge that doesn’t deal with “complexity, diversity, and change,” please let me know.
Saving the Liberal Arts - David PerellAn abundance of connectivity has resulted in us getting overjudged.
I'm on a mission to shrink your peer group | Louis PereiraI think the better saying is to follow your interests and always be open to new things.
How Unpopular Ventures' Founder Built a $50 Million Startup PortfolioThe business traction is unrivaled. Most six year old companies are lucky to have one product line powerfully working. Rippling has ten product lines that are each above $1m in ARR.
Rippling is Built Different - BedrockAvoid editing and writing a blog post at the same time, where you erase two words for every three you scrawl. Instead, write five streams-of-consciousness in one day and edit them into coherent essays throughout the week. That way, the artist inside you isn’t immediately neutered by the critic and actually has the opportunity to create. At the same time, the critic will get a chance to make sure that the artist doesn’t just take a big shit on your blog.

This is about you and your specific situation; you need to make sure that what you learn serves you.
