It’s all about perspective. Always think about the end-user.

They say that the children are our future and most American kids now say they want to be a YouTuber when they grow up. arstechnica.com/science/2019…
When people tell you "No", how does that make you feel? Do you crumble inside and feel like you failed? Does it motivate you to keep pushing forward to find your "Yes"? How many "Noes" does it take for you to quit?
Remember when everyone was doing the mannequin challenge a couple years ago? Well, if you participated, you helped train a neural network. Google AI used the YouTube videos of people doing the challenge to help teach a neural network on how to navigate unfamiliar surroundings.
Wow 😲! So much for the future of the carbon-neutral movement. The computer power needed to train common large AI algorithms can emit nearly 5x the amount of carbon as the average American car. technologyreview.com/s/61363…
Being a new #mother is supposed to be the happiest time of your life, but #postpartumdepression and anxiety strip that away for a time, but trust that it will not last forever. bit.ly/2WwgSQl

For many kinds of work there are three phases: 1. When nothing's working. 2. When it's working, but only your initial users/audience realize that. 3. When everyone knows it works. Phase 2 is the most fun. Enjoy it while it lasts, because you'll miss it in phase 3.

When resolving a conflict with a coworker you admire and love to work with, honestly communicating your feelings/fears (and understanding/accepting their feelings) is so constructive.
Are pogo sticks the next big thing in micro-mobility? 🤔 This Swedish startup thinks so. sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/20…

Remember when restaurants tried to make Freedom Fries a thing? Well, now the US Department of Energy is trying a similar strategy by rebranding fossil fuels as “molecules of US freedom.” The Earth isn’t warming up because of greenhouse gases — it’s just the heat of freedom.

I know sometimes when I go to the doctor, it doesn't feel like a patient-centered practice. bit.ly/30XILUW

When a startup is small, it seems cute and the press writes encouragingly about it. When it reaches the size where they can get attention by attacking it, they do that instead.
Remember that time IHOP changed its name? Well, it’s happening again. This time the acronym will stay the same, but the P won’t stand for “pancakes.” Any guesses on what it will be? Pierogi? Parmesan? Possibility? Pajamas? Platform-as-a-Service?

When you enjoy what you are doing it doesn't seem like work.

Biographies of famous people often mention how they worked at night and on weekends, as if this were painful for them. But if you like what you do, nights and weekends are the best time to work. That's when you get those wonderful big blocks of time without interruptions.
Opportunities lie where no one is looking.

One thing Viaweb and Y Combinator had in common was that there was no name for what they were when we started them. A small sample size, I know, but if there's no name for what you're building, that may be a good sign rather than a bad one.
