🐘metabolist@mastodon.social I hope there will be a feature to follow & unfollow tags in one of the future releases
@ShivamShankarS 1. wondering if this wud happen in India (a biz head mocking a politician in public) and what wud happen if (s)he does 2. Why is he picking fights instead of fixing bleeding @ Twitter? 3. Musk is us: we are many. He runs useful firms like spacex & does these nonsense too
@divanshuarora Recalling conversations? Can you please explain? Do you mean zoom-like meetings?
@malpani You are so well read. I'm surprised you know abt this case (I don't think any news site outside TN talked about it). Good.
@marshallk @ProductHunt What are your views Marshall on generative AI?
@joepine @HarvardBiz Well deserved Joe
@arvidkahl @otter_ai @DescriptApp Interesting. I thought otter & descript do same things.
@rishabh_grg More than throwing things in public, - find why you are not making progress (lethargy, not interested in the project, something else is more interesting…) - find an accountability partner (paying helps) who can help you untie some of these - find a peer in the path
@Ty_Groves @eliseasanias @Codie_Sanchez What’s that “bro” feeling?
@SathyaHQ @LeeLaunches @helloashpreet @curiouspiyuesh I like my sketch 😜 can you make it as an avatar? Will put it as my Twitter profile pic 😀
@SathyaHQ Always create your portfolio on your own domain. Use these services for discovery & distribution. Too many services shut down.
@davedillon Would be interesting to look at one of those decks :-)
@_FlorianFranco @SathyaHQ @tnvora Thank you for your comment Florian. You can listen to the full episode here:
@FoundersPodcast O-Ring theory of development talks about this phenomenon
@davedillon This sounds so similar to the O-Ring theory of production.
For more, watch this excellent video on this topic: from @MRevUniversity
At personal level, iron sharpens iron. The best way for talented people to be paid well is to work around other talented people. Increase your skill level and move to cities, companies that value that skill level.
At the countries level, if there is smaller decrease in productivity of its citizens, the GDP levels are going to drop substantially. Think of potholes, bureaucratic delays, cumbersome tax filings...all reduce the productivity of the citizens and reduce GDP that much.
Lessons for leaders: • Reduce number of tasks for a particual output • Invest in quality tools • Hire fantastic employees • Train them to play at their peak levels • Keep them
Bringing a high quality worker amidst a low-quality workers doesn't alter the final output much, unless quality of each worker improves. Most CEOs think of adding more junior resources under the guidance of a senior will propel the company forward. Mythical thinking.
Stated otherwise: • 2 mediocre chefs are not equivalent to 1 excellent chef • 2 mediocre test-suits are not equivalent to 1 excellent test-suite • 2 mediocre developers can't outperform 1 excellent one
It implies: Small decrease in skill decreases the output a lot Conversely: the more great workers a company already has, the more incremental value another great worker adds.
@benedictevans Remember what @pmarca said in another context. People get used to technology quickly and act as though they always behaved a certain way.
John Bogle pioneered index fund investing but invested in his son's active fund. We are a contradiction. We are emotional, not rational.
30 years back, we consumed less news; Probably we read for 10 - 30 min and that was the end of it. Today, we are constantly bombarded with news. That messes our happiness.
Time poverty is a unique form of poverty of the rich. If you have booked yourself from morning until the night in calls/meetings (like lawyers), you are rich but live in time poverty.
When so much of our identity is tied to making money, we continue to keep up with the score card even when we achieve so much
Happiness is not the goal; contentment is. Nobody is happy all the time; but we can be content. Contentment = things happened, but I came out good
Money is not a performance drug (making you a super human) but a vaccine (prevents diseases that make you invalid and bed ridden) Money may not give you more happiness but removes many areas of unhappiness.
Rationally, it makes sense to pay off highest debt Paying smallest debt boosts our ego and puts us in a path to close other debts Practical solutions beats rational solutions
Economists suggest rational solutions. Personal finance coaches (like @DaveRamsey) suggest practical solutions. Decisions are not made on excel; they are made on the dinner table. Practical solutions > Rational solutions
@madversity I hope you write an article or a blog post or at least a thread. I hv learned quite a bit from following you. But in this case I am conflated - wire editor filed a case. How will police prove the editor is a victim & not culprit? - if I throw mud on you & say sorry is it ok?
@orangeturban @TheAtlantic Two of my fav writers (David Brooks & @DKThomp) write there. I study writing by picking part Derek’s articles. For ex: read this piece. Masterly usage of literary devices.
@darshansharma_ Antidote for abuse is not “no use” but right use.
@kish2011_ @TheAtlantic Interesting. Let me check
@tarauk The signal will invert: those with tick are propagandist; follow others
@marshallk Spammers will buy; real people will not; so the signal will invert - avoid those who have blue tick; follow normal ones ;-)
@johncutlefish Interesting. Thanks.
@johncutlefish What do you do with your Twitter export?
There has to be lose community of communities to support the families in this venture. As more nuclear / micro / gurukulam schools come up, the community will start to form. I hope the future of kids education is better.
In the age of "sovereign individuals", a school could be as small as 1 family; and as big as all families in a community or as variety as from across the globe
When run by community, you can increase on all the above 3 points. when you bring in mothers, you bring in "skin in the game".
Schools run as a business venture is ok; but like any business, - progress is measured on proxy (scores, attendance) not on what matters (ability to learn, creating & capturing value) - the real stakeholders (students) have no say (like b2b product sales) - none has skin in game
