Last assignment of this semester was implementing a basic web server from scratch using C; Definitely one of the harder coding I’ve done so far, but also the most rewarding. Haven’t learned so much from a single assignment

These two questions are my favorites to ask when looking at early-stage startups: 1. Why are you the one to build/solve this problem? 2. What do you know about this problem that others/competitors don’t? For early stage, I think founder-product fit is more important than PMF.

@sama : “But if starting a startup is on your life plan, I think this is a really unusually special time to do it. There will be others. I'm not a believer that there's ever a last technology or a last platform shift, but there is one right now, and that's rare.”

@christinacaci on startup ideas: 1. Find your plumbers (a niche group of your ICPs), and make them happy 2. Painkillers > Vitamins: When you find a real painkiller, you'll know. 3. Assume competitors are smart. If they're doing things differently, wonder and figure out why.
