This part from the latest @paulg essay really hit home. There’s a number of past instances where we optimized for the future instead of for that day. And we still catch ourselves doing this from time to time. We learned to not be sloppy, but to deal with issues as they come.

In GovTech, founders without public sector experience will naturally face some sort of imposter syndrome selling a product. Here’s a pretty important learning lesson I encountered. TL;DR: touch grass, embrace it, and don’t hide behind a webcam

A question I get asked all the time is how YC reacted to our pivot, given that they funded us for a completely different idea. Most pre-seed investors invest in founders, not the idea. If they aren’t supportive, they were probably not the right fit.

This is why groupthink is so prevalent now. It’s at the point where people either have to pin their worth to their belief and accept being ridiculed if it’s not true, or just agree with what everyone else says. A whole lot of confirmative rhetoric in lieu of actual creativity.

It's weird that people get mocked for changing their minds. To me it seems *more* impressive to conclude P after previously believing ~P. If P is in fact true, you not only got the right answer, but did it with a headwind.
